Hi guys,

This a pretty broad question as I'm doing some high-level research on adding 2d animation for an intro cutscene for my game.

The style of animation I had in mind is similar to the cutscenes in the game "Valiant Hearts: The Great War". ie: vector images that move, scale or rotate via simple paths.

What applications could I use to create 2d animations like this?

Have a look at Toon Boom Harmony here:

http://www.toonboom.com/products/harmony

Supports both vector and bitmaps. They have a subscription modal so you rent while you need it.

They also have a free trial so you can see if it's what you're looking for.

cheers,
