So I announced my newest project “True King” a couple weeks ago… it featured a tiny character you could barely see.
While most of the game will be like that, I spent a lot of time experimenting with my animation systems for the characters in this game. Here’s a cool video that shows what I’m working with.
During the 2016 Ottawa International Animation Festival, I tried to fully embrace the animation world, and did so by challenging myself to make one animation for every day of the 5-day event.
I actually did it too! The GIFs are on Twitter, see them below (about 10 MB total, be careful if on data plan).
Did I mention I was going to the Ottawa International Animation Festival this year? I’m here now.
And as time allows, I’m trying to write a live blog reaction to the event for each day.
Dust Scratch Games is proud to announce its next project: True King, a hand-painted 3D turn-based strategy RPG, due for release on PC platforms in 2017.
This blog is about my journey as an indie game developer. But I do other things too: last year I finished my Master’s degree with a thesis on artificial intelligence. In my defense I talked about a new algorithm concept of my own design, and how it improved over existing implementations. I also secretly intended the design of this algorithm to be usable in my next game project, which I am currently working on.
So with this justification and with my last paper on the subject published, I will briefly talk about my Master’s research in the article, and why I think I may never take a job involving “academia research” again.
