Rickety Games: Rickety Rat lives
http://ricketyrat.blogspot.com/2011/05/rickety-rat-lives.html
A blog about cartoons, noir, and boardgames! Monday, May 2, 2011. So much stuff has been going on. Mostly I've been preoccupied with some other comics. But this week I shall have progress! First off, I've been reworking the Rickety Rat board game: A rickety road to the top. Don't want to flesh it out too. On the animation front, I have. Also seriously thinking retooling the blog design. Rickety road to the top. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Playtested boardgame 2.0! View my complete profile.

Rickety Games: August 2010
http://ricketyrat.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
A blog about cartoons, noir, and boardgames! Friday, August 27, 2010. I'm in the process of making my new Boardgame! It's about the perilous road to stardom and the objective is to take your character all the way from the Rock Bottom Bar to the Tippity Top Theatre before anyone else does! And if you think I'm not working on the animation anymore, you sir are wrong! I'm having an interesting time providing textures for al of the characters' clothing. I should have more character sheets next week along...

Rickety Games: playtested boardgame 2.0!
http://ricketyrat.blogspot.com/2011/05/playtested-boardgame-20.html
A blog about cartoons, noir, and boardgames! Monday, May 16, 2011. Playtested boardgame 2.0! I finally got to playtest the new version of the boardgame! For that), but it was tough keeping up on all of them and found myself being lenient on some of the skeletons/crooked helpers because I didn't want to discourage the new players. Not a good sign. I also had the idea that you would have to choose a speciality at the beginning of the game, (singing, dancing, acting, joke telling, arts, etc.) and each p...

Rickety Games: A Rickety Road to the Top Version 2.0
http://ricketyrat.blogspot.com/2011/05/rickety-road-to-top-version-20.html
A blog about cartoons, noir, and boardgames! Friday, May 6, 2011. A Rickety Road to the Top Version 2.0. Got some new stuff from the board game for ya! It's basically the same premise as before, become the big star before anyone else can, but instead of getting from one end of the board to the other, you have to get to the middle. Or, the top theatre, which is in the middle. Bear with me. You can still go to jail, but you only lose a fame token and a turn or two, then you can go right back up to where yo...

Rickety Games: July 2010
http://ricketyrat.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
A blog about cartoons, noir, and boardgames! Friday, July 16, 2010. It's been awhile since I've had a post, but I return bearing progress! I finally finished the animatic of the opening title sequence. Check it out! What the hell went pop? What are they doing to this poor guy? Was that a frying pan I heard? Also, the music is Big Shell West Bristol. From the amazing BenCousins. I think I'll ace the posters. Not that I won't do them, but maybe one a week. There's too many to catch up on. And I'm REALLY le...

Rickety Games: The Characters
http://ricketyrat.blogspot.com/p/characters.html
A blog about cartoons, noir, and boardgames! Rickety Rat is the star of his own show; at least that's what he tells himself. He got his big break on Rascals' Funtime Minstrel Show. But was adored by the public and got his own show. He got into a relationship with Roofie for the public but was secretly having a love affair with Dolly Duck. It was this over extending that was his downfall. Rascals used to have his own show, Rascals Funtime Minstrel Show. But that all changed when a young and upcoming Ricke...

Rickety Games: December 2010
http://ricketyrat.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
A blog about cartoons, noir, and boardgames! Wednesday, December 15, 2010. Haven't made a post on the animation in awhile. Frankly, I haven't really been working on it, but I just started rewriting the script and I've started to dabble in background design! I tried five different approaches and put Stumbles in to see how it would look with the flash characters. I started with pen. I like these shading effects and it has a stark black and white look, but it just makes the characters look out of place.

Rickety Games: October 2012
http://ricketyrat.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
A blog about cartoons, noir, and boardgames! Friday, October 26, 2012. Rickety Rat is dead, long live Rickety Games! Ok, I am calling it. The Rickety Rat animation is dead. After completing the last animatic so long ago, I recognized the script needs major work and it's way too long to animate already, and I haven't even thought about the animation in a year, so I am saying it's dead. Remember that boardgame I was making as promotional material for the animation? But playing through, there are any number...
