I haven’t yet elaborated a complete concept of where I want to take Yuckfu visually, but after I did some quick sketches yesterday I decided against 2D graphics for obvious reasons. So, the background, the crates and the character will be drawn in 3D – that is with Polygons and stuff. I won’t change the gameplay with this – you will still see the whole scene from a fixed side view.

After having watched The Fountain for the 50th time, I remembered Darren Aronofsky saying how the whole movie is a journey into the light. It is very dark in the beginning and becomes brighter and brighter towards the end. Since this movie is about 90 minutes long, this is a very slow transition – one that you probably more feel than see.

Each row represents 45 seconds of film. The Original is about 9000 pixels wide and 200mb heavy. Still, despite the movie being absolutely beautiful, I somehow expected more from this. Maybe I’ll streamline my process a bit more and try it with other movies – suggestions welcome!
And now for something completely different. A few friends of mine and I recently joked about the low dollar course and how the Euro is now the currency. Long story short, we came up with a T-Shirt design – which I clicked together in Illustrator a few days later.
If you want it, vote for it! Update: damn.

I didn’t really like any of the skins currently available on VLCs homepage. The miniMatrix skin looked very functional, but sadly also quite ugly, so I decided to make a skin with my own graphics based on this one.

There is also a .psd template for the buttons in the .vlt file, in case you care.
