This week, apart from being unable to a particular Queen song out of my head (He'll save ev'ry one of us!), I've been slowly acquainting myself to the basic tools of Illustrator and Flash. I'm still at the absolute basics, working through a few online tutorials.

After some consideration I've decided…

I've decided it's probably best to find good books for both Illustrator and Flash, since I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed by them at the moment. My Inkscape drawing technique doesn't seem to port to Illustrator very well at all. My usual strategy of drawing a rough sketch version then overlaying it wi…

A grab bag of topics in this post. A few unfortunate things that have set me back a bit this week, my first (brief) look at Adobe Illustrator, and the MAGIC contest.

Sorry about not posting in a while. I've been both busy and away visiting family in Melbourne, so I've been a bit slack on all fronts. I did though get a little bit of game programming done on my laptop while away, but nothing much to write home about; I've dismantled my current game system and I'm…

After considering some of the comments I've had on foru…

New post over at my journal at trazoi.net:

Quote: While I need to put in some more changes to the website (and think of a new poll too), it's about time to start posting about my hobby projects, since that is the whole point of trazoi.net.

As you've probably guessed from the site my main hobby is gam…

New journal header is up. I've broken away from the Nintendo game mould this week. One quirk of this particular game choice is that I haven't actually played the seventh of the Final Fantasy series, but I thought Cloud was probably the most recognisable protagonist with that hair that could take so…

I've added a downloadable games page over at trazoi.net, where you can get copies of Brixtar and Pierre and the Fish. I've also made a journal post over there about it too.
