GoAnimate as you could gather from the name is a site where you can create 'Flash' like animations without having to learn flash. When doing a scene, (in example the one above) all I had to do was write the dialog in text boxes. I chose the characters from a limited assortment, but the option to create my own is there. I did nothing with the animation what-so-ever.
Since I already made a video, I made it to level 2. I have no ideas what that does or mean right now. I will cover more on that later... There are even "quests" which I am seeing as a how to get started tutorial thing..... O.o
I had the option to link to facebook and I gained some sort of blue coin....
I want more blue coins!!
