SPEAK PRRIEST!

Hey. Have any of you guys accidentally touched your dick after you've chopped a chili fruit? That's kinda what it feels like when you apply anti scabies cream down there. Only worse.

So, the doctor finally agreed with me and confirmed that I most likely have scabies. So I went and bought a bottle of Tenutex, which is the shit you use to get rid of them. You have to apply it to your entire body, neck down, and let it be for at least 24 hours.
The first hour or so wasn't a pleasant experience. But hopefully, this will solve everything and I'll be back at 100%! Feels like I've been working at maybe 20% of my regular potential the last few weeks, which totally sucks in every way.

But anyway! No Grindea stuff today. I have done a few animations, but it's mostly idle, walking animation and shit like that. Nothing super exciting. I am working on some heavier stuff, but I got caught up in The Binding of Isaac. It's a pretty cool game actually, you should check it out!

I don't want to leave you guys totally empty handed though, so here you go:



That's me. Such a bad ass.

Now, I'm gonna sleep! See ya fags!

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

Sorry about the lack of updates.

My rashes and shit is getting pretty serious. Gonna head back to the doctor next week and hopefully he will hook me up with some skin specialist.
I though I was allergic to something in my apartment, my main suspect being the cat. So I went home to stay with my parents for a week, but it hasn't gotten any better. More like the opposite.

My initial thought was that I had scabies, but my doctor didn't think so. But apparently, after massive amounts of googling my symptoms the last few weeks, I've found out that regular doctors suck at spotting scabies due to it not being super common. More often than not people have been sent home 3-4 times before someone finally spots it. So yeah, I don't know. I can't think of anything else really that could've caused it. I've tried taking stuff out of my diet, but to no avail.
Hopefully I'll have some good news next week when I've been to the doctor. Shit is fucking killing me. Like I said before, this is the worst thing I've ever experienced.

Anyway. Been doing some work. Been doing a few new character sprites for what you probably could class as the first boss of the game. Exciting stuff!
Been doing a few animations for one of the dudes. Here is the super smooth attack animation!



So basically he is supposed to look like a badass, but being a worthless fighter. Hopefully this animation succeeds with that.

Now, I'm gonna try get some sleep. Which, I probably won't. Fuck my life. Bye.

Enemy Showcase: Mr Flower!

So, here's a quick video of me talking about the flower enemy I've been working on the last few weeks. Sorry about the crappy sound, mumbling and shaky english!



Quality is so-so, I'm gonna try recording with fraps next time I go ingame!

In other Grindea related news, things are moving along smoothly. We've got the inventory part of the menu up and running, and it's looking pretty niffty so far! We've moved on to the equipment section now where we hit some design issues regarding skills and weapon sets. Hopefully will sort that out tomorrow when we're back at the office. And by office, I mean a random room in the library. The glorious life of the indie game developers, aw yeeea!

So yeah, next video will probably be me showing of the menu or whatever, when we got some more work done on it. Until then, stay black!

Reachin' 5000, awyeeea!

Just a quick post!

The other day my blog reached 5000 views! It's been up and running for about one and a half years now, going steady with a few hundred views every month.
Might not be all that much, but I've never been that good at selling my self and showing my work off before I started this blog. So while it might not be millions of views like other major blogs and artists have, I'm still happy about it!

Also, thanks to all the guys who's been following me and my blog! I'll keep posting my shit as always, and hopefully you will keep dropping by and checking it out!

Thanks again, peace out mothefuuuukaaas!

FML :DDDDDDD

Been sidelined with some health issues, that's why there haven't been any regular updates lately.

I've had this crazy rash that has to be the worst thing I've ever (for real) experienced.
Imagine having your entire body, itch like a motherfucker. 24/7. You can't focus on ANYTHING. Sleeping is the worst part. If you even manage to fall asleep in the first place, you're gonna wake up in a few hours, not being able to fall asleep again. So I've had to power nap my way through the last few days, sleeping 1-2 hours in session spread out over the entire day/night.

Anyway, been to the doctor 2 times the last 2 weeks or something and I've got some medication that's helped out pretty good. The rash is still there, but its manageable. Hopefully it will be disappear within the next few days.
According to mr Doctor I've had some kind of allergic reaction to something, but he couldn't tell what. Hopefully it's not the cat. I did an allegri test a few months ago, but it came back negative. So yeah.

Anywaaay. I've been able to do some work at least. Today was the first day in forever where I could actually keep my focus up the entire day, so it felt super good.



Just one more animation for this guy and he will be all done! Teddy has implanted what we have so far in the game and it looks pretty sweet! I'll show you guys when it's all done!

Besides that, we've been focusing pretty heavily on our menu design the last few days. We really need to have a super slick and well organized menu, since our game is pretty much all about finding gear and items. We don't want to have players navigating through a million of side menus and shit, but at the same time it has to be fairly complicated to be able to store all the stuff we have planned. So it's kinda tricky.

We have made some good progress though, and Vilya have created a pretty sweet base that I thinks gonna work out good. I'm psyched to see it actually working in game! I'll keep you guys posted on that as well, throwing up some videos as soon as we have something to show!

Anyway. Time to sleep. A new day at the office tomorrow! Byeee fags!

Hey!

Been kinda missing out on updates the last few days because a friend from home dropped by for a visit for a couple of days! That doesn't mean I haven't been working though. We've started working in school with set hours to be more productive and able to talk about design face to face. We've more or less managed to set up a basic outline for the entire game, with dungeons and all areas you're going to visit. Of course there's still a lot of stuff to be decided upon and stuff can always change, but feels really good to have a better view of what exactly we have to do!

So, here's the finished animation of the sketch a posted last time. Done some changes to it, which always happens, and all in all I think it turned out pretty sweet.



Gonna be keep up with the videos next time I start on a new animation. Now, I'm gonna take a shower and get some sleep! School starts tomorrow, I'm pretty pumped! ByeeEEE!
