Did you notice?

December 21st, 2009 IRA

When I was drawing the first frame of Meet Sheep Man, I was thinking on some scene from the Mega Man X3 opening.

I couldn’t resist so today I checked out how close I got to the real thing. Here are the results.

I kind of nailed X’s stance, but Zero is way far on the right. Honestly I don’t think I’d have used that. Also in the game the image is flipped horizontally. Probably I could have done a better work by actually watching the scene while drawing, but as sudden as the whole idea was at the moment, I thought I already achieved the dramatic feeling with the ‘zomg extreme’ armors and seriousness, so I just went on with the rest of the strip.

BTW, The Mega Man Network found my comic. Neat!

Progress so far

September 16th, 2009 IRA

Although I’m very satisfied with the progress so far with Bass Abyss, I’m still unable to release a new version. I’m getting closer, but fixing the code has been too entertaining. It’s an endless feedback cycle. The ideas I get in my job get applied in the game, and the ideas I get from the game just happen to solve some problem in my job.

The milestone version 1.0 should be something special, and not just another maintenance update. I’ve done some major revamps in many sections, stuff to be really proud of. But after a few days the hype is over and it just doesn’t look like it was such a big deal, even less worth an update. Probably it was, but I’m too used to not look back and be already very concerned with the new stuff I’m doing.

The only pressure I have when I stop to think of it is “well, maybe this is taking too long”.

September is almost over. I really want to have something for October, even if it is an unexciting maintenance update. To achieve that I guess I’ll have to come to terms with the high bars I’ve been setting.

Oh well. I just took a little break to write something. In the mean time, have a cute short hair Balandra sketch.
