admin — Sun, 11 Sep 2011 20:42:40 +0000

I am still working on art for Zeta Centauri Games. The creature tiles are 128 pixels and 32 pixels each. I know the lead programmer is doing some work on mobile games. Could we see a MUD coming to a smart phone near you?

My Basternae graphics have been implemented in the latest version of the Basternae Client. Basternae is a fun, old-school combination of classic rpg video games and MUDs (Multi-User Dungeons).

You can get the latest iteration of the client at this link.

Attended Arcaen Playtest

admin — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 21:49:41 +0000

I attended a new play test for the role-playing game Arcaen last night. It has a robust tactical system. You may have noticed a lot of new sketches from the game in my sketchbook.

Arcaen can be summed up in four words, “Iron Age Survival Horror”. No Elves, Dwarves, or other Tolkein cliches here.

I talked to game designers Jim Meeker and Mike Robinson about the art design. I can’t wait to develop the look of the game, especially since I personally think horror has been misrepresented in game art. Rest assured, I don’t consider pigtailed, teeny-bopper vampires in striped stockings to be scary.
