48 Hour Game Comp

2011-10-31T18:36:00.001+08:00

Here's some concept and in game art that I did for our game "Badger to the Bone" at the 48 Hour Game Comp last month. It was fun.

These awesome dudes played our game for about a minute and appeared to be actually enjoying it. We failed to receive a 'peoples choice' vote from them (or anyone), however they can't be blamed.

It was at this point I gave up on finishing the game on time:

The main thing is .. I had a GOOD TIME.

Alas, and yet what are you, my written and painted thoughts! It is not long ago that you were still so many-coloured, young and malicious, so full of thorns and hidden spices you made me sneeze and laugh – and now? You have already taken off your novelty and some of you, I fear, are on the point of becoming truths: they already look so immortal, so pathetically righteous, so boring! And has it ever been otherwise? For what things do we write and paint, we mandarins with Chinese brushes, we immortalisers of things which let themselves be written, what alone are we capable of painting? Alas, only that which is about to wither and is beginning to lose its fragrance! Alas, only storms departing exhausted and feelings weary in flight who now let themselves be caught in the hand – in our hand! We immortalise that which cannot fly or live much longer, weary and mellow things alone! And it is only in your afternoon, my written and painted thoughts, for which alone I have the colours, many colours perhaps, many many coloured tendernesses and fifty yellows and browns and greens and reds: - but no one will divine from these how you looked in your morning, you sudden sparks and wonders of my solitude, you my old beloved – wicked thoughts.

No credit due to me here: I threw together this poster from Geordie and Zacs original, and added my uncle Jason's image to the background. But I really love it and wanted to show the internet. Going to be sticking these up around the streets this week.
