Depersion + ADHD = This sucks!!!

Grah I hate depersion! Not only do I freakin feel like crap I can't even work on what I want. Plus ADHD makes it to where I get a idea and it won't go away! Bad ideas or crazy ones just stay and I can't stop questioning them. UGH!!!

Sorry once again for nothing new. I'll do what I can for tomorrow.

Tatty bye.

Meh.

Sorry. Not much to say tonight. I'm tired and I can't think. Anyway I did talk to Ian and Adam about some concepts and I also got my books today so yeah I'll be designing some weapons.

Odd thing. I can barely draw. Never have been too good at it. But I can Draw Swords and such decently. So a few weapons are going to be drawn by me.

Anyway Tatty Bye.

Set backs set backs.

Well we lost another member. But I'm still hopeful. Anyway I'm heading to the library to get some books tomorrow and I'll be coming up with some new armors and such.

I'll try to get more info up tomorrow if I can.

Till then Tatty Bye.

Hmm

Well I honestly think that Unity will be a decent way to go. Anyway Not much to say tonight. I did write down the basic plot and summary for the dimensions. But they are still a WIP. I only made the outline of them but it'll be great in the long run.

I'm going to start on a moc up today for a world area. after I get it done I'll send it off to our Concept artist.

Well I'm out of thoughts at the mo so Tatty Bye.

A coder! Here?! I'd like to hope so!!!

Well Yesterday a very cool thing happened. Someone saw my thread on Spriters Resource about recruitment. And the best part is it be a coder!!! He is Kenneth "Frozenwolf" Sommer  only one thing that was sad about it was that he has only ever used the Unity Engine. I was wanting to use The UDK but I got to say Unity looks fine. So I'm giving it a chance. If it won't work then maybe there is a way to port to UDK. I have no idea but we will figure it out. I meant With Ken joining us we truly have the very foundation of a game dev team. Concept artist, Renderers, Writers, and Programers. We are on our way!! Small, Slow and steady. We are getting to the dream!!!

Not much else to realy say.

Till tomorrow Tatty Bye!

Who be dis?

Welp here is the main character. Yes he is me as well a 14 year old.

And guess who will voice him? Me. Now you may be asking "How can a 23 year old play a 14 year old?" Well I have a voice that is higher than youd think for a male my age. I think its due in part to my height. I am only four foot eight and one half inches tall. I would say I am a true LP. I also take more after my maternal side than my paternal side so I favor my mother a lot. Odd but hey at least I can give a voice that sounds acurate and be of correct gender for the role. I find nothing wrong with a woman playing a ten year old such as Tera Strong or E.G. Daily. But under no case should a 17 year old sound like that! I'm lookin at you four kids Luffy!!!!!

Anyway I think my books will be in by Tuesday so expect a few color concepts by then. 

Till tomorrow Tatty Bye.

Hmm

Well not much to say. I'm still thinking of how Andros should look. Not sure. Anyway heres the concept art train again.

Captain Tera "Iron" Epsilon (Yes he is a guy. his first name won't be said but once.)

 Nort

Tandos

These are characters for the Game Zone Dimension. Guess what one is the bad guy. I'll be coloring them after I get a few copies made in a few days. One thing I'm worried about is this is the only angle I have of them so rendering them may be a hassle for Win to render. Well I guess thats a bridge I'll have to cross this weekend (Or next week.). Any way these were all drawn by our first concept artist and my good friend Ian.

Tomorrow I'll be showing concept art of our hero. Who just so happens to have my first name. ... Don't judge me like that.

Well once again Tatty bye.

As promised

Well here we go I'm posting my character I drew. Don't laugh.

This is Stephan. His name is pronounced the way it's written. So its not another way of pronouncing Steven. I know its used that way in many parts of the world but not here. Like many characters in my works he is based off a friend I had growing.

I have sent him off to our character modeler Win Zaw Chit to start on as well as a few other characters Chibikn1ght did for me. I can't wait to see them in 3D. I hope Win has a easy time turning my art style into 3D I mean its not the best and Also I can't do side views to save my life.

Anyway I still need to get a few things printed. The libray's printer was down today and I forgot to bring the right folder. (Stupid TransFormers Folders! Look so much a like.) So as soon as my books arive I'll be getting those things.

Thats about all I got tonight. Tatty Bye!

Also we have a new member. Erik "E-Man" Riebling (Hope I spelled it right my friend.)

