CS 1107 Assignment: Art Design in Independent Projects

Good evening! Set to non-stock jazz music this time, the above Animoto film is a video collage of still images from independently-constructed video games, and serves as a picture of how art and gameplay styles can vary in profound ways between projects of varying size and shape. Even in the realm of larger games (like World of Goo and AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!!), every example was made with a small team driven by their own internal passion to create, unsubsidized by corporate dollars. I don't like how the names of each game's creator(s) have been clipped off in processing, but it'll have to do now; a comprehensive link list will be coming later.

In other news regarding my personal development as a game creator, progress has been incredibly slow -- though only because I've been spending so much time studying for the three midterms which have passed! My manual is still here, waiting to be opened; all it's going to take is a little push.
