For easy reference, I made a new webpage just for our new indie game, “James – Journey of Existence.”

Here, you can find demos, videos, screenshots, and more! But stay tuned here to get the latest on development progress with all projects from Dust Scratch Games!
New demo for “James – Journey of Existence” uploaded. Made as a offline build, to let you experience to full quality of the game.

So, who is this cat? What does he have to do with our independent game “James – Journey of Existence?” Why doesn’t he have any whiskers?
Expect much more on “James – Journey of Existence” VERY VERY soon. Like, in the next couple of days. Stay tuned…
Also, here’s a logo for the game:
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.
