Three and a half hours in and I now have the art for a walking animation and am writing my first post. And I have made the foolish decision to try and draw it all by hand.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\"dude_walk01\"<\/p>\n

\"dude_walk02\"<\/p>\n

This is going to look terrible animated as my drawing is far to inconsistent. Things change size drastically from image to image. And I realise now that I didn’t finish his pack on the last frame in the first image.<\/p>\n

As a not-very-good artist it also takes me far to long to draw things. However, since my idea is adapted from the idea I had for Isolation (a theme I suggested) it thankfully won’t involve any other entities. Though I would like to add more animations for this character. Sadly my idea is probably to large in scope for Ludum Dare. It will likely turn into something I’ll work on after Ludum Dare 16 is over.<\/p>\n

Anyways, now on to cleaning up these drawings into somethign I can actually and making a game with them. I figure I’ll be using C++ with SDL.<\/p>","time":"December 11th, 2009 10:41 pm","title":"This is why I will not finish"}
