Machinarium!

 A while ago, a good friend of mine recommended me this little, point-and-click adventure game called Machinarium. It's a great indie game with lots of puzzles and amazing, hand-drawn art. While playing it, I was taken on a trip into a beautiful world, full of inspiring sights, mind-twisting riddles and a well thought-out story :) An interesting aspect of the game is that there are no dialogues - the game replaces speech with simple sign language, as a result, you don't need to know english to play:)

Go ahead and visit www.machinarium.net to play the free demo online, and if you like it, buy it! :)
Oh, and btw, try to pass it without using any of the hints! I did :)

A portal :)

Today, I've made another simple 2D sprite, this time it's a standard q3/ql portal.



I thought of this neat idea today while making these sprites. I want to make a short quake-ish 2D platformer game and attach it to the movie. I already saw some tutorials on youtube. It might learn something useful and have some fun at the same time.:)

But don't worry, I'm still working on the movie. This portal will be used in the intro, and I've also made a background but I won't be sharing that with you. You'll see it in the movie. I'll be making updates more frequently now, so you're welcome to check for news every now and then. :)

Busy December

December just started and it looks like I'll have plenty of work. First there's the Maverick Servers Mapping Contest where I am one of the judges. I'm really excited about it because I've seen some beta versions and teasers and believe me or not, it will be hot :D I'll post more info about the contest later on. Other then that, 2 days ago TEK9 announced a new video contest. I've participated in the last one, Zero being my submission. This time it's a mini video contest sponsored by AMD. The rules say that the video should be from 60 up to 90 seconds long. I already have millions of ideas in my head :) Thank god I won't have any exams in uni this month ;)

Oh, btw few days ago my friend showed me a great game! It's called isketch and it's A LOT of fun! Especially if you're playing with your friends. Check it out! :)
