Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

Hi. Thank you for the well wishes. I am currently working on a 6 frame walking animation. Its taking a while. Rear leg movements are fine, but it is forward leg that is causing me problems, as it is just not looking right. Its possible I may go back to the drawing board on the walking animation. Work is slow, but please understand that I'm only one person with a limit to human endurance and free time.

As for the Lone Survivor comment. I bought it and thought that it was a good game. I liked the simplicity of that game's design from a single person game design standpoint. Side-scrolling is easier than isometric or 3D.

But I'm not interested in cloning that great work, or any other work. My interest isn't even in game-making in the abstract. I like the idea of games as interactive story-telling mediums. I like the idea of telling a story to a player where the player's actions change the story and writing the ending based on their beliefs and choices. To this end, my script .doc is constantly expanding with branching triggers.

If I could make games without teaching myself art, programming, or music; i would abandon paint.net, flashdevelop, and fruity loops and use that magical method instead. Unfortunately neural interfaces are not here yet, so what dreamers like me have left are hard work and determination.

I'll try to update regularly, and post some images, but probably not today,

I don't mind. Technically speaking, yes. On a professional level where things are accomplished in a reasonable period of time, no.

Hi everyone. After several test projects, I decided to embark on slowly making a game. I'm not a professional of any sort in either art, programming or music; but I do believe in hard work, perseverance, and the utility of the internet. After spending several sleepless nights on some things, I wanted to show something to the internet. Please let me know what you think.

Further information is also available on the submitted image in my profile.

It is a painfully small thing, and to more accomplished artists probably trivial, but posting it up here helps keep me motivated and preventing me from shelving the project, as it is one I have a lot of enthusiasm for.

Thanks.
