The stop depends on the engine, the game style, the locomotion system, and all the constraints around it. It’s this context that determines how it must be built.

The stop is the first transition where input, engine, and animation finally have to react together. It’s the moment when locomotion stops being a sequence of states and becomes a behavior.

“Stops are the first transition where the moveset has to react instantly. They show how the character decelerates, catches the ground, and connects to the idle, without sliding or creating latency

A gameplay walk is validated in the engine, under real inputs, inside the full system. Method, calibration, and technical decisions: everything you need to know before you start animating.

Gameplay walk is the first moment when your animation has to exist within a system

A gameplay animation challenge accessible to everyone: create a believable, fluid, and readable walk, and lay the foundations of a solid moveset.
