Some turrets from "Spice Bandits 2"

This is an old piece of work from the development of "Spice Bandits 2." I made these soon after I started working at On5. I introduced a novel lighting scheme, best visible in 01_big_gun. I used more lights to show the cylinder form of the turrets better. These were made in 4 hours. It's funny how quick it is possible to make assets like these, but yet spend years on a game project.

Galite pažaisti šį žaidimą nuorodoje į Global Game Jam svetainę. Arba galite pažiūrėti žaidimo video čia.

Šį žaidimą sukūrėme 2015-ųjų metų Global Game Jam renginyje Vilniuje. Penktadienio vakare buvo paskelbta tema, o sekmadienį vidudienį turėjome jau priduoti baigtą žaidimą. Aš kūriau grafiką, kambarį, objektus, veikėją, vinjetę, eksterjerą prisidėjau prie žaidimo mechanikos.

Buvo naudojami papildomi nemokami modeliai:
- Rukiryo's radio, TurboSquid

Iliustracijos iš „Catomic“ (iOS) žaidimo

2015-ųjų švenčių proga mes, „On-5“, sukūrėme žaidimą „Catomic“.

Savo iliustracijas pridėjau žemiau. Jos yra tos dvi eilutės nuotraukos viduryje / My illustrations, the two middle rows:

A studio rendering of Sony MDR-7506 headphones

This is a studio rendering of my Sony MDR-7506 headphones. I adore them quite a lot, so this work is an homage and patronage to it and the team behind the creation of these wonderful cans! This product design is so beautiful, I had to model them. The delightful angles, curves, proportions, and neat, subtle tricks, like the different materials of plastic used, shows the dedication of the design team to excellence. 

Furthermore, one of Sony's product line's slogan "make.believe" is so great and delightful, I had to include it in here. I think it quite fits with the... let's say "interesting" subject matter.

Here's a couple of places I accidentally found these (or similar) headphones. First photograph is of Szjerdene live from KEXP studio with Bonobo, the second is of Jodie Foster from the movie "Contact". Also, I noticed Simon Ostrovsky, a veteran VICE reporter, wearing those, too.

New media festivals with projects in the video games medium

There are aplenty of biennials around the world, which are dedicated to or feature new media art projects. Quite a few of them use some part of video game technology. Microsoft's Kinect is a sure favourite, but there are a lot of other video game tools being used by artist. Here I will list a few art festivals which are worth checking out and keeping tabs on for future projects - which just might touch upon gaming. Most festivals offer on-line archives of their prior projects, so even if you missed the event, you can find those interesting experiments up on the web.

futureeverything.org

Based in Manchester, United Kingdom, FutureEverything is an annual festival of ideas, digital invention, conferences and art projects. They cover a lot of bases, and their focus is new media, new ideas, new connections. As they describe themselves on their official website: "FutureEverything is about innovation in all forms, be it in research, digital media or contemporary arts and music."

Kallisti

This is the video part of the installation. When you roll the golden 

apple into one of the furrows, you elect the corresponding goddess.

This video shows the selection screen and all of the goddesses.

"Kallisti" (greek : to the most beautiful) was inscribed upon the golden apple by Eris, goddess of discord, who was not invited to the heavenly banquet in celebration of the marriage of Peleus and Thetis. This apple was thus meant as a chord of arduous dissent to ruin the banquet. Eris rolled the apple onto the table and witnessed its induced calamity. Hera, Athena and Aphrodite claimed the golden fruit. Unable to come to an agreement, they came to Paris as the fairest mortal. Each goddess undressed before him and then offered bribes. When he elected Ahprodite and won the heart of Helen, unbeknowst to him, Helen was already the wife of the Spartan king Menelaus. Paris sailed to Sparta and through force claimed Helen, which enacted the tragic Trojan War.

Kas žingsnį paimtas pajūrio akmuo, atvežtas namo yra laiko ir erdvės memorabilium. Namuose jis tampa kažkuo daugiau, nei dekoracija ir kažkuo daugiau, nei jisai buvo, gulėdamas tarpe daugybės kitų savo brolių. Uždaroje erdvėje jisai it rakto skylutė, pro kurią galima pamatyti smėlį ir putas, išgirsti žuvėdras ir bangas, matyti tolimus horizontus, kurie esti už daugybės kalnų ir slėnių. Akmuo siekia priminti, pasakoja apie savo tėvynę, kilmę ir jūsų abiejų pažintį.
