Hello everyone, I wrote a quick article on some thoughts I had about providing constructive criticsm. Since we are in the media age, a lot of artwork is shared and a lot of feedback goes back and forth. I decided to elaborate on some experiences of mine, and provide some feedback that i'd thought i'd share in terms of…
Not too long ago, a good friend of mine by the name of Nicolas struck up a conversation with me about the general trend of online gaming. Sure, there were always big block buster titles to play, and yeah, they played well. But there wasn't really a lot to make each one stand out from the crowd amongst the rest. The phrase…
EDIT 06/24/16: After two weeks, it became increasingly clear to me that moving toward a rich district was not the right thing to do. So I've scrapped the idea of an Indian/Scandinavian style - not to say it will never get done, but it definitely won't be part of this pack. However, I've been hard at work polishing…

She pulled her cloak close hiding her armor. Her long white hair was carefully tucked under her hood. As much as she tried to blend in there was no getting around…
The next part of the game is done! There are a lot of things to mention on this update, and I added new game builds here: http://www.artoflightandmotion.com/downloads First thing is I had ideas for another poem, as well as a few others that aren’t quite done yet.
