Thank you!

You are right, but I thought the pale and yellowish colors fit with the part of the puzzle cubes in the game's story: they have been lost during the childhood and the player leads them back to the narrator who tells stories from the time when he lost them.

From another side, I try to avoid the common candy-like look of family and child games.

About the demo, again.
There has been added a lot of features and levels in the game since we've made that demo, but, nevertheless, the demo still shows a lot of the feeling and gameplay of the game as whole.

Ah ok,
well I guess then there is no need to polish it as it should fit that style perfectly.

Small update! More a joke than actually a new feature:
It was a test: I used the bones of the protagonists with the separated hands and feet for a model with a mantle like clothing.

Monster Monks!


An mpg of about 3 mb.

BTW. as already posted in Morbius:
at Wednesday is the celebration of the Deutscher Entwicklerpreis and Gamesload Newcomer Award in Essen!
And Running Food is one of the participants!

Your 'joke' fun piece is cool. love the attitude it expresses It has inspired me to adapt a version for my project

I prefer the cube with the mushroom sombrero and the hedgehog for a twist in the general opinion.

I used to have such puzzle cubes when I was a kid and the images on those cubes were exactly the style of your puzzle piece so I guess it is pretty good... like the graphic style anyway.

Like I told you before.. I really love this project for its poetic notion (referring to the background story).

Good luck for the award

@ Nems:
If you could use the model to modify it for your purposes let me know!
Probably, it is way to lowpoly and not accurately animated for a realistic style. But, who knows.

@ rincewind:
That's great! Thank you very much! It always is a big motivation to hear that someone likes what you do!
Thank you for your help, too!
I'll keep you informed!

Thanks Pappenheimer, it really suits this project as is so I will reconstruct as a humanoid.
Like every one else, I am hanging out for the demo as the 'Movement and interaction tutorial' actually started me off in developing for a unique project 4 or 5 years ago

Your diary is awesome too and the 'look and feel' in this project is evolving nicely as well.

Very nice image -you got skills.

Thanks bupaje! I saw your flash animations some time ago in a blog, I liked them very much.

Here are other shots of the monster monk:



And the following is a pic of a game for kids with the game mechanic of Running Food. I showed already a similar level, but its collision blocks were still too complicating for absolutely safe collisions.
This is a combination of the shadowmapped models with extremly simplified rectangled blocks for collision.
The trees in the background are sprites made of a screenshot of a shadowmapped scene.

Now thats what I want my scenes to look like, beutifull
