Another week, another Game Jam, this time round myself and my molyjammin buddy Wolfgang tackled ‘Game Hack‘, a 24 hr game jam at Pinewood Studios. This one was a little more ‘professional’, with big prizes such as publishing deals, cash and TIGA memberships, which resulted in some scarily professional work being shown at the final presentation showdown – but we weren’t really there for any of that – out came the kinect, and a-jammin we did go!
Its been a bit of a crazy week this week, the game I’ve been working on for the past year was released on the same day that I got some unfortunate personal news, and I’m kinda going through some difficult emotions at the moment as a result, hence this coming a little late.

And we got iPad Game of the week! Which means the horse and samurai I poured over a couple of weeks ago gets an outing.

I’ve been sitting on this one for a while now ( To the point where its kinda dated in terms of showing my technical skills, I can render better quality/way faster nowadays… ), but after seeing Ken Wong (Art Director on Alice:Madness Returns) at this years Animex, I finally asked for permission to shove ‘er up. Hit the jump for the juicy details.
