Day One!

So this is day one of my blog for our game.  I've actually never kept one of these but it sounded like a fun idea!  Thus I will be updating this a few times a week with all kinds of garble and fascinating information! 

The entire process so far has been surreal and both fun and full of problem solving already.  There have been a number of portfolios to review.  All of them have some good work, but no one has really blown me away yet.  One should always include the best work they have and just show they have a really good understanding of any medium they are demonstrating.  I'm going to have to update my own site one day hahah.  But I really do have high expectations from anyone I work with.

Testing so far hasn't seen many results just yet.  At the moment we are going towards a more sprite/pixel character type look.  Thus our test reflects the need for individuals who can do that.  Overall its still new and will be refined as time goes by.  I'm taking it myself right now to make sure I hold up right.  If that goes well, I may add more!

Style-wise the game is heading towards a sprite look.  We've talked about using 3D for this.  It isn't panning out however.  However some techniques for 3D may still be used as development continues forward.  Its just another tool in the arsenal that can be implemented where it is needed.

We'll see how this goes.  Things are moving along faster then originally expected!

As for today I will be working on several angles for a character.  After that I'll be working on a few models.  Should be a lot of fun.  Nothing all that much to more to say then that.

Lemme know if you've got questions.  Maybe I'll dedicate some time next post to answering them.  You can reach me at Ryacabral@gmail.com
