New Vid On the Way!

My last video was made using a software application called RPG Maker 2003. It is a good tool for making 8 bit animations, it allows for a lot of flair, I guess but I’ve decided over the weekend to broaden my skills using another piece of software, Stencyl. I’ve only used Stencyl a bit over this weekend, but I believe it has a more dedicated community, is more updated and is capable of more overall than 2003 is.

Fortunately, I can use some of the old images from 2003 in Stencyl. They aren’t a million miles away from each other. Both have their strengths and weaknesses. Stencyl for example is brilliant at making quick level design and getting the basics hammered out quickly. It gets a bit cumbersome when you want to do something a bit flash, which is where RPG Maker really wipes the floor with it.

I will be using both but I think I’ve got New Toy syndrome with Stencyl, it’s so bright and shiny!

Below are a couple screenshots of what I’m working on next. It’s not an Engine Heart story FYI.

Stencyl!

Engine Heart: Origin (Part 1) Available

Uploaded to YouTube for your pleasure. I think my next upload will be clay animation. I like that Wallace and Gromit style. Maybe see what I can do. Hopefully the next one will ready soon.

To Whet Your Appetite…

A couple more screenshots on the Engine Heart project. It’s coming!

The Story of Engine Heart

I’ve started a Story of Engine Heart: Origins. It’s the story of how love can build and destroy men. Below is a few screenshots. Hoping to get something on here before the week is over.

These animations are created under At Least Try (ALT) Productions

Blissful Mood, don't you think.

How could I not? I love Sonic
