It&#8217;s Monday, so here I am bringing you up to date with what&#8217;s been up in Gibbous land (spoilers: a lot of work!) .<\/p>\n<p>First of all, Friday I did a first-ever stream where I started a background for Gibbous from scratch. I usually start streaming when I&#8217;m already in the rendering phase, because usually the sketching, looking up references etc. are not that exciting, but this particular background didn&#8217;t really need research so it was a go.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a very sped up version of that stream for your enjoyment:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Timelapse: Painting A Background From Scratch!\" width=\"525\" height=\"295\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/oY-jLXTDChg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&#8230;and, if you really want to go in depth and watch the entire 3 hour stream, you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=gMEytQt7wRw\"><strong>can do that over here.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Other than that, I&#8217;m still heavy into painting backgrounds. This week-end was the first one I finally took my kick-ass borrowed Cintiq 22HD home, so it was super-productive: took a background from 50% to completion, and another one from about 5% to 30% complete. Good week-end, nice progress!<\/p>\n<p>Cami has since started working on the case file caricatures of the backers, and I&#8217;m loving the ideas that people came up with for their dossiers &#8211; some of them seriously cracked me up.<\/p>\n<p>And while all this is going on, Nicu is continuing to implement complete rooms into the game, adding custom light and shadows and tweaking them, and we&#8217;re putting in the puzzles together. Gibbous is becoming more and more of a real game each and every day, and we couldn&#8217;t be more excited.<\/p>\n<p>Well, that&#8217;s about it for me. I only slept around 10 hours this week-end, so it&#8217;s time for me to go get my 3rd big-ass cup of coffee for the day and return to doing what I love most.<\/p>\n<p>But before I do that, there&#8217;s a blog I wanted to mention. If you&#8217;re a fan of adventure game art -&#8216;course you are! &#8211; you&#8217;re probably a fan of the excellent Wadjet Eye Games, makers of the Blackwell Legacy and so on.<\/p>\n<p>Well, Ben 304, their super-talented artist, <a href=\"http:\/\/ben304.blogspot.ro\/\"><strong>has a blog of his own<\/strong><\/a> where he features and analyzes adventure game art. \u00a0I think it makes for a fascinating read, be you an artist or a player of these games, and I&#8217;m thankful he&#8217;s taking the time to research and write it. Don&#8217;t miss out on it, it&#8217;s great stuff.<\/p>\n<p>See you guys next post!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What&#8217;s up everybody!
