Day 6 of Inktober - Trek.
"Nima spurs her Threxal onward through the wasteland of cracked, purple rock, her cargo of stolen tech strapped to her back. The outpost on the other side of the canyon promises safety".

Day 5 of Inktober - Binoculars.
"Through battered binoculars, Drexx watches as the enemy terraformers strip-mine his once-lush home world. Despite losing the war, the rebellion begins with the first bomb tonight."

Alright, alright, alright. Chores done. Feline fed. Time to sketch for Inktober.
Are you keeping up? I usually make it to about day 10 and stop. Hoping to go much farther this year.

Really been enjoying "Utopia Must Fall" by PixelJam Games.
A cross between Missile Command and Geometry Wars with an upgrade loop after every round. Amazing vector line art and cool music. Here's a recent run just before I died.

The Last of the Mohicans soundtrack (Trevor Jones) is perfect to work to. I love epic instrumentals when trying to focus.
Perfect movie too!

If you read this it's an indication you're not working hard enough.
I'm going back to work because writing this is an indication I'm not working hard enough.

Why do I goof around all night and then randomly at 2am put on headphones and crank up Polyphia and decide to do some work? Just me right? hah.

Making a game is really making 3 games and shipping one of them. Normal.

I don't even have that many games wishlisted on Steam, but when I get an email from Steam I'm like "Dammit! I don't have time for this right now....ooohhhh $5.99 you say?"

AGS was fine, but seemed too stuck in the past. Low tech, everything is a module written by some user. Port issues, shader issues, just general technology issues. But really, you can ship commercially just fine. AC was fine, but so many clicks to do anything, being mainly node based. Visionaire is an option too.

PowerQuest. Used it once for a jam and known Dave Lloyd a few years. Played with AGS and AC but both were lacking for various reasons.

Trying to get back to work on my small adventure games. Here's a video where I added a rim lighting shader. Adds quite a bit of dynamism to just walking around a room. #gamedev #indiedev #adventuregame

Same but flipped. Played it on release and a couple years ago but always picked the Wits path because I like puzzles. Was thinking about playing again soon with the Team path.

Here's the interview if you're interested. It's where I learned about the existence of the comics. https://www.timeextension.com/features/interview-an-enormous-headache-the-amazing-story-behind-indiana-jones-and-the-fate-of-atlantis

Interesting. I read a recent interview with Hal Barwood (Fate co-designer) and he said he wrote them, but had issues with a Dark Horse artist who made changes he disagreed with.

2024-08-27 23:58:58

I didn't know they created a 4 issue "Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis" comic book run in 1991! Grabbed these on eBay for $15. I can't wait to read them.
