There's something about those rough outlines that I really like. Looks like this is going to be interesting!

Need Art? Have An Art Jam! Last weekend, I had the whole crew over to my place to get some work done. We ended up working all through Saturday and Sunday!  Good thing we had lots of supplies:  Can’t wait to show you what we accomplished! Here's an update on the main character. What do you think?  |

The art style actually gives me a Rayman-esque feel. That's pretty cool. Nice idea for an art jam too. Look forward to seeing what the gameplay turns out like!

I like the character design, especially the helmet and hair style.  The image looks like the aspect ratio is wrong, though. Looks squished vertically. Also, her midsection looks a little boring at the moment. A simple belt buckle or something would help, I think. |

Hmmmm, good points. This is a concept, so I'll definitely make sure the aspect ration is correct for in-game assets. I think that since the character will be fairly small on screen, too many details might end up cluttering up the visual space though. Thanks for the feedback!  |

Love the sense of scale in the first shot, very cool. Almost a bit of an evocation of Shadow of the Colossus. Art style reminds me a bit of Dragons Quest, which is cool. Very intrigued!

I like this concept, and how tiny the character is compared to the creature.

Hey everyone! I have a small update to share: Thora's run cycle animation! It was beautifully drawn by the very talented Alex Boyer. Enjoy! |

Earlier this week I presented at an event called the Mount-Royal Game Society Craft Meet-Up in Montreal. I talked about getting to Kickstarter (though I have not yet launched the KS campaign), the creative process behind the making of Jotun and the business and marketing side of indie game dev. It went well and I got a ton of feedback from fellow devs  Here are the slides I used: http://www.slideshare.net/williamdube/jotun-the-road-to-kickstarter-mrgs-craft-meetup-presentationHow do you guys feel about indies using Kickstarter to get their project going? |
