VanCAF Wrap-up & Olympia Comic Fest This Weekend

June 2, 2015June 2, 2015admin

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!

The adventure continues! Read Nwain Page 39 and Page 40.

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!

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

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

January 29, 2015March 22, 2015admin

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.
