Bronwyn (the lead artist from the playsets team) was very privileged to chat with the wonderful Jennifer Tierney on the latest episode of her podcast How to Make a Memory.  It was a fantastic experience to revisit the crazy experiment that is playsets with such a great lady.  Hope you enjoy.

This blog is about to change, a lot.  Don’t freak out.

HI, my name is Bronwyn.  I am the artist from the playsets team and the one who has been curating this blog for the past few years.  While I have re-posted quite a bit, I haven’t said much.  That is about to change.  The playsets team has had our nose to the grindstone getting playsets up to what we think it can be, and it’s doing great, but we can do better.  

Our goal with playsets has always been to build a space where people could inspire each other, and play together, but we weren’t participating.  It doesn’t have to be that way.  Let’s be friends.  I’ll try not to be too awkward.  

Making playsets is crazy complicated.  It started as a fun side project with an estimated six month development period, so that three friends could play D&D together, across the country. Three years later, we have been so caught up in making this weird, beautiful, digital toybox that we don’t have time to play.  Indie game development is hard, and playsets isn’t even really a game, (which makes it difficult to explain to people what I do), but we love doing it.  We love sharing our toys with you, and we are ready to start playing again.

So here is the plan.  I am going to post half finished screenshots of the stuff I'm working on.  I’m going to write awkward little blurbs on what it is like to be an indie game artist and hopefully share some production tips. And I’m going to do this every day. I will probably still reblog awesome art, but that will be secondary to sharing the work I’m doing on playsets.

For those of you who choose to stay, thanks for sticking around, let’s see where this ride takes us.

We smashed some of the new builder props from the upcoming sci-fi pack into one of our older classic fantasy maps.  I think it turned out pretty well.

Here’s a sneak peak at some of the new stuff coming to playsets in the next update (should be available mid May)

May the 4th be with you!

Of course I say I’m going to post something everyday and then immediately miss my own deadline.  Well, better late than never, here are some rough sketches for two variations of a Sphinx boss token that I’m working on.  One will be dark, and one will be light.  I haven’t decided which one will be which yet.