Not much to say other than I'm sorry that I have no news.

I'm going tomorrow for sure to my library so I'll be able to get a few things done then. I'm also going to get some books on weapon designs such as swords and other melee weapons. Maybe a few art stuff too. I'll let ya know tomorrow.

Or is it today? Anyway another bit of info I'll be able to send some characters off to our 3D artists by the end of the week so we will soon have character models on the way. And as soon as Adam gets the parts he is working on done we can also have some enviorments going in too. A small on to be true but this was the first one I came up with so yeah.

Sorry for the shortness. I'm just a bit depressed and I'm betting a few of my friends are starting to worry about me since my last post and a few things I posted on SJ. I'll fix it soon.

Trendys.

Let me say this will be the only rant I do so if you don't want to read it please skip to the next paragraph. (Or closest facsimile there of) Anyway I'm getting sick of the clicks that seem to be popping up everywhere. For example and this is freakin' net wide BRONIES!!!! I understand you may like them I like Thomas the Tank Engine. But You don't see me shoving it down everyones throat!!! My next example are Trendy spriters on Smackjeeves. Yes they are good at what they do. They could get a job doing just sprite work for game companies but they like "those who play Guitar Hero and think they are playing the Guitar." have a sucky a\nd rude attitude. So bad that if you can't even do half what they do then your automaticly a piece of trash. Ennnt wrong you guys think your the best and as a wise man once said "Those who think they have nothing to learn have learned nothing." Its getting so bad that if you polity ask for help from those you thought were your friends then get ignored and state your feelings about said snubbing you end up in a flame war. What has happened to the good ones? What?




And now for something completely different. Tomorrow or today rather I'll be getting what I need to create my designs and then I'll send my base design of Andros to our concept artists to expand on. I'll possibly be posting some concept art here after I make sure that its ok with our artist. Also I'll post my character from Toon Land here once I get him finished. Please no laughing. Hmm this seems to be over shadowed by the above post. What to do. Oh I know to give everyone a bit of a sneak preview here is some info about a few of the worlds/Dimensions from Nexus.

Nexus
Nexus is a world with Steam Punk tech that meets more modern tech. The buildings and such resemble something like Wild west towns mixed with Technology. The world has a vast Rail system with many steam engines hauling freight and Passengers daily. The city that is the main focus of the world is called Technes Town where our main character lives.

Clockwork Kingdom
The Clockwork Kingdom is a world that is populated by living breathing toys. The environment is that of a bunch of rooms that to the inhabitants seem huge. Couches are like mountains and doors are like gates to other countries. (Ok to be clear on this think Toy Story but without anyone other than the living toys living there.)

Toon land
A world that is inhabited by beings that look like cartoon characters. Many who live here are anthropomorphic characters that resemble something out of a classic American cartoon. Others have resemblance to Anime characters. There can be other types of cartoon characters such as things that don't make sense and things that are more like flash animated characters. The laws of this world are those of classic cartoons such as a character runs off a cliff he won't fall till he looks down.

Claytonia
A world that looks like something out of a Claymation film. Everything in this world is made out of clay or some variation. This world has a major problem with the Doh-dohman empire a race of Claytonia that is made out of a clay that hardens as they age. The rest are composed out of plasticine.

Sentech
A world with heros inspired by Sentai (Power Rangers). There is a evil force who keep trying to conquer the world. But they are fought by a fighting force.

Those are just a few of my favorite ones.

Anyway till tomorrow I say in the words of my friend GBA "Tatty bye."

Slight delay

Well there is a slight delay in the designing of Andros. Not too big of one but a delay none the less.  The reason I'm out of ink. Yeah I have to make a trip to my library to print out the things I'm going to use for ref and all so yeah maybe Wednesday before I get it. But anyway thems the breaks.



Some sad news one of our team members has left. I understand why and hope he finds the kind of work he needs. And also some concepts that Adam has been working on are nearly ready to send to our rendering team.

Well Hmm got nothing else so Just remember if you donate you get a upgrade in my Minecraft server and will be placed on the Beta tester list for when our first game comes out and will receive a free copy of Nexus once it is released. If you donate before the release.

