So my newspaper article was a little bit of a side step. I say that because I didn't go too much into the details of what I'm trying to invoke. I guess I wrote it from a perspective I fear I will have to face. That of an audience that has a casual exposure to video games. Frankly its an audience I will find myself brushing against if I continue down this route. I don't fault them but it may lead to a stilted surface conversation because of a gap in experience. Anyways can't say that the newspaper piece was of any great literature. I started with a boring character and he stayed boring throughout his small writeup. I think the only part I would keep in a rewrite would be the bit about how he only really wanted to sit down.
But that's done. I have other things to write and do. Like my characters for this project.
I've tied myself to using "Jack" as my lead characters name. I would say it's because I could make a Jack and Jill reference...but really its because its a short and easy name to use in dialog.
I need to finish up work on his model. AKA animate it so I can plop him into the unity engine and advance the environment art.
Since most of the other characters are skeletons with small clothing changes it shouldn't take me too long to fill out the rest of the cast...Course I'd rather like to say that in past tense.
The one thing I did this week was story board the work out so I can at least see a progression.. they work well enough in concert so if the worst comes to it I can present them along with my final piece to help shore up any lack of content......wait have I already telegraphed doubt and insecurity? I need to get back to work then.
