Monthly Archives: November 2014. November 20, 2014 · 1:48 pm. All publicity’s good publicity? It has come to my attention that cracked.com has included The Samaritan Paradox on a list of The 5 most unreasonably difficult video game puzzles ever. As a long-time reader and fan of Cracked, I’m naturally honoured by this inclusion. All things considered, the game is in good company (look at previous articles on the same topic to find games like The Jongest Journey featured) so I’m not bummed at all. How Stra...

If anyone’s played TSP and is curious about certain references, I will save you some researching trouble in this blog entry. On good and evil. Most references in the game are about the good vs evil dichotomy. Many real books mentioned, like The Dwarf. Explore the evil aspect of the human nature, but there are also slightly more obscure clues and easter eggs hidden throughout the game. Inside the church, there’s a ...

Monthly Archives: July 2015. July 16, 2015 · 7:51 pm. I’m pretty sure that the next game will be 640×400, so I’m practising that kind of painting at the moment. It may not seem like much of a difference to work with that resolution instead of 320×200, but it’s actually very different (aside from the fact that it’s four times the canvas to fill…). In hindsight, I guess I could have planned the picture so that more of the central object, the giant mine truck, got some highlights, to make it slightly more i...

Monthly Archives: August 2014. August 8, 2014 · 10:22 pm. A little portrait tutorial. Alright, so I’m currently re-painting some character portraits for the Steam badges. I thought I could show you the steps I take to make the refined versions. 1 This is the original picture up-scaled to the target size of 186×204. Obviously, simply enlarging it won’t do; we have tons of restoration to do. Remember that the contrasts are lower on the side that isn’t hit by direct light; you can’t just add mor...5 Alright...

Monthly Archives: July 2014. July 30, 2014 · 1:39 pm. Have done some digital painting lately, to provide art assets for the Steam trading cards. Yes, sorry for the delay, everyone, but I’ve been away a lot this summer, and painting portraits take time, even though it’s still not exactly high res per see – but still lots more pixels than the original in-game talking portraits….

Monthly Archives: April 2015. April 18, 2015 · 11:41 am. Here’s a collage of all the locations in The Samaritan Paradox. These make up almost all backgrounds; I’ve excluded cut scene backdrops, close-ups (maps, chess boards, riddles etc) and intro-outro screens etc. Also, many of the outdoor locations have day/night/evening versions that only got one version included. It’s made in 50% size. Enjoy:. Fiction in the Machine. El Blog de las aventuras gráficas. GoT – analysis of episode 9.
