Well, I’m trying to finish all Dary’s animations, but it’s not easy to give life and charisma to a character with simple animations typical of a roguelike dungeon crawler game. It’s always something missing but my problem are the faces, like a different face when he has to do some effort to pick up something, or other funny faces. This character is very smart, a little bit cocky, he likes to help other people, and he’s always smiling. Dary is a little boy who is sure of what he’s doing even if it means failure, but he has a kind heart.
Now I have to go back to work and try to finish all the animations… I need to start doing the teaser this week (I hope) .

Hi there!

Well I’ve been a little bit silenced in the past few months, but I finally have something new to show you. I gladly announce, Different Pixel’s third game “Dary’s Legend”. You can check for updates here: www.daryslegend.com.
Dary’s Legend is a graphical hand-drawn, roguelike dungeon crawler game, and this is what I’ve been working on lately…

I wanna wish you all a Happy New Year!
I’ve been working on some new stuff and soon I will be able to show you. For now I just keep drawing and working on my thesis about videogames:

“As we make these value judgments, hold moral debates over the addictive quality of games, and simultaneously rush to achieve massive industry expansion, a vital point is being missed. The fact that so many people of all ages, all over the world, are choosing to spend so much time in game worlds is a sign of something important, a truth that we urgently need to recognize.
The truth is this: in today’s society, computer and video games are fulfilling genuine human needs that the real world is currently unable to satisfy. Games are providing rewards that reality is not. They are teaching and inspiring  and engaging us in ways that reality is not. They are bringing us together in ways that reality is not.” – in Reality is Broken, Jane MacGonigal

Oh and if you can help out indie games. Here’s the Indie Gala where you can pay-what-you-want for an indie game bundle that has sold over 44,000 bundle so far. You still have 4 days to buy it and receive Vizati as a New Year Bonus and much more. You can see here (Gamasutra) a press release about this bundle.

You can check our games, Vizati and Anadea

There’s a lot of indie people with an amazing talent trying to make games on their own.
If you can, help them 2 =)

Last month we had some of our drawings exposed at “Ateliês de Artistas – FBAUL”. You can check some of our drawings and photos here: http://www.desenharfazbem.com/site/.

I don’t know why, but I really like the result of these 2 drawings/paintings. Maybe I have to work a little bit more on the technique but the mark is here:
