Master of the Universe?

Original concept by tyrannus:

Done at iPhone/DS resolution

building turnaround

Slapped this together for a class project. Probably going to be a syndicate style game for the iPhone. We'll see. Still need to unwrap and texture this beast. Then do like 10 more and 3 or 4 characters. Why do I keep saying yes to more projects again?

sort of done

I still haven't finished my animations, sound, or shooting effects. Still, most of the function is there. It's almost a straight conversion of the iPhone version, but the input is different and some of the numbers are a little different. Mostly because it was too easy on the computer.

The objective is to keep the blobs from destroying your base. Move your guys to defend a side of the base from attack.
Arrow keys move the camera, space bar shake attack, scroll wheel zoom.

Small version here.

Double stuffed here.

The Medium

Here's the medium unit. I've decided to post these on youtube too since I very rarely do anything with this blog. 364 tris, with a 256 map.

Part of what I've been doing

382 tris with a single 256 diffuse map
The costume is a nod to the Fear Agent uniform.

more of the same

Here's the character designs I'm working on for a turn based strategy game (like final fantasy tactics). I'm going for a light, medium, and heavy character.
I took out the interior lines to focus on the outlines. I also added some extra designs a little further down the chibi scale. Vote now!

A little character design

Just trying to pick the general outlines to use for 3 characters. I'm working on a little game in my copious "free time." Comments?

Our Game Jam entry

Don't call it a come back

Well I guess you can call it a come back since I haven't updated in forever. I'm going to try to post some of the art I did for the Wild Pockets game jam with brother a week or so back. It was good times and that art was way more interesting than the stuff I've been doing for work. I've also been doing some stuff for Scott, but I'm not sure how much of that is public yet so I'll just keep quiet about.

The main purpose of this post is to announce that I'm going to be documenting my attempt to rebuild a motorcycle. I recently purchased a pair of Honda CB125s (from 1974 and 1975). I got them on the cheap so if I screw it up or don't manage to get them going, it's no big loss.
I started trying to clean them up tonight and realized just want an enormous undertaking this is going to be. I've even started taking pictures so I can keep track of what part goes where. I'll probably end up transferring the "working" engine from one onto the other (which has a cleaner frame). I've got a preliminary list of parts, but I'm hoping I can salvage some more bits and repair others. My first task is to get both bikes cleaned and more or less disassembled. Then I'll get the working engine in place with as many good parts as I can muster. At that point I'll see what I need to replace. I know I need a battery, a bunch of cables, and way to get some gas into the engine while I test everything (the tanks are pretty rusty).
With the wedding coming up, it'll probably be awhile before I make much progress, but it sure is keen.
