Board or Digital?

These days everything gamewise is going digital. Do we really want another digital game or do we want a game where we can sit down and stab our friends in the back just when they think they are about to win?

So what would you rather do?

Tell us so we can help make this come true!!

League of Legends meets Munchkin in an all new game!

Have you ever sat down with your friends and wondered what you should do? You wanted a new game that would challenge you to find out who your real friends are? Then the game for you is under construction! My team of minions and my co-leader Austin are making a League of Legends Munchkin game. We have Just under two weeks to get a working prototype done. Join us for the ride?

Our game has to meet requirements like having an educational theme, a selected audience we want to solicit as well as figuring out our mechanics.

Educational themes: Magic, Interpersonal skills, Science, War (who really needs an educational theme when you can have the magiks??)
Mechanics: Strategy, RP, Board, Card and possibly Computer.
Audience Target: Everyone who likes our game :)

Questions we asked within our group:

  • Do we want to do a board game? Card game? Computer game?
  • Simple or a little more complex?
  • Could anyone be able to understand the game mechanics?
  • Do we want dice?
  • Do we want to make our own graphics?
  • Should we have altered stats?
  • Do we really want this game to be complicated?
  • Do we want to do a mash up of two games?
  • Are we going to have new rules?
Things we thought of while Brainstorming:

  • League of Legends
  • Munchkin
  • Pokemon
  • Magic
  • Sorry
  • Myst
  • Apple to Apples
  • Cards Against Humanity
  • Bacon
  • Food
  • Mountain Dew
  • Happiness
  • Art
  • Trying not to strangle the others in the group...
There will be a 30 second video pitch by the 30th.

Bully 101 Becomes Done and "Did You Know?"

I will warn you now, this is a comic that contains fake letters as well as actual letters, with words that are not pg-13, written to one of my friends. They let me use the letters they have saved for years. After I use them my friend has said that they no longer will reread these letters nor will they care about them. I am happy to announce that because I have been helping my friend get through the harsh bullying for years.
But everything can be found in the links below!! :)

I will warn you now, this is a comic that contains fake letters as well as actual letters, with words that are not pg-13, written to one of my friends.

Bully 101: Comic book pics on photoshop



Well, its time for photos to be put into Photoshop and given the comic book look. There are so many different way to put comic book effects onto pictures, I've done two trials so far and they look okay. I'm doing two more today at least. Here are the two that have been done.
Choice 1:DSC_1981.jpg
Choice 2:

Bully 101: The makings of a comic

Switching gears from games to comic making for a week or two. My teacher has a competition going on for a trip to get a tour of Seven2 and Cyan game studios. I really like both of these game companies and that is why I am switching gears! 6 of the 8 pages have been story boarded in the day we have been able to work on it. When I say we I mean the team of my amazing school mates that are putting up with me and my stubbornness with perfection. They are my amazing actors because I wanted to go out of the bounds of just regular comic book drawing. I am photographing every picture for every panel then running them through Photoshop and giving them the "comic book treatment"

For those who don't know Seven2 did Kung Fu Panda and Voltron Force. Cyan did MYST and RIVEN and they are currently working on ODBUCTION. The day is going to be so amazing for all of those who get to go. Hope I win in my category so I get to go!!

Clepta Magus: Week 3 work

Its been such a nerve-racking week. Over the course of the week I've reached out to Ncsoft, Blizzard and Bethesda. Which I highly doubt I will hear from them. but never the less I have figured out what I'm going to do for the character creation system. Take a look.

Clepta Magus: Work for week 1

Minimaps, achievs, and sound options?! I think yes.

You know when you have those crazy ideas but no idea how to start them? That's where I'm at right now. So I started with the most logical thing, working backwards right? Ha ha, for me? Yes that's the most logical thing. Of course. So I started working on it and I got about 9,000 lines of code done. Its not that much but its a start. See? :)

Week 1 : Clepta Magus

 Clepta Magus isn't a fancy knock off of any game, no part of this game is made in any engine (yet) and its a completely new concept to my knowledge. Working on this game is going to be an adventure. You as a reader and hopefully a player, will hopefully enjoy this and all the endeavors this game takes me on. I will share bits and pieces of everything I do along the way.
 It will be exciting and different. Nothing you will have every experienced before :)
