I've been working on a shader to dynamically colour in some character portraits. Looks pretty good huh?! :D I'm really happy with it! The game is a 2d squad-based strategy shooter inspired by Bubblegum Crisis and other 80s scifi/mech anime like Patlabor and Cyber City 808! I have a lot of it done already engine-wise, but with games like this there's a lot of systems that need to go in first before they can be coordinated together to make a game, so it'll be a while before it's got enough to be playable. I'm really pleased with how this shader works though!

Main character idea for Rockfall. Been struggling the most with this, I'm leaning towards a faceless, undefined "you in a suit" mostly, but I also want to have reaction shots when you discover stuff and for that I need a FACE. This is my favourite so far, but we'll seeee

Some character art for my asteroid adventure game, Rockfall. Based on comics I did about 10 years ago!

Second Post!

I lost the original when I "backed out", ugh! It was too long anyway.

So yeah, Hi Tumblr! I've always liked you. I've tried blogs before but never stuck with them, maybe this is the one. Basically I like making video games and comics, so this blog will be a document of the trials, victories and progress of all of that, I guess.

I've made games most of my life professionally (over 100! :O), although these days I make more personal games in my spare time. Here's one of them!
