WMD Sketch

|[<<Illustration Start ]|—–|[<Previous Illustration]|–——|[Next Illustration>]|–——|[Latest Content>>]|

I still do a lot of sketches but I don’t have as much time to put them up. This one I may have done a while back. It’s the kind you start not knowing what you’re doing when doodling as you wait for a meeting to start. I kept adding to it over time and lo and eventually finished it.

The image depicts these characters of an old story I made and hope to upload some time. There’s one little girl called Megan who can speak to machines, her “Grandpa” or guardian and this big robot called Orson. Here they are at some temple thats crumbling over. I think there’s a robot crab coming out of the wall but I may have not given my self space to draw that.


Cryptoludology: Why not a successful FPS for little children?

The other day I ran into a game design concept which I had jotted down long ago. Soon after I took time to consider the idea a little bit more.

You can read my thoughts on the “mythical” First-Person Shooter for kids at Gamasutra’s design blogs.

Cryptoludology? That was just a fun word to make up. Making games and comics you’re always doing that. Unless we’re attacked by Squirrelzilla, I will see you next time.

Understanding Bad Design Habits

“The answer is no,  I don’t wash my hands after designing a game. That’s your policy not mine.”

“If you’ll excuse me I have to write some very vague and unhelpful bug reports.”

A few weeks ago I got curious about common bad habits in game design. While I could find bad habit articles for graphic design and other disciplines I found game design a vary sparse subject.

Looking for more information I asked some of the designers I knew and this evolved in to a 20 point list which I posted to Gamasutra blogs. You can read all about it following this link.

Stubble View

Stubble_View

Thinking forward, there are many views to the single sight. Which on its own is devoid of wrong or right. By consequence of being, it is these sights that we understand. One or more at a time; with only the lens that’s available at hand.

I myself say, poh-tah-to.

Indeed.

How is it?

Quite good.

You sure?

Wasabi.

What?

Wasabi mattah with you?

Heh. You keep working on that.

Hmmp. Still it’s pretty good.

That’s something to be thankful.


Scary Dream Stubble

Scary_Dream_Stubble

I keep having this recurring dream where I have to kill these monsters that come out at night.

Do you wake up scared?

No, just tired of all the running around, rescuing the people in the dream, etc.

I dreamt I was peeing; and I did.
