My quicky thumbnails might be a tad too crappy. For one thing, they are only the most minimal planning for a design. One of the things I've learned is that a little bit of advanced planning goes a long way. I really should spend a bit more time on them as it would save me time in the long run when modelling and texturing. I ordered a book on digital painting techniques and today I spent a couple hours with it working on speed painting. Look for some much better concept paintings in the near future.

I like the visual style you've got going on, it's pretty intriguing.
How do you like Blender for animating? I work in Max and Maya at work (although it's mostly modeling and texturing, rarely animating), but since I can't afford a legal copy of either for myself, Blender seems like my only option.

Thank you.  I haven't done a ton of animation in Blender and still don't understand all of it. It's pretty quirky. It works though (when you do it right). I don't have anything to compare it to as I've not worked with Maya or Max. My best advice it just download it and try it. You should probably pick up a 2.5 build from http://www.graphicall.org/builds/ as the UI is alot better than older versions. |

I'm working on a new game - a hidden-object/escape-the-room one. Zlythy is taking a rather long time (I'm not abandoning it though) so I'm doing a much smaller, shorter game. At the moment, I'm in the design stage - sketches, puzzles and music (4 tracks so far). I'm shooting for a release at the beginning of April. Here's a little teaser image:  |

Please finish Zlythy too. (Although they both look awesome.)

There will be a release for Zlythy in the near future. I've decided to release levels episodically. Thanks! :D |

I'm working on a very short, I can't even call it a game, "vignette" interactive piece. It's based on a dream/nightmare I had. There's not much to it. I mainly did it to figure out some aspects of game creation in UDK. It will be available for free in a week or so.

I like your stuff ! What happened to the first two projects ?
What technology do you use now that you dropped Unity ?

Zlythy looks awesome, please finish it . It's reminding me a bit of some of the landscapes in Fantastic Planet, only re-imagined in black and white. Very cool. |

Zlythy looks awesome, please finish it . It's reminding me a bit of some of the landscapes in Fantastic Planet, only re-imagined in black and white. Very cool. Thank you both. Zlythy and COMA are still in the works. When I started Zlythy (nearly 2 years ago now!) I didn't know what I was doing. "Oh yeah, I'll make a game, no problems." This is just a stepping stone. Zlythy is the end goal so it will get done. I realized, to get Zlythy where I wanted it to be, there was a lot I had to learn first. I've switched to UDK from Unity. I do my modelling in Wings3d and UV maps in Blender. UDK makes things a bit easier for me as a non coder. I suspect it makes things more complex from a coders perspective in many cases but it's working ok for me. And it looks really nice. And I always did love Fantastic Planet! I haven't seen it in years though; I should watch it again some time. |

First beta build of my first (not)game "Help Me, I Am Drowning." This isn't much of a game and it barely qualifies as a (not)game. It's mainly a learning experience. If you download it, please let me know if you have any problems, glitches, bug, etc. Thanks! Download beta01: http://db.tt/7QuCFXs |

Here's another build. There was a glitch with the particles, which should be fixed now. I also tweaked the fog, enlarged the swimmable area a bit and slowed the swimming speed: http://db.tt/FdVFbwDBtw, you can never reach the surface and you will drown. In case anyone was wondering. |
