Been A While

Post by Tastyrice »

Not many of you will remember me, but I used to work on Egoboo back during the Zippy days. It's been a while and I am glad to see that Egoboo is still alive and running :). Anyways just wanted to say hey to the community. I remember all the long hard nights texturing skins and moving vertexes. Egoboo was one of the very first games I spent time on developing content for and actually being part of a community. :) I really miss those times and seeing the old community got me inspired to sketch up a little something for the community. It's a bit of some fan/concept art work. Sorry if I changed the Egoboo art style a little :P.

Wish you luck on all your future en devours you guys. Keep up the great work. Who knows you might be seeing more of me in the near future :).

Anyway, even though I don't know you, welcome back. :P

I don't think we know each other already, but whatever. Welcome back to the community, I guess. Have a cookie! :cookie:

Many of us came in the days of the Resurrection Forums, the Informe Forums, or even these forums.
Welcome back, and have a lightbulb as well. :idea:

Welcome to the forums! I don't know the gift custom from the zippy forum, so...

Welcome to the forums! Have a cookie :cookie: and a lightbulb :idea: and a happy fencer with an electric anvil on his head doing the limbo! :teach:
Playing brawl. Not too well, unforunately.

Since when did the happy fencer with an electric anvil on his head do the limbo?
Also, why don't you give him a moose?

Edit: The Zippy Forums look a lot like these forums! :o

Thanks for all the welcome :)
Also Zefz I don't know if you remember Spyro but I used to work with him a lot back in the day.
Anyways did a quick sketch of some environments and some sort of enemy character thing.

I've even heard of Spyro... I'm sure Zefz remembers. Also, I agree with AoD. Your drawings are great.

Well glad to hear a lot of you know who Spyro was. Is he still active by any chance? Anyways time to cut the 30 min kid sketches out and time for the more serious stuff. I remember Spyro writing a draft about what really motivates people to do work. One of the key components is either a programer making some progress that motivates the artist to create more assetse or artists creating assets the inspires programmers to make progress. This would be the latter. Some more serious sketches that will hopefully motivate and create progress in Egoboo.
