My Work

some random doodles today... looks like i need more practice with the drawing tablet. 

Found a new infinite canvas drawing tool for mac.. i was an avid user of mypaint, an opensource project which provides infinite canvas and is pretty good on windows and linux. On mac you will need to install macports which seems to be a little problematic .. as in i couldnt' get it to work when i tried today so i started looking for a native mac app. I found a bunch of them but the one which is free and is pretty good to use is Mischief. Here is a drawing i made in it, i used wacom bamboo to draw after a while, i used gimp to edit the exported png from mischief. Hope you like it.

Wanted to experiment with simple face and this what I ended up with.

I've been planning on improving the lolwars game so it looks better on the mobile in portrait mode. To get this done we had to redesign the card layout and also think about usability of the design for easily clicking on the stats that matter. So Here are the designs i made for the cards The idea was to try and keep the focus on the stats.. each of these designs has it's own merits but the important thing is to keep trying.. :) Most of the Chinese artists.. use the red and gold combination and i love it, the fourth option is me trying to emulate that same color scheme. I've learnt a bunch of things in inkscape recently and have been using them for the card design. Hopefully ill' get better at this.

Have you ever had a discussion about the game that you just played?..how about that awesome game where you took down a bunch of enemies or turrets..or provided amazing support to your team? Well we have built a small trump card game with the data from the last couple of games that you played in league of legends. We built this for the api challenge that has started recently, asking developers to build some apps using the api they provide to expose the user/game data to other apps. You can see it in action here If you wish to try it out..have a go at it.. Note that this is still a proof of concept with a bunch of use cases still not handled... You should be able to play with your friends without problems though. You can play LoL Wars If you would like to contribute to the project Head to github project

The Godot engine is a pretty good alternative for any of the 2D/3D open source engines out there. One if the features that got me excited about the engine was the Html5 support. With one click of the button you can export the game onto any of the platforms android, iOS, mac, Linux and html5. The only problem... The h5 exporter didn't work right out of the box for 1.0 version of Godot. I looked at it and was unable to figure out what was going on. I searched their forums, Facebook page and the only answer I got was that it was broken and that the devs knew about it. The html5 exporter was based on emscripten . I downloaded the source code and tried to compile for h5. The platforms is described as JavaScript. The compilation was working fine but linking not so much. It would report a lot of unresolved symbols .. The basic things like gd script were not working. I had to look up how scons worked. Had to figure out why the existing build wasn't working. ... Then I came ac...
