falling trees!

This is a new demo of my video game progress at studio xx.  This week I had a lot of fun adding my hand drawn textures into the game.  Now it is time to design the full landscape.  But the tree is falling!  [Thanks to Julien Beausejour for master programming help.]

Timber Jack

Timber Jack is my Video game developed using Blender Game Engine.  

The game is in Progress.

I am creating this video game as part of my residency, Digital Ludology at Studio XX.
Game Design by Allison Moore
Programming by Julien Beausejour

The Current images are temporary. My game will eventually feature hand-drawn illustrated textures for the character, trees and landscape. The game will also feature tree-hugger hippies and forest creatures who defend the trees. Progress is recorded by a point system during a restricted amount of game time.   Using 2D paper-cut animation style in 3D environment.

Smile Stealers

I am teaming up with PARLOR TREATS [ Jasa Baka, Tyr Jami, Todd MacDonald and friends] to create SMILE STEALERS.

Smile stealers will be a live action animation short film. It will combine analogue special effects and overhead projection/animation with digital video and after effects animation.

Smile Stealers is a short story about a girl who has a destiny to become a warrior. Her name is Tyr, like the Norse God of War. She battles the sky, saves a unicorn, escapes a Paper Moon photo booth trap and fights the Queen of “A Moon” and her Moon Children to set the smiles free. 

By encompassing song, dance, theatre design, animation (both digital and analogue projections) we strive to create a Gestamkunstwerk; a total work of art that encompasses all aspects/dimensions of the arts.

THIS IS A sample SCENE from the film.  Production will start JUNE.

Lion fights the sky.

Sky wins though he is slashed and dripping by the end, after suffocating the Lion.

He now has the two halves of the smile (vessel of ultimate power).
