Orcs Must Die! Choose Your Own Adventure Video
Robot Entertainment has released a unique interactive gameplay video featuring their upcoming PC and Xbox LIVE Arcade game, Orcs Must Die!™ We know that many of our most devoted community members here at the site didn’t get to make it by our booths during any of the summer conventions, so we devised a demo video that is the next best thing to playing the game! The video allows viewers to choose traps between successive waves of enemies with each choice changing the final outcome. The 30 possible avenues for completing the demo highlight the enormous variety of methods to kill orcs and defend your towers. Check out the demo below:
You can check out the full blog post explaining the video and the production behind it at Robot Entertainment.
It’s Dusty in Here, but I Promise I’ll Clean Up
Man, I haven’t seen this image in a long time, and I bet you haven’t either. I’ve decided to pick this little short back up in the very near future, and finish it a year from now. I’m verbalizing (writing) my goals down for everyone to see so that I’ll actually do them. And if I don’t, then… well, you can all throw internet tomatoes at me and call me a giant douche. Or something equally offensive. So I will finish this in a year and post my progression along the way (when I actually start after I finish a couple of other little shorts I’m working on.) It’s a promise. Scout’s honor and all that.
I know like maybe two people read this blog, myself included, but setting a goal and having others see is scary. So, I just better do it then.
bouncing “ball”
I always seem to re-animate the bouncing ball over and over again. Maybe I like punishment, and pain. So, I did this over a couple of lunches. But, the real reason why I did this animation, is because a friend of mine works at a company that is currently looking to hire 2d animators. Part of the animation test was a bouncing ball character with a scarf. He said I should do it just for fun. So I did. And fun was had!
