For several years I've been keeping an idle eye out for programs
that do tweening or even the entire process of animation. (I'm
looking to eventually do something set in Warriors' World, the
V&V campaign that inspired both my fanfic series Drunkard's
Walk and my 1991 book from Steve Jackson Games.) I haven't seen
anything I like yet, but it's only a matter of time, in my
opinion. Once something decent comes out, it will just be a
matter of finding an artist to do key cells -- and, of course,
casting voice actors.
