Slightly Different

If you’ve been here before, you might’ve noticed the site looks a wee bit different. I figured from the start I’d end up redesigning it once 1)I had some artwork to incorporate and 2)I felt enough like I’d found my focus to come up with something suitable.

To be honest, when I first restructured my site, I wasn’t completely sure what I was going to do with it. I knew I wanted to try a webcomic, probably try animation, write some articles and try my hand at game design. Then, as time went on, I started getting a better idea of what I actually like doing and the best way to arrange things here. So, now, it’s basically an all-purpose blog with an emphasis on my webcomic and my game projects. Articles are categorized as such on the Topics page and, for the sake of my guilt complex, don’t have any schedule now. (That’s the good thing about not having tons of visitors: you can change stuff on a whim without being bludgeoned to death by hordes of angry fans. ;p)

Anyway, I hope you like the new look as well as the upgraded organization. Who knows? Having a cleaner workspace might even make me more productive. Or not. :p


Dreaming You #8: Trust Me


Friday Feature: You kinda have to see it.


A rather unusual death scene from Resident Evil 4. Selected because I’m very, VERY easily amused.


My First Game

Like the title says, I made my first game. It’s called The Choice; I made it in Twine, a sort of “Build-your-own online text adventure type” thing. It’s a very nice tool for folks like me who have plenty of story ideas, but zero game development experience, so I figured I’d start off with that before really tackling something more involved. (You can find a nice beginner’s tutorial from Auntie Pixelante Here.)

The subject matter might be kind of unexpected. But the way I figure it, what’s the point of hurting if you can’t use what you’ve been through to help someone else?

Life.

The next comic will be posted next week. I’ll also be putting up *GASP!* my very first game, which I made in Twine. Long story short, life happens sometimes. And I hope you’ll think what I come up with is worth the wait.


Quick Note: Game Name Change

It turns out there’s already a game called Maia out there, and since I’d rather not create confusion, I figured I’d change the name of my project. Besides, in all likelihood, mine *won’t* be as impressive. :p


Dreaming You #7: Figments and Wraiths


Friday Feature: Super Smash


This week’s Feature is just very, VERY cool and a near-guaranteed treat for gamers of all stripes. I’m a sucker for well-done Flash animation; this is some of the coolest I’ve seen. I also love unique art styles, and this has that all over.

I have no idea why the whole planet hasn’t seen this yet. Because they SHOULD. :p


Dreaming You #6: What Are Friends For?


So, yeah, the *usual* updates. ^^;

Sorry things have been so off schedule this week. I’ve had a lot of things on my mind. (Yes, besides reorganizing the site and a certain new game I got recently. :p) The new comic will go up sometime Thursday evening. The Friday Feature will be posted on Friday like always. And the new article goes up Saturday. After that, hopefully, things will return to normal. Thanks for your patience.
