"Sketched" (2008)

I abandoned this project as the jokes just weren't as funny as I thought they would be, I think that my animation skills may have been the problem, the timing was off and everything...

Here's the long lost intro I just found on a random CD along with some of the sketches (They're pretty bad).

Animation and music by me...

The main problem I had with Sketched was the timing, as it's hard to time jokes when your constructing them from a time line. I do think my animation has gotten better thanks to my Ball Face animations, but I don't think I'll be continuing this. Ball Face on the other hand has been running trough my mind a lot lately, along with my game...

Game Progress

In November 2008 I finished a game I was making called "Prototype Demon" using Game Maker, it was based off a small comic book I doodled on the back of my science sheets in high school, it was heavily inspired by the Manga and Animation "Akira".

I later uploaded it to Yoyo Games.

As of now I'm reusing the "Prototype Demon" file to create a brand new game, it doesn't have a name yet and I probably wont even finish it.

Main character sprite.

It's about a girl trapped in her dream, and can only wake up once she has beaten her nightmares. The player must journey across 5 dream like levels and overcome any nightmares along the way.

At the moment there isn't a lot finished, but it's an idea that's been on my mind ever since I was making "Rock 2" (which wasn't finished). I have a map screen, collectables, basic movements and two music tracks.
Here's the graphic for level one (Crystal City) on the map screen.



I'm hoping to make this game as surreal as possible as it's set in a dream/nightmare, I'm entering this with an "anything goes" approach, it'll be fun to see how this turns out.

Epic Proportions


I know, it's more exaggerated than epic. I'll be uploading a lot more now, I got myself a scanner (woo). Took me a while to get it working, seems the extra money I bought it for was for all the error messages (naughty words were said)...

Oh here's another one...

Yeeeaaaahhh, I just wanted to draw something funky...
