#Picktorial review series

The series started out using limited 2D animations of illustrations but we never seemed able to get artists to stay long enough to get more than one short done with them. While Teddy is a bit different from the rest, being a toy bear and fuzzy we are hoping he will fit right in and become the doctor's main companion in the coming animations. The shorts are only about 1 ½ - 2 minutes long but have quite a bit of movement in them. He will join the doctor character and a slew of others I've made but haven't put in projects yet. Teddy will be added to the science series I occasionally animate for Doctor Christopher Labos at ' The Body of Evidence' podcast. So, overall, fun to look at, a good diverting game! Game play was fairly smooth on my iMac and while, like all these puzzle games, there are a few parts that will drive you crazy (even with cheating) there was nothing as frustrating as the maze puzzle in Obduction to worry about. This is a pure explore and solve experience with not consequences and I appreciated that. or a solution to what happened on the island - forget it, it's not coming and it obviously wasn't meant to be explained. There a re a few little hidden alcoves that serve no purpose other than to show you a cool little part of the mysterious island. The looks of the game is very much like an illustration and the scenery is beautifully done and includes lots of little fun extras, like rock formations that make characters from certain angles and it even using your shadow in fun ways here and there. There is a surprising amount of variety I didn't expect in puzzles with such limited parameters. The puzzles are pretty much all of one kind, tracing paths on screens to activate more screens and to open doors.

The biggest change is there isn't a story of any kind to follow, so there really isn't anything to spoil as it's just puzzle solving and exploration. A puzzle game set on an island, it brings Myst to mind immediately, but veers off in a very different direction. Overall the game is impressive in both its design and extensive world footprint. I finally finished the Witness on Steam (It was recently released for IOS as well.) As my mom always says, Beggars can't be choosers!Ģ018 is the year of the dog, and I have one and have been called one on occasion so maybe that's a good sign for the coming 365 days. the only posts readily viable see to be working at sauna (sex clubs) and that is not very appealing. I will need to find part time work somewhere, somehow. So while I might keep being poor, I won't be bored. Luce and a new Lovecraft film in production. In the meantime I have 2-3 animations being planned out with Mr. So here I am, hoping 2018 brings real, paying work. If I ever get hired again, I'll be able to accomplish more than ever before and much quicker A lot of things came together in my head finally and I also found many ways to get things done faster and more efficiently.

The TV show I worked on was in the running for a international Emmy - which somehow did not translate into a third season, at least not so far. I was able to see quite a few people I haven't in a very long time when I spent a few days in Provincetown and my brother and I went to Colorado to take photos - which was another project we talked about for years and had not gotten around to. Keamy and I also made headway on a Walt Whitman project we have been talking about for YEARS. I got to work with Mike Luce a lot more and with Michael Z Keamy - both who are nice enough to help me by lending their voices to my work. 2 more were huge challenge for me and I find them to be a success in furthering my character design and cartoon animation skills. Lots of drawings and I finished 5 animations which is a record, I think! 2 of those films were presented at the Another Hole in the Head film festival in San Fransisco and one was another education short for Christopher Labos at The Body of Evidence podcast.

On the plus side, I was pretty busy with my own projects. My home needed 20 000$ in renovations which worked out well, just not for my already too small retirement fund. I also had no substantial contracts and made less money than pretty much ever in working life. I lost several friends, one was total gut punch and I did not take it well.

Politics aside, my year was personally full of ups and downs. The American election to my south was shocking and continues to be.

I think for many people, in general it was pretty stressful year to say the least. So I don't usually summarize the year at it's end but I've been thinking about doing it the last few months, so why not?
