More complicated flag tech than the 3-frame Kirby one:
1) Lontano Villa from Bravely Default - looks like the flags are flat images whose sprite is bended (a word probs) with a function (looks like sine wave with little bit of squash/stretch).
2) Northern Area from Hyper Light Drifter - can’t tell if behavior is random or just LOTS of animation frames. Either way, movement feels unscripted which gives the illusion of a living, breathing, windy world.
