Inspiration, Perspiration

Thanks to Evan Merz (Arrow of Time) for the music.

It is a 2 minute animation about Thomas Edison and his assistant. Enjoy.

There are some sketches from it on AdamVian.com

Also, here is an image that might be fun to look at, it is a lot of character doodles I’ve done recently.

Sorry about the lack of SFB stuff at all, I’ve been busy with University, but its nearly over

Thanks very much!

This…is not one of those games.

Coming soon!

The pixel is the smallest addressable screen element, it is the smallest unit of picture which can be controlled.

I’m pretty excited about this one, it should be something of a success!

So there we are, you guys should officially be looking forward to it now!

Also, I did some Mario Bros Wii fanart. YES

• I’m in my third year at University, studying animation.
• I’m working for Armor Games on side projects that perhaps aren’t always classed as “SFB” games
• Tom has a full time job
• We’re both a little bit useless

The game next on the radar from myself and my brother is still JAMES THE SUPER ZEBRA. Yes I know it is taking forever, we’re very sorry. We haven’t been able to have half as much time on it as we’d like. We’ve done a massive amount of work for it though, so don’t worry, it will arrive.

I’d also like to mention a game – something close to my heart, and yours – juding by the amount of emails we get. Every week I get emails, some of them genuinely touching, some of them closer to nagging – about Detective Grimoire 2. We will release it, one day. The version in the banner you might have been waiting for has been scrapped and a different game sits all over the pages of a good number of sketchbooks. Its something I’d LOVE to make, and we will. But its a lot of work. Thankyou to every single person who played the first and send us a message about it, we love you all. Grimoire 2 will arrive. The voice actors contacted during the production of the first Grimoire 2 – we’re still hoping you’ll be able to help us out

BUT. Its not all bad. Although I feel pretty terrible that we haven’t linked to this before, here is a game I released last year:

play on Newgrounds

play on Armor Games

Its a fun halloween game I produced with the talented Joey Betz, over at our pals Armor Games. Give it a try, EVEN THOUGH its nowhere near halloween.

If you’re interested in some more of my art, I occasionaly upload things to my deviantArt account. It might be worth a chuckle to check that out from time to time.

Here’s an example, a joke slot machine design I did, pretty much just as practice. I’ve recently been trying to find some magical combination of John K and Tove Jannsson. I don’t think it exists, so I should move on without another word.

And here is one of the more successful images I produced early this (academic) year, for a character design project. He’s a misanthropic teenager who believes he’s a caterpillar stuck in a man’s body:

I enjoyed this process so much that I started designing others to live in his house with him. Here’s another one, a fantasy literature enthusiast. Someone who wishes they lived in a Robin Hobb novel.

And one more who has no special relevance whatsoever.

If you’re interested in what I’m doing RIGHT now, here is an image from the latest animatic of my University project, about Thomas Edison.

This animation project goes back several months – here are some other images from it:

Here is an image from an upcoming game – but its a game that doesn’t belong to me so I shan’t go around giving away details. I am doing the art though, and here is some:

Thats all for now, thanks very much!

By popular demand, we’re releasing the original soundtrack to The Arrow Of Time! Evan Merz did a fantastic job writing these tracks, and they really bring the whole game together.
