Since last post, I started a series called Game Design Quest. It's a series that focus on the job of a game designer, exploring some questions and analyzing game mechanics. It's a new concept for the channel, so please bear with me as I try to find a good pace and formula for it.

Here are the first 3 episodes:

How to design characters as in Super Time Force - part 2

And I'm on Kickstarter with a video training project dedicated to 2d game art:

In this series, I will run you through the process of creating professional grade static assets for 2d games. I will share my workflow and my productivity tricks. Not only that! I will show you how Krita is becoming a solid option for professional work. Together, we’ll focus on character design, environments and User Interface.

Although we will use Krita, the concepts you will learn apply to any painting application or medium. The series will cover the unique general constraints we game artists face in our work. I will show you how to design sprites with a target camera and resolution in mind. I’ll show you how to produce crisp visuals that support the gameplay.

The campaign reached 50% funding in the first 24 hours, and is now on its way to being successfully funded. Want to become a better 2d game artist? Check it out now!

ʕ •̀ᴥ•́ʔ I'm back with 8 new videos!

I'm working on a 3 part series on painting rocks for video games:










I also released 2 videos dedicated to the major new beta features. The traditional animation toolset and the new rendering engine coming in Krita 3.0:

Overview of the Instant Preview in Krita anim beta
Overview of the Animation Toolset in Krita anim beta

Last but not least, I've covered Krita's new features since version 2.9.5. In these minor releases, there have not only been lots of bug fixes: we've also seen quite a few usability improvements!

Krita's New Features since v2.9.5
Krita 2.9 - Overview of the Tangent Normal Brush Engine
Krita 2.9 - Using the Tangent Normal Brush
Krita 2.9 - Flowmap Painting Example



I'm still on Kickstarter, close to 200% funded. It's the time to check out the campaign and spread the word! Once we reach the first stretch goal, I'll make a second training series about isometric game art and I'll open source all of the game assets I make as part of it!

ʕ •́؈•̀ ₎ Thank you kindly for your time!
