Weapon in Development, part 2

Hi, guys! How's the term break going? Enjoy? Having fun?

So, this is my progress for making the axe...

Based on the working drawing, I've cut the axe into many pieces.

Each pieces of the cutout is a mounting board stick by double-sided tape with 2 pieces of compact foam at both side.

This is to make the axe looks bulky & thick, but still very light to wield it. (like holding a feather... :D)

As the picture shown above, this is how it look when combine all the pieces together.

Of course, I'm still have a long way to finishing it, this is just the inner part of the axe, I'm still need to covered it with cardboard, make the blade sharp, adding all the details & etc.

Yupe, still got a long way to go... OTZ

So, hows your progress?

Weapon in Development

Greetings!

There is a Chinese saying, "hit the metal when it's hot" (打铁要趁热... :D)

After I've sketch out the design, I trace the artwork with FreeHand(designer software), and this is my basic line work. The axe is about 2.5 feet in height, less than 1.5 feet in width.

The status up to now is, I've printed out the actual size in paper, now I'm going to start all the handicraft works... :D

I will update the progress again, maybe with photos also, really looking forward to make the axe happen. So, how's about your weapon?

The Forge Master

Forge your own weapon...

As if an artist without his brush, a chef without his spatula.

How can you start your adventure without a weapon?

Fellow members, we should forge our own weapon, if we need to start our journey...

So, as for our next mission (character development still ongoing), think of a weapon suitable for yourself. Learn from the previous meeting, find a concept, brainstorming and development.

Show me your design and we will make it happen, also, don't forget to engraved our club logo into it.

-----


As for me, I will be using Axe, I named it "King Cutter X-AE"(pronounce as X minus AE). The ideas of my design is based on [X](axe) and [O](round shape). After a few development, as what you can see from the picture above, this will be my final outcome.

The center of the axe is a round green orb, the two blade is heat blade. So, I'm thinking of colored it with gradation tone, from white, yellow to orange, maybe a little bit red at the edge. Also, I engraved our club logo into it, can you find it?

So, this is what I can think of it for now... Now, what will your design be?

Project in Mind | My Game

It happened a while ago, when I need to work at the front counter due to lack of human resource.

It gave me the chance to explore about games, especially “indie” games. You all may visit http://www.tigsource.com for reference.

It strike me that maybe I also can fulfill the dream of my life, make my own game.

So, inspired from Bombie Zombie by Codemonkey http://shadypixel.webs.com/bz.htm

And definitely influenced by Super Metroid, this is what I had in mind for the introduction…

-----

My name is Shuuti Shoot.
I’m a Space Bounty Hunter.
Although I’m not the top, but I’m the best you can get in this sector of space.

Never knew the hunter becomes hunted. I was ambushed by the Bing Bang Gang, the nastiest Alien Crook ever encounter.
My ship is damaged and forced to land on this… Planet “Amn”

Legend says the planet was a holy ground of an Ancient Civilization… Until one day the whole population of the planet vanished, nobody knew what happened?
...
Since that day, the planet becomes the breeding ground of many alien monsters…

I need to get off this planet, and I need to survive. God bless me…

-----









The game design will be minimalism, pixel art and action platformer. Many Ideas still in development stages, I still need to learn game making form zero…

So, let’s do it! 敬请期待

因为努力而成功


在email里读到,觉得很有意思,所以决定上载于blog,希望对大家有帮助。也感谢写此激励感言的人士。所读文章如下:


從小聽到大的故事 [龜兔賽跑] ,總是以為,現實生活裏,絕對不會有人像兔子般,因為貪睡而輸給烏龜。長大後漸漸發現 [其實有成就的人,不是靠能力而是靠努力] 。

有些人的成就,是你的十倍、百倍、千倍、萬倍,但是他的能力卻不一定是你的十倍、百倍、千倍、萬倍。[不是他比你聰明,而是他笨笨的,去做一些你所不願去做的事] 。

在人生中,聰明的人,常常在最後,變笨了;而笨的人,卻常常在最後,變聰明了。遇到寒冷酷熱,聰明的人逃開了;笨的人,卻傻傻的去親身嘗試,意外的在寒冷酷熱中成長,因為笨的人都知道:[努力不一定會成功,但成功卻永遠需要努力] 。

A Trip To Penang Toy Museum

Yes! Monday is the day. We visited the Penang Toys Museum. (will upload the photos later)

So, as what I expected, everybody was having a good time over there. Let them some knowledge about toys and they have a lot of laugh due to the misplace of the toys... :P

Same for me, disappointed indeed, of how they mange the museum… :(
As a toy collector myself, it sadden for me to say that the museum gave “Toys” a bad name. It make the toys is just a toys, child’s play.

“Toys”, should be a piece of our childhood’s memories. Something that share with our life, something we want but unable to afford.

An high-tech masterpiece of that time, that we always carried it to show off to others and proud of owning it.


Give us unlimited imagination, smile and happiness.
But the museum doesn’t make it so…

Although the comments is criticizes more than praise, but the main purpose of the trip has been met. And I think the member will have lots of inspiration and idea for their character development.
