\"Playing<\/a>
Playing with Fire<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I have already drawn several other little characters for some of my game concepts, unfortunately I’ve taken my sweet time getting them posted online. In part I’ll blame it on just being busy at the end of the semester and my trip to Iowa to see my little sister graduate from high-school.<\/p>\n

In the mean time, I’ve been playing a great deal with Lineform<\/a>, Pixelmator<\/a>, and my Wacom Bamboo tablet<\/a>. I continue to use Scribbles<\/a> a bit, but for what I’m attempting to do, it just doesn’t seem to do the trick. I really like being able to use a vector graphics program to do my line art and then color. Scribbles does not allow me to import an image, so I cannot color something in created in another application. Now, this isn’t spectacular stuff that I’m creating. It is just my attempt as someone with no training to try and get some of my ideas and the visions in my head into my computer such that I can begin using them to prototype game mechanic prototypes. The first set of little images are fire and water characters.<\/p>\n

I am currently enamoured with simple 2D games as they can seemingly be more compelling to a wide range of audiences. They also seem to express more clearly some of the design mechanics one is attempting to express in a given game. More images shortly as they come along.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
