Halloween 2o14’s “jacked” sackiCons-02 ~
Rather than hitting the party scene in some crazy getup, i’ve voluntarily cooped up indoors on a rainy (or at least wet-ish) Halloween night, workin’ on the computer with some vector-art (plus a healthy dose of photoshoppery) and drawing up avatar “costumes” for some friends…which ultimately boils down to a solitary endeavor that feels Continue reading
そば / soba in hot soup w/ kamaboko + negi
Sometimes, especially on a chilly day (or night), there are few things more delightful than a piping-hot bowl of noodle soup.
Okay, so much of the ingredients in this were of the “instant” variety: the そば buckwheat noodles were the store-bought dry kind, the soup was seasoned with condensed bottled つゆ, and the kamaboko―well, heck, it’s highly unlikely that i’ll ever make my own fishcake from scratch.

Rather, it’s a mock-up for how a telcihc game might look as a static image with touch controls and the whole works.
The process of creating this image has made for quite a fun UI design exercise for me. Yet, perhaps a bit ironically, i’m still rather skeptical about how well a platforming game can work with touch-controls, like in terms of how well can a platformer control , given the advantages and disadvantages of touch-screen interface. I’m convinced that Continue reading
