No matter how hard I try, I find it hard to stay away from working on this…
Those of you who read my blog know I am working on a 3D game where the characters are entirely hand-drawn. Previously, the background was kind of unfinished, but here’s some screenshots of the new introduction level (still not entirely finished, but that’s mostly what I’m going for):
Ok, I’ve had my fun with some blogging, now let’s talk about why I’ve called you all here tonight.
From my previous post, you know that the first major game by Dust Scratch Games will involve 2D hand-drawn characters in 3D space. That’s right: a hand-drawn 3d game. This isn’t necessarily the first time such a game was made: the JRPG “Time and Eternity” for the PS3 is advertised as the first playable anime, for example. But that game had the animated sprites in a fixed position in front of the camera, giving the impression of a crude first-person game with cartoons pasted on the front. This, among other reasons, was cause to generally poor reviews. Other games that tried hand-drawn images in games were either beautiful 2D games, or suffered for similar reasons of limitations in 3D.

… 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!
