AT LAST!!!

I haven't been able to post anything recently because of this damn 'bx-' error message kept coming up. Anyway! It's now sorted!

So I finished my learning agreement, work timetable and game treatment.

Learning agreement -

I haven't said anything about this up till now because I wasn't really that sure what I was aloud to get away with, but sinse it's been handed in now I guess it wont matter.

So, in a nutshell, I'll be looking at emotions, expressions, movement and characteristics of people and animals. So I'll be searching the net for gif.s, buy some Dvds and so on. Should be fun ^_^

I'm also going to look into getting 'After Effects' and 'Movie Storm', both programs are used for video editing don't you know.

As for artistic study - I was thinking of looking into abstract comic art like Jamie Smart's 'Ubu bubu'

and Jhonen Vasquez's 'Johnny the Homicidal Maniac'.

I think art like that has something to offer to the gaming world. It certainly hasn't been looked at before... and there might be a reason for that but never mind! I'm going to take a shot at it!

My game idea is pretty strung together at the moment... To be honnest I never really thought of it until university said 'YOU MUST HAVE THIS DONE!!!' Originally I wasn't going to focus on a game and just do work where I wanted to advance. But then I spose the work needs to have an idea behind it... other wise they can't really mark me for anything.

So anyway! The game is pretty standard concept. A cartoony action adventure, collecting items, solving puzzles... this sounds somewhat familiar. I'm hoping to set it in a demonic world and set the story around their everyday life... or death... or whatever they are. I'll post more about the story later in the term. Part of this game idea spawned from one of my mates who last year, did a game based around Lucifer.

I've already got a few concepts in mind. I'm just yet to sketch them in my art study style.

A bit of good news - I recently got myself and brand new PC!!!! And it is SUCH a godsend! I can actually draw in photoshop without lag! And I can watch videos without lag!! AND! (this is the best part) I CAN ACTUALLY SURF THE WEB!! I mean how awesome is that!! I'm looking forward to having a bash at 3D with no lag! It's going to be awesome!!
