Been A While

in Sketchbook2 years ago

Hello Hive. It has been a while since I actually posted anything. Mostly because I stopped playing Splinterlands. Still love the game and wish it all the success in the world, just decided it was time to move on.

Figured I would do a little blog about what I'm doing now. A lot of life things have kept me busy but I'm back to a bit of a routine so trying to get on track for some personal projects. I used to post these things on other accounts that I had made specifically for their purposes but have decided it is not worth trying to maintain all of my accounts anymore. Which is kind of sad because I made some good contacts on those other accounts. I don't want to @ anyone and it has been so long they may not remember anyway.

I have two projects that my A.D.D. has me bouncing between at the moment. One is a fantasy world that I have been developing for over a decade. The other is a space themed game universe.

If anyone kept up with @mimerr or @chibititan in the past, that was me and my attempt to start a game studio. I was mostly working on a game called Titan Climber and it was a little too ambitious in the end. However, the characters and world in that game are actually just a small part of the fantasy world mentioned above and may show up in the next project.

My next attempt at making a product for this world will hopefully prove more viable. It will be a 2D hand drawn action platformer. I plan to do more blogs in the future about the progress, though it is kind of sad the Game Dev community seems to have been abandoned. I may still post them there anyway. Unless anyone has any suggestions for other communities?

Here is a bit of art I did in Krita a while back for this game. A character named Wu Gnar is part of the Houkong. They are Therians that borrow a lot of their lore from the Sun Wu Kong mythology. I'll leave it at that for now but like the Titan Climber game, this is a very small part of the hundreds of pages of lore I have set aside for this world.

The game itself is something I've wanted to make for a long time. I'm still working out some of the designs and mechanics but have broken it down into a small manageable goal that can be expanded into a much larger and more ambitious project should things pan out well.

Currently working on some basic animations. Hope to share some progress soon.

welcome back @pewsoplosion, how was your hiatus, Wu Gnar looks like the Monkey king, lol, maybe because he is holding on to a stick and as a lot of hair i guess. welldone

He and his faction in the game are based around the Monkey King, Sun Wu Kong. The glowy rings on his staff come from the Monkey King's original staff, or so he says. 😆 The adapted lore is that Wu Kong set off into the uncharted lands and the rest of the Houkong have adventured down the mountain in an attempt to follow him.

yeah , i knew, he looks like a very funny character, ...uuuh, this story sounds good, cant wait to see the final release

Can't wait to see more progress to this game your doing sir, I will play this game for sure 😊,
Good Luck
God Bless.

Thanks! Hopefully I can stick with it this time.
