How we draw?

First we start with rough thumbnails. These are quick sketches that allow us to experiment with multiple ideas.

Next we sketch that layout in Photoshop with a Wacom Cintiq.

After the layout is approved, we start adding colour.

Finally we add detail and finish the illustration.

Next Game

My next game will be created with Unity3D. This will allow us to develop the game for web, iPhone, iPad, Android, Nintendo Wii, XBOX 360, Playstation3 and hopefully the new mobile PSP.

Should we focus on Web and XBOX 360 first?

The current plan is to develop a massive multiplayer strategy game, where players create squads of mice to battle other players. Keep following for more details.

Robots and Mice

Last month I tweeted two questions: “The main characters of my next game should be: Snails, Mice, Humans, Bears, or Potatoes?” and “Should my next game be a MMO strategy game with robots, or a casual MMO fantasy game with knights and dragons?”. Well after a lot of feedback, I have decided to build a multiplayer strategy game with mice and robots.

Above is an early concept of mice preparing to battle a monster snake. Strategy games can be very complex and I expect this game to take a couple years to finish. Keep following!
