The trip also included the most epic TIGRadio episode to date: a two hour discussion featuring about a dozen indie developers. (including Phil Fish, Farbs, Petri, Kyle Pulver etc)

You can find the conversation archived here. If I remember correctly, it starts off a bit slow but gets into some pretty interesting game design territory eventually!

I’m back in the ‘peg – and it’s nice to be home… but I miss everyone already.

Flags.

Monaco wins, Andy Schatz goes crazy

Talkin’ at the IGS

Better late than never – here’s a picture of a little ancient photo album we put together to help us show off the art of the game…

Also check out Chrissy’s sexy GDC photos on Flickr… they’ll be updated at least once every day!

And if you’re down in SF, consider checking out my talk with fellow indie compatriots Adam Saltsman and Andy Schatz at 2:15pm on Wednesday. It should (hopefully) be entertaining and informative.

This is the song that my sister Eileen and I wrote for Songs for the Cure – an indie fundraiser for cancer research. We recorded the piece at Private Ear Studios right here in Winnipeg. (behind the scenes)

Check out the rest of the music on the album, and if you like it – buy it! All the money goes to the American Cancer Society.

Recording a very short snippet of voice over for Marian… in our uber high tech recording studio. (Note the USB microphone, cardboard box and pantyhose stretched over a hanger…) We’re working on a trailer for our current prototype, which may or may not be seen publicly.

Big ups to Bog Logan for offering his time and his sultry tones.

(last week I said we’d talk about modelling, but that’ll be next week instead!)

We’ve been featuring Katie’s work a fair bit in the last while, but our other concept artist – Ashley Dumonchelle, has been doing a ton of great work at a very quick pace for the last few months. When we need to build a new reusable object into the game, the first step is having Ashley sketch out a number of interesting options. From there, we pick the ones we like and move on into modelling.

Ashley has a great eye for interesting shapes, in my humble opinion. The final art style of Marian may end up being an interesting fusion of Ashley’s shapes and Katie’s colours.

Next week we’ll take a little peak at how some of these models get made and what they look like in the game…

This above shot is of peaceful beginnings, before the chaos and horror that ensues from the inevitable temptations of C4Ke….

The ZIP file includes both the Mac and Windows versions.

Can you guess which one was mine and which ones were Katies’?

Songs for the Cure is a caner fundraising initiative organized by Josh Whelchel. (the composer behind BoneSaw, and The Spirt Engine games) SftC is a compilation of new tracks from a wide variety of game-related composers. Last year’s CD felt like an explosion of untamed creativity.

This year’s disc is likely to be an even more varied compilation. For information about how to receive a copy of the CD, visit http://CancerDrive.org.

Big Thank You’s go out to James and Lisanne for taking time out of their busy schedule to help us promote the CD and to Neil Cameron of Private Ear for graciously donating time in his studio. (highly recommended!)

Happy Valentine’s Day.

Marian’s new character model is coming together in a big way – looking way better than she did in our first teaser trailer with the new modeling, textures and everything else.
