Kickstarter Plans For Traditionally-Animated 3D Game
Firstly, anyone who has been reading this blog knows that I have been planning a hand-drawn 3D game, using traditional animation for the characters. This game never had a proper title, but I’m giving it one now:
James – Journey of Existence
Catchy, right? No? Ok, it’s a tenative title. Anyway…
I’m also announcing my tenative plans to launch a Kickstarter campaign to help fund this project. Ok, anyone who read past posts would have seen this coming a mile away, but it feels good to finally say it. Such a Kickstarter wouldn’t be up until late in the month, but keep an eye out for it; no Kickstarter is successful without supporters!
What’s Wrong With The Gaming Industry?
Yes, the games industry is in a bit of a rut.
“But Jasper,” you say, “we’re in the midst of a next-gen revolution! Shiny new consoles are being released that are 10-times as powerful as what we were using before! Some of the best games of the generation were released in the last year! Surely these are great times for the games industry, right?”
First off, don’t call me “Surely.” Second, yes the games we’ve gotten in the last few years have been fantastic. If you time-traveled back about a decade ago and showed them “Skyrim” or “Grand Theft Auto V,” they’d wet their pants. But remember that for every good game like these, there are several mediocre ones that somehow get on store shelves, but even those titles are slightly better in quality. And all of these games seem vaguely similar, despite being of different genres. I guess I’m saying after years of gaming, I just don’t feel excited like I used to.
Welcome to fromdustscratch.com!
A website and news feed for Dust Scratch Games, a new one-man Canadian independent video game company!
… ok, there isn’t much integrity in that last statement, but keep an eye out for us, you might be surprised!
Projects we work on will attempt to change how we look at game development, each in different ways. Most importantly, we will attempt to change how games “look,” hence the abundance of hand-drawn images on the site. If you like traditional animation, you’ll be excited for what we have in store…
Stay tuned as the website continues to be updated in the next few months!
