Number Munchers!

So here's basically what I've been puttering about with for the last two weeks or so. Number Munchers was an educational computer game that I played on the old Apple ][ in kindergarten (oh god, I feel old saying that...).

I was obsessed with this game as kid, and now, I've been playing around with a redesign, partially for kicks, partially to practice simple animation, and partially as a portfolio piece. Yes, I'm aware that there's some unnecessary feathering in "empty" boxes, I still need to clean it up for a final.

Google "Virtual Apple" if you want to play the original. It's easier if you enable the Java version. If you worked for MECC, let me know! Let me tell you personally how much this game made an impact on me!

Graphic Adventure Game?

I've been running a lot of ideas in my head these past few weeks, and this is an old one that needs to be re-examined. The concept is a graphic adventure game like the kind that were popular in the late 80's and early-to-mid 90's. I've been examining how I could make it work through HTML, but the logistics and time might be excruciating. My knowledge of Flash is also pretty weak comparatively.

But I felt like posting these characters as a way of keeping myself on point!

Website update, Video Game Concept, and Flash

I've updated my website (http://www.comicartiststeve.com/) it is a lot more cleaner and organized- go check it out!



I've decided to show off the cast list for a graphic adventure concept I've been developing for a while (or at least a a partial view of the cast!).



I show this off to announce that I've gotten my hands on a copy of Adobe CS4, which includes Flash. I've got some ideas of what I want to use it for, the above game concept included, but now I need to learn how to use it!



Not long ago, I finished reading The Belgariad and The Melorean series by David Eddings. Great books. My dad read them to me when I was a wee lad, and I've read them as an adult. If I have kids, I'll read these to them.
Anyway, I've thought about what a comic-book treatment would be of these books, and jotted some sketches down. I'm pleased with how Beldin came out (the one on the bottom of the left).

NEXT UPDATE:
"Ad Boy," a book of advertising mascots, came out recently, and I'm going to write a review. Keep your eyes peeled!

TTYL!
