Shayne - Friends in Low Places - Windows

Postby reneuend » Tue Feb 10, 2009 6:13 am

It may take a month to finish this game, but I might as well introduce it!

Image Shayne Detective Series

This is the second game in the Shayne series.

Shayne ends up in jail again, but this time he's not alone. He'll have to work with undesireables to get what he wants this time.

Getting down and dirty this time around

Shayne buys a car and goes for a drive

In jail once again, eh? And with the same ugly wallpaper, too! :D

This should be interesting...

thanks.

I draw them, but I have to reference a picture of some sort. It's harder for me to just draw from my mind...esp. as I get older. :shock:

edit: it takes me about an hour to sketch one object. Then I add a second layer and draw hard lines (this can take a few hours depending on the complexity). Finally, I add color and shading. If they are animated, then I add a layer for each movement. :shock:

I really need to learn 3D Modeling one of these days... :?

Besides, if you look closely, there is a reason for who I chose for the thugs in jail! but enough of that....don't want to give away too much.

Start with SketchUp. It's the easiest. :wink:

Of course, once you've mastered SU, you may not want to try other 3D modeling programs... Hey, I just thought of a new internet slang term, for 3D modelers only: SUS- that means SketchUp Spoiled. :mrgreen:

I noticed a sheer lack in Shayne for two months (suprised to see me-?) :?

Everyone on the Free Thinkers team has been busy working on Breath and other personal projects. Reneuend is also learning a new animation program, so he's more swamped than most of us.

I understand your large project, Breath, is underway but I have a question about this one, is it really going to be third person like the pictures? :(

It's not 3rd person. Those are some of the characters in the story that Shayne has to work with. I like using people in my games.

Looks interesting Reneuend. What do you draw on; is it a computer program?

Hi Kat.

I hand drew everything using Paintshop Pro 7. I'm so familiar with it that I never upgraded or changed!

I bought Anim Studio to improve the animation. You'll see that when I release this game.

Hahahah! Can I blame ShadowHunter? :oops:
He came out with KeyGuard4 and Particle+, so I had to try them out to see how I could use them in my games. Then 3DGamer wanted a journal and I couldn't pass that up! Then Amari wanted a custom Load/Save Game and I'm finishing up a plugin for that! Now I have the Anim Studio Debut 6 to help improve my animation...and there is the 'Breath' project.

So, you see? It's not really my fault! :?

I've been working on Shayne along with these other projects. I'll be narrowing my focus on this project and 'breath' next week.

This was announced, when again? Febuary... now... July... a span of six months! Either Breath is got you in a fix or Shayne McCoy died on a weekend too :lol: ... wait, death is never a laughing matter :( . So, I perfectly understand Breath has got you without much time for the Shayne series. Okay, just wondering. *Non-chalantly shuffles away* sorry for interrupting.

I added another image in the original post of this thread, but I hate to give too much away!
