I was really hoping that my next post would be about showing off more about our game.  Unfortunately, life got in the way a little bit and I wasn’t able to dedicate as much time as I’d hoped to working on our game.  Between a full time job, preparing for a wedding (coming up in September!), and just making sure we still have time to ourselves so we don’t overload, I didn’t progress as far as I had hoped. 

We have made good progress though, but sadly it’s not very visual. I’ve been working a lot on getting the game menu & multiplayer lobby functional,  polishing the character customization, making sure games restart properly, and finding & adding sound effects.  It might not sound like a lot, but for a first time team that does this in their spare time, I’m proud of what we’ve been able to do. The menus and such still have a lot of placeholder art, so I hesitate to throw out screen shots so we don’t give out the wrong impression of the end game quality.  If you are interested in seeing them, post here or on our twitter @TeamAndrecca and as long as you keep in mind it’s a WIP, we should be able to hook you up 🙂

It’s been awhile since I shared some art with you guys! I have some new doodles. Some game related, some just “sketches” I’ve done. It’s been a pretty busy couple weeks for me, but I’m still trying to focus on game art. I’ve been putting a lot of time into making a font for general use in the game, but that didn’t seem too exciting to share with you guys.

I’ve been looking at some more tutorials for different techniques. Most recently I looked at this tutorial for how to make pixel art clouds quickly. The clouds to the right were made following that tutorial, and sure enough, it really was quick.

Anyway, on to more art!
