VanCAF Wrap-up & Olympia Comic Fest This Weekend

VanCAF – the Vancouver Comic Arts Festival – was great!  People were so intrigued by my animated comic, that I ran out of Nwain business cards!*  Also, I met up with fellow artists, some of whom I’ve been mutually following for years.  The festival staff and volunteers were extremely welcoming and supportive.  Overall a great experience!

 

Next up is Olympia Comics Fest!  I’ll be at the Cartoonists’ Expo, sharing a table with Joamette Gil and Zoey Hogan.

When: Saturday, June 6th, from 1:30pm to 6:30pm

Where: The Olympia Center

Admission:  FREE!

*I have since ordered many, many more.

Nwain: The Knight Who Wandered Dream is my animated webcomic.  I write the story, design the visuals, develop the tech, and animate every panel.  It’s an enormous undertaking, especially for one person to tackle alone.  Thankfully, I have support from fans and patrons!

Nwain on Patreon
I
 recently added new reward tiers to the patreon, at the $10, $20, and $50 levels.

Slidewinder Now On Kickstarter

The Slidewinder is now on kickstarter!  It’s been a blast working on this project.  I’ve listened as it took off from the very first prototype to the blossoming phenomenon it is today.  I can’t wait to hear what the future has in store!

Spirit Siege: UI Wireframes

Spirit Siege is a card-collecting real-time strategy game for mobile.  Players collect cards, build decks, and battle other players in real time.

Deck Builder allows the user to move cards into & out of their deck; name, save or delete the deck; and swap the active deck.

PreMatch allows the user to pick the type of opponent they wish to battle, and which deck they wish to use.   Players may start a match from this screen.

Matchmaking Screen informs the player of the connection status to the other player, and allows the option to immediately play versus A.I.

Paper Prototype is a form of rapid development that allows for quick iteration.  I get out the craft supplies and build a test of my initial design ideas. Then I grab someone to playtest the prototype with me.  This is a fast process that helps find missing elements and broken paths–improving the design without wasting coders’ time.

Wireframes are cleaned-up versions of the successful prototypes.  The wireframes get handed off to artists and developers.
