Romace is a collaborative visual novel project with a diverse cast, exploring romance and relationships through an asexual lens. My primary focus for Romace was skeletal animation, while my aim for the project was to create expressive characters in motion, while avoiding stereotypes regarding queer identities and sexualities in characterisation. Honours was the perfect time to branch out and learn skeletal animation, developing my workflow and proficiency within Spine 2D, an industry standard software for skeletal animation. Additionally, my existing experience in traditional cel-animation and my more technical skills from 3D rigging were easily translated into Spine 2D, allowing me to expand my expertise into this new medium.
