Game Jam: Remote Action

Participated in this year's Game Jam presented by both VGDC & PMC (Video Game Design Club & the Pencil Mileage Club) at CSUF. The event is basically a 3-day marathon to complete a game by the end of the weekend. The programmers program the game while the artists make the art. Go figure.

Our group's game was called Remote Action and takes place in the 80s. The characters are the Kid, the Hero, and Alien Robots. The Kid has a TV remote that can rewind, pause, and fast-forward time. The Hero (which I've labeled "Cop" on the production sheets) is a police officer who aids the Kid by killing off the Alien Robots (labeled "Robots"on production sheets). There is probably a lot more to the story, but that's up to the lead programmer of the project.

Here are my character designs and prop designs.

I also designed symbols for the interface, but didn't bother uploading it here because of the shear simplicity of the designs. I was told to design a splash page so I came up with this:

It was pretty fun. When the game is complete, I'll definitely drop a link.

Ominous Face Mouth Chart

Done with my mouth chart!

It took forever and it may not be perfect, but it's an experiment after all. Pretty excited!

Nail In A Box

First post of 2013!

Originally Nail was to be crammed in a glass box and sent into space, but it was too similar to another drawing I made of him last January. Since it was the holidays just last month, I turned the glass box into a gift box.

Way to present yourself, AM I RIGHT???

The Bomb Challenge

Went to the CSUF PMC event called The Bomb in which the goal is to make a bomb animation move across the page and not blow up during the 72-hour animation marathon... or something like that. I actually attempted it this year (and I've been going since 2009) so I can practice Illustrator and Flash.

Simple colors, although I might change it later.

Andddddd... a ridiculously simplistic motion tween. Need to learn how to animation individual components independently.

Nail: Production Model Sheets

Presented my turnaround like the production model sheets I've seen on the Dan Vs. servers.

Model sheets for my character Nail. Played around with Illustrator since I don't really know how to use it. Hurray for learning.
