Fun with animation packages

Last night I finally got around to fixing a small mistake and doing a little editing on my alfabeto.jpg. It can be seen on my other blog http://komencanto.blogspot.com or at leganto.org.

I also was thinking about checking out a different drawing package... like adobe illustrator or synfig. Then I figured out how to do what I wanted with inkscape, flash, and pencil. I think I will check out the others eventually anyway. It seems like each package has some cool stuff they can do that the others don't.....or at least a twist on how it works.

after flu

I am recovering nicely from the flu. Or whatever it was that was killing me. So I am looking forward to getting more work done soon. As always, it is a challenge to find time to work on projects like this.

Tonight, I will make much progress for Kosmosxipo.

Semajnfino update

I was sick all weekend. So construction work was suspended. I learned many things about Flash and using my wacom tablet.

I have had the tablet for a while now, and I have just now begun to learn to use it. Shame on me. It was difficult getting used to it at first. My hand ached the first day while I was learning where to position the tablet and how to hold the pen properly. But I am beginning to love it.

There are some things I still would rather use the mouse for, but I am learning the strengths of the pen and tablet. My preliminary drawings have improved greatly over the weekend.

I worked on more graphics today.

I will be posting some of the preliminary artwork. Final decision on artstyle hasn't been made as of yet. I am sure this will evolve quite a bit.

demo

I vow to not be afraid of failure.

I will not agonize over every detail and attempt to make everything perfect the first go around.

I give myself permission to screw up. I can always fix it later.

The important thing right now is to get the ideas out of my head and out into the real world so I can fiddle with them.

Just get the demo out!

The fire is lit. I have been gathering my resources and tools. I think I am gonna do my demos in Actionscript 3 and Game Maker. Once I have the demos...I can start making more permanent choices.

There is much to learn and much to do. I find that my biggest problem is time famine. Also...I would really like to have a mac computer for compatibility programming and test.

Step one will be re-prioritizing things. Game Dev will be moving up to the top of the projects list.

I feel that I can accomplish a great many things given the time.

Kun espero.
