Global Game Jam 2013

Marking my second participation in a “Game Jam” session, Empty Jar Productions collaborated with Products for Robots to create the 2D Action-RPG, Geometry Saga.  It won best game going on to compete in Mozilla’s Game On Competition.

Geometry Saga is an episodic series chronicling two warring factions: Vibrance the color nation of  heart and Pale the monochrome nation of logic. In the first session, “War of Heart” the Pale nation seeks to overtake Vibrance and seize the power source known as “The Heart”

The gameplay featured in the trailer gives a peek at one of the playable “Vibrance” characters. As development continues, I’ll be providing sprite animation for even more!

Nearing the finish-line my little side project.  All that’s left are little effects here and there.

Background Development

Where is the exit?!!

I started experimenting with a scrolling background. I imagine the end product to be a forest scene with light beaming down on the character through some trees. Right now, I’ve just got some “guide blocks”in place.

The more I look at this, the more it kind of looks like he’s walking down a wallpapered hallway (with an narrow, open door).

A new year for new animation.

flip_walk_cycle

To kick the new year off right, I’ve got some fresh squeezed animation.

I first created this character in college, but wasn’t terribly satisfied with his walk cycle at the time.  I decided give it another go, but to make things more interesting, (and for my own amusement hehe) I went the pixel route.

There’s a little more I want to do with it, but this is the gist.