Help us to help you

Well another day and I still haven't got much for you guys. Slow start I know but still. Anyway I'm going to do a rough sketch of the main character of Andross: Legacy tomorrow. I warn you it'll suck but its for the real artist who are working on the team. Also I decided that as Toon Land is a world of Cartoons I will be doing a few enemy and NPC designs in my art style. I thought this would be a neat idea. I may ask a few of my artist friends from DA that aren't on the team if they want their cartoony or anime style characters to cameo in Toon Land. I mean I'm not having empty worlds in any RPGs I do. The point of a RPG is to tell a story and to do that there needs to be characters. So even if they are a character whos only line of Dialogue is "I am Error." they still are there for some thing. Another thing KH did wrong. No I'm not just going to have a bunch of characters in there but I'm also not going to have too few. 

Also I am setting up a donations pool for raising funds for Terrier Entertainment. Anyone who donates gets a upgrade in my Minecraft server and will be placed on the Beta tester list for when our first game comes out. Also they will receive a free copy of Nexus once it is released is they donate before it comes out.

Info

Ok still feeling a bit under the weather but I'm going to give a bit of info about our current games.

Nexus: The great Journey

I started getting a idea for this not long after I read about Kingdom Hearts. I was always fascinated at a prospect of a game with many worlds in it and each world would have a set of laws of its own. I also thought why should each world look exactly the same? This is if you ask me the main thing wrong with Kingdom Hearts each world is based off a cartoon yet the main heroes remain in their anime or classic cartoon form. Not the way I'm going for nexus. Each world will change your appearance. For Example in the world known as Toon Land you and your party members become a type of Cartoon character ranging from Anime style to Flash animation and in between. Or in the Clockwork Kingdom you become living Toys in a world that seems to be made for giants. This is the main way that the worlds will be different but the battle mechanics may be different too. GBA, Sushigummi and I are working on more ways to make them have a worthwhile difference.

Andros: Legacy

Currently theres not much to this Platformer idea. I have thought up a basic story and the main hero and the villain but it needs a lot of work. One thing to be sure even though it will star a anthro it will not be a Sonic the Hedgehog wannabe. It will be more acrobatics than speed and a few puzzle stages as well. More details soon. 

Game Ideas

We currently are designing a Hack and slash RPG called Nexus: The great Journey and a 3D platformer called Andros: Legacy. I'm sorry for the shortness of this update I had a bit of trouble today and I'm just not feeling good at the moment. This afternoon expect more info.

Also just in we have a new member.

Zaw Ye Myint: 3d Character rendering

The Story

  Since I was about 4 years old watching Thomas The Tank and friends I've had a nack for creativity. Then on my sixth birthday I discovered a thing that would show me what I wanted to do with my life. Even is I didn't know it at the time. For on my sixth birthday I got a Sega Genesis and two games. As the years went by I got other systems such as the SNES, N64, GCN, PS2 and the Wii. And at first I wasn't aware they were going to show me the best idea I could imagine.

  When I entered the seventh grade I was playing Zelda OoT a lot and then it hit me. Why not go into the gaming industry? I loved games and the way they told stories as you controlled the progress. It ended when you wanted not at the last page like in a book. But there was a few major obstacles to my getting into the gaming industry. A monster called ADHD and Math.

  To those of you who don't know ADHD is Attention Deficit Hyper Activity Disorder. Simply put it made it hard for me to concentrate on things like school and such. This doubled my trouble with math. I have never had a nack for math. It just was a scramble of numbers to me. When I was four I didn't even understand that a Toy Train I had had four wheels. I thought it had two. Two o each side not four. by the time I got to sixth grade it was evident that math was over my head but I improved with the right teachers. I was almost able to understand algebra in my last year of High School. But due to me having to drop out (Due to the fact that they were trying to get me to kill myself) so I never got there. After I dropped out I discovered something though. I could write.

A year after I dropped out I began creating sprite comics on a site known as Smackjeeves. I found many like minded artist there and grew more confident in my writing skill. I decided to go into a writing career and I found a artist who could draw far better than me and we set to work on a Manga inspired work. It is still in production and will be the first volume of a series of comics called Vurtraon: Legends.

But I never gave up the game industry. In fact as a writer I understood most media was open to me. So a while back I founded Terrier Entertainment. It is in essences a company that will have a divisions for thing such as comics, games and other things as we go along. Currently we have two. Terrier Comics which will be the label for Vurtraon: Legends and Terrier Games a indy game team. We are not very big yet. Heack we just started but we will grow. our current team includes
