A Casual Game From Day One To Launch

Posted by Zonk on Friday January 6, 2006 @08:58AM from the games-take-lots-of-art dept.

Gamasutra has a feature looking at the casual game Bonnie's Bookstore, and its journey from concept to completion. From the article: "To my surprise, even with the unconventional art-style, the StoryBook concept was getting great responses from people I showed it to. However, the method by which the storybook concept was produced, hand-painted watercolor, would not scale up enough to allow me to make my targeted 40 backgrounds in a targeted 2-3 month window (we ended up with 50 backgrounds, plus other art, in a 4.5 month window). So I commissioned another artist who had contacted me, Von Caberte, to try his hand at the storybook style, using a somewhat different technique."

  Parent would be a troll, but truth is an absolute defense. This made for a perfectly fine blog post, but a terrible article: a few paragraphs about how the art was commissioned for the game? Given the title, I expected a full after-action on the development of the game, not just the backboard paintings.
