Who is motion corp? Dec 17, 2015 21:55:52 GMT

I see motion corp being congratulated by colin on twitter

I see the have a lot of godus animations.

Did 22cans outsource the art of only project they are publicly working on?
What happened to all the people who were employed to do this? move them to the (b)trial? let them go?

so fucking sad that the closest thing to real information about godus comes from places other than 22cons.

Maybe this is the shell corp that will be releasing the new content with the stain of 22cons and peter molyfraud.

Certainly seems fishy, can't quite seem to dig up anything on this new director of theirs, a Mr. Timothy Meredith.

Perhaps the company was formed by one or more former 22Cans animators/artists rather than them having taken up outsourced work?

So I would assume there is some relations to 22cans. Be it ex-artist or the fact 22cans is folding to open a new company that does not make games to get around that stigma?

Keep hyping "something brilliant is coming" through deniable agents. New companies/different employment is announced by ex-22can staff. Someone left, if history is anything to go by.

I think Tim might have been there since the beginning, so that's another of the original (and more experienced) Cans gone from the company. No one else is listed on their About Us page as working in animation, though obviously it's now very out-of-date. The neglect of the 22Cans website is depressing. The front page 'latest news update' is from June and the 'latest video' is from August 2014, announcing Godus entering the app store.

13thgeneral had a great metaphor for this:

The overall emotion here is that they could certainly have done much over the years to quell the playerbase community, but instead treat it like an awkward, pesky neighbor; they try to avoid us when its they whom are actually the oddball on the block. All we want is for them to mow their lawn once in a while, maybe a fresh coat of paint, and leash their stray dogs. They react by pulling the blinds, triple locking the door, and turning out the lights.

At some point we're going to be leaving harsh notes on windshields and banging on the door.

The solution has always been simple.

Something interesting in from Motion Corps at around 0,53 sec. Animated wolves! So wildlife might come back again (without sliding) and sheep seem to have animations too, so a possibility for farm animals is possible too, unless these were just some stuff for fancy trailers or such.

Wow. This is pretty much proof-positive they dumbed-down animation for mobile if you ask me. These animations are fantastic.

Hmm yeah, could be dumbed down, was good enough for me though, better than sliding wolves(no animation) when godus came out though! And since wolves were removed after the first implementation years ago, this is very good news to me at least. IMO the more hazards they place in the actual world we shape, the better.
