Project1: Update2

Nibs attacking a terrified squirrel

So I'm not on vacation at the moment so my "crunch" is over, but I've still been making progress on Project1. So far I have a basic HUD with health, stamina, and gold. The player can now attack and sprint. And the stamina is all hooked up, complete with a delay on the recharge.

difficult to see in the pic but dust is kicked up when sprinting

Veteran Nibs

I enjoyed this character so much I've played him in two D&D campaigns so far and will likely use him for more. He lost his left arm and leg in a battle between him and his ex-pet dragon Falcor. Since then he's mastered the ancient arts used to make the Constructs of Eberron and has used them to make himself a new arm. The peg leg seems to be working fine so far though, and the materials needed to make the one arm were hard enough to come by as it is.

Project1: Update1

Hey guys, I just started a new project called Project1 using the 2D game engine Game Maker. This is what I have after spending my spring break following tutorials, teaching myself code, and making all the art from scratch.

No combat yet but I have 3 levels that are accessible to each other via warp triggers. Levels fade in when you enter them. NPCs track the hero sprite when within a certain distance. And the basics are set up for a dialogue system.

The game is a side scrolling fighter like Castle Crashers but has open-world navigation like Legend of Zelda. Each level has 6 potential layers of parallax motion when the camera moves.

Earth and Fire

So my good friend Jeffery Barros is a talented loresmith who makes up some pretty cool stories. Anyway he gave me a write up of some of the gods in his current project and asked if I wanted to take a crack at some of them. So here are the first two I did. Terra and War, the gods of earth and fire. Next up is are the gods of Sea and Sky.

MOTION!!!

My old coworker/current buddy Nate Ross recently posted some sweet gifs with his animations from Blacklight. A couple feature some of my stuff! And as a modeler it is ALWAYS awesome to see your stuff in motion. Go check out his blog! He also takes really awesome photos with his camera that is way nicer than mine.
