Here is a small demo of the facial expression system I’m working on as part of a Flash game project. There are only a small number of expressions demonstrated here but hopefully it gives you a basic idea of what is possible. I am trying to develop a system where I have a high level of control over the facial features and that is also capable of performing smooth transitions between a variety of facial expressions. I’m quite happy with the results so far but there’s still a lot of work to be done.
I’ve made a few modifications to the original version [link]
Added a few extra expressions.
Altered the buttons.
I’ve added a body so the head isn’t just floating there anymore. I should point out that the body used is not the style that is going to be used in the final game although it may be used in other projects.
I’ve altered the transition so they don’t start off as slowly. This was to show how you can interrupt at transition mid-transition into a different expression. Hitting multiple buttons in quick succession seems to result in slowdown but this shouldn’t be an issue in the final game.
- Ugghh

Cheers Alma-Pu. I really want to have a go at another facial expression project. Not sure if I want to do an improved 2D project though or try my hand at something 3D
