Post-Match Animation Concept

[dc-redeclipse]

Since we have so many talented animators among our creators, it might be the right time to create Post-Match Animations to make the time after the match more engaging while the scoreboard is displayed. Also, it could be helpful to change how the spectating cams work after the match to better showcase the animations, so CAMs rotations around the players are need to be used for it.

1. Team-Based Modes (Win/Loss/Tie)

Winning Team (Positive Animations)

Players on the winning side cycle through cheerful and triumphant animations:

• Happy Jump → energetic hops or fist pump
• Cheer Pose → both arms raised, cheering
• Victory Point → dramatic “point to scoreboard” or flex

Highest-score player:

• Signature animation such as a weapon flourish, salute, or playful bow
• Hero Pose → raising weapon skyward, heroic stance
• Show-off Move → stylized dance, spinning weapon trick

---

Losing Team (Negative Animations)

Players show frustration or disappointment:

• Facepalm → slow, defeated motion
• Shrug → dismissive “oh well” motion
• Head Shake → slow disbelief shake

Lowest-score player

• could slump slightly or look embarrassed.
• winning like a baby, eyes rubbing

---

Tie / Draw

Neutral animations — not overly happy or sad:

• Shrug with Smirk
• Hands on Hips
• Slow Clap

---

2. Free-For-All (FFA) Placements

Animations are ranked by placement and cycle in order as the scoreboard scrolls through players:

1. 1st Place (Winner)

   • Epic victory animation: weapon twirl, confident stance, salute, bow

2. 2nd Place

   • Happy Jump or Cheer Pose

3. 3rd Place

   • Polite Clap / Nod

4. Middle Placements

   • Shrug / Hands on Hips

5. Lower Placements (Bottom 3)

   • Facepalm / Head Shake / Kicking Ground

6. Last Place

   • Over-the-top defeat: sigh, drop shoulders, exaggerated rage

3. Animation Showing in Spec TV

Having a Spec TV window above the Scoreboard and showing:

• FFA: Scoreboard animations play top-to-bottom in order of placement for 1,5 secs, (maybe making it browsable selectable for each player by having the pointer on each list entry and by highlighting on hover over, the player animation in the spec TV window is shown)

• 1st place lingers longer for emphasis Brief camera zoom + (highlight glow with light fx maybe)

• Team Modes:

  • Winning team plays their animations simultaneously
  • Losing team animations follow shortly after

Optional different animations can be used in Race Mode, such as showing muscles or performing a moonwalk for higher scores, and an ashamed on with two left like hands for lower scores for example, cause Race Mode does not involve weapons, for example.
