It's been a week since I started game promotion experiment #1. I wanted to see how useful different promotion techniques were for my new game Stupid Human Castles.
Experiment #1 was to see how useful posting on a series of forums around the interwebs would be. The ones I settled on were:

Preamble.
I finally got around to releasing my first game, Stupid Human Castles! It took a good number of evenings after work, skipped social events, rubbish dinners and a deal with the devil that is Java, but it's done! It's complete!
Unfortunately, programming the damn game was the easy part.

The game is at http://shipcrafter.stillholdsup.com
Ok, it was painful but it's done. The game now has 382 damn items in it, so there should be enough content to progress all the way to level 20. I think this should make the game more interesting to test now. This means that a bunch of the items/nu…

So I just finished building out around 150 items for the game. That was exhausting 0_o
All the items I've added are system modules which means once there are some new chassis types there should be enough content to build ships all the way to the level cap and the h…

So for the last few months I've been working on a little browser game called (for now at least) S.H.I.P C.R.A.F.T.E.R. It's a pvp focused browser game set in space where you buy ships, buy modules, configure and optimize the ass out of your ship, then send it off to combat with other players.

There's a few of us around Gdnet who keep an eye on each others art, so I figured I'd chuck this up.
I saw Hellboy 2 a few days ago (finally) and screamed "Must draw hellboy!" in my friends faces when the movie was over. Unfortunately, seen as I was too lazy to use any references, his guns a tad sma…

So this little drawing I started yesterday afternoon and finished up this morning. It's for a "Hulk versus ???" thread at conceptart.org where you have to draw Hulk battling some other superhero. I'm stuck drawing on a tiny hamster powered laptop at the moment, so trying to ink this thing sent the …

First time I've put pencil to paper in over a month, I've been so busy with moving. Over at ca.org they had a little spiderman challenge, and I drew this up when I got home after having a few too many drinks with Coldacid at the pub (multiple pints later, still didn't find a beer I really like). It…

I lurve black and white artwork, so I decided to try my hand at it. I was hoping to make it a bit grittier, and I think the table is a bit bare, but overall I guess I'm happy with it. Except hands, I couldn't draw good hands even if the Russian mafia had a gun to my head, and I plan on spending the…

So the other day I posted the inked version of a drawing I was mucking about with, and here is the finished color version. The background was just going to be temporary, but I kinda liked it so I left it as it was.
edit - I might as well replace it with the updated version down in the comments:

I'm about to start coloring this piece, but I want to add more detail and "stuff". The thing is, I can't quiet think of what else to do. So I figured I would chuck it up and see if anyone can notice any horrible gaffs or has any suggestions on what to add before I color it.
It was actually a real ch…

Over at the website Seventh Sanctum, a great place for all sorts of random generators, they run a competition every now and again which is a lot of fun. Based on the results you get with the generators, you have to draw/animate/bake etc. whatever it is you get. I entered into one ages ago which was…

This is my second attempt at recording a Wacom sketch. The video worked out a bit better by keeping to the middle of the screen, although the final image is a tad small. I slowed the drawing down a bit too so it's easier to see what is going on.

I like watching people draw on YouTube, so I decided to get everything setup and give it a go myself. The results were...well...it's my first attempt [smile]. I tried going to fast, messed up the layers and before I knew it I'd screwed it up. I was too lazy to do it again so I put it up anyway [gri…

The Bioware forums are running a 'post a wallpaper of Mass Effect' thread, so I thought 'eh, why not?' and put this together. It's missing out on a few races because I ran out of space (didn't want to use the left hand side for much because of icons) and I still suck major donkey dong at background…

The following is a WIP. I've never drawn proper buildings before, so I started this yesterday with the aims of getting some practice in at perspective and cityscapes. The idea is to have Spiderman freaking out as he is being chased by a rocket through the city, hence the different style of eyes. Th…

A week or so ago I went to visit the parents, which becomes very boring at night owing to the TV being locked on game shows. To stave of boredom I drew this up while I was there with some pencils I found in my bag.

Ok, I still can't get that lounge/chick/Bush thread to sound right. But, there was nothing that special on TV so I accidently typed this out.
Just learn to fly, like normal people.
In other news, The Help Portal is now open!

I was going to do a guide on 'how to pick up chicks by making informative lounge threads detailing the evils of George W', as suggested by Kazgoroth, but not surpirisngly it turned out to be a bit tricker than I planned ^_^
I will try and get that done soon.

Game development in a fun and exciting job, covered in creaming layers of private jets and frivolous sex, these perks are not only common, but flat out expected for anyone who decides to enter this thrilling industry.

Option D won last week
The pandas hit the button to open the train roof, drooling down onto the floor. I knew I only had to survive until the next station to meet Clancy, and then we could get out of this city.

Option A won last week
The zombie pandas were right behind me, and it became clear that I was not going to make it to the subway platform.
"OVER THERE" I shouted to myself, desperately pushing myself in the back.
A few meters away was the ticket booth, which was by far the most highly clad security s…

Option B won last week
It was midnight as I sat there, clinging to the tree. I had to get out of this city before the zombie-pandas found me. Although my chances of beating one of them in hand to hand combat was as slim as my chances of winning a fight against them, I had two advantages. One, I po…

Option C won last week
So as I mentioned last time, Man-Bags made me a deal. If I leapt out of a plane and skydived into a wading pool, they would give me a second or two of air time on their radio station, sweet golden dripping air time, to promote my drink.
Well as of this moment, I am all geare…
