Something like a roadmap.

It's time to tell where my forces and all my free time are directed. Besides dozens of sketches, many of which deserve to be completed, I have a lineup of medium and large projects.

Now I am engaged in the development and maintenance of my first project in a new visual novel environment for me - TyranoBuilder Visual Novel Studio. Unlike Renpy does not require strong programming knowledge and other specific skills. I am very sorry that this program does not yet support flash. I love and can animate a bit in flash. As a programmer, I am weak.

So, the menu:

A game about Dexter's parents (Dexter's Lab). One evening of their lives. Not simple, but festive. This evening can go in many ways and have a lot of endings. In this case, I try to create not just a linear plot, or a little branched, but a dynamic system of moods and variants of events. I myself do not know why I complicate the work so much - nobody will notice it and hardly appreciate it, but I’m just curious about this challenge myself. 

In addition, I am trying to develop my own graphic solution system. My own style is still poorly expressed. I am perfectly able to imitate and learn, but my style has not yet opened to me. And even I myself do not understand how I like to draw characters more - in a cartoon style or more realistic ... I am afraid that I consciously do not develop my own style. But while for games, animations and, possibly, comics, I decided that I would try to make 3D environments and drawn characters. Perhaps because I am a designer - engineer and I work in 3D. Therefore, I work through the design and universes in this form. Therefore, the backgrounds will have to be error free and a bit automated. Render. And maybe painted, but still the construction will be with the 3D model.

For example, here is one of the concepts of the Dexter lab site:

But this is from another game .... :)

The title screen and the name of this game (about dexter's parents) I will give you a spoiler now.

Something like this....

On this project, I throw my main strength. It is a priority for me. Although I understand that I chose a difficult path. It would be easier to carry out commissions and make regular posts sketches and drawings. And more trends! Incest, black guys and white blondes ... Boys in the form of girls .... And everything would be much easier. But I want something else. Tell a story. I want to dream a little, scare, laugh. I guess I'm just a little too old.  (This does not mean that I will not draw boy-girls. Sometimes I find them terribly intriguing.)

Well, let's leave this game alone. As soon as the minimum mechanic is ready - I will release it .. I hope for a small arrival of patreons - translation of this game (as well as other things) will require hiring a freelancer. I know English very little. See for yourself that the text of the post translates Google for me.

In addition to this game, I have a few more games in the plans. Most are original characters and plots. Yes, I have a whole universe, which is just too early for me to realize. No skills, no team, no resources. We'll see ... If my work will be interesting to people, then to give birth to my four or six episodes of my saga is my goal and dream. I do not dare to look further. In general, I have many themes for games, believe me.

In addition to games, I plan just small animations and mini-videos.

There is also a concept for the production of a series of para-scenes of famous cartoon characters. In flash format.

Well, and often the hands themselves stretch just to draw something. Actually, while only these works I published. In addition to a few small sketches for the game. Just after you start posting your work, it's hard to give up. Watch the number of your fans increase ... People write you words of approval ... It motivates and turns you on. In general, I'm not going to stop.

It is a pity that I have very little time for this work. Here is today's opportunity to work, I used to write this post. But I hope that it will be useful for you and me. It will be clearer who you have contacted, and it will be easier for me after announcing my plans and intentions.

In the meantime, I bow out.

Wishing you happy holidays!

And just as a small bonus - one of the old design sketches of a little grown-up Dexter and Dee-Dee.
