Posted 12 years agoYup well this is happening. Working on designs still before MFF. Working my bum off as full time book slave for a decent living wage.
Some lil updates.
Posted 12 years agoSetting up the GameDevFurs FA page, and working on the finishing touches with PonyFight?!
Other than that we are looking into how to make a full board game for Skydogs. Since the component count is getting a little out of hand we may look to use cards for a prototype. If anyone knows of any places I could get a big bit of cardboard that would be great, in the mean time I am using foamcore and hand drawn stuff.
Might have some art coming up for MFF and the Kickstarter / MFF Pirate Badges. Looking into making a promotional badges for people who come to our play tests for either Ponyfight?! Or Skydogs.

Posted 12 years agoStill looking for play testers for the Skydogs game at this time. I hope to work out the final kinks and get it on kickstarter within the next 4 months. Get the art done during that time, and hopefully get a few copies by MFF.
I am also drawing again, and will be working hard on making some new artwork to show off at MFF as well. So keep an eye open for Live streams and other things.

First Quarter Progress!
Posted 12 years agoSo far all the Skydogs stuff is really starting to take off. Not only am I working on this project however, but I am also designing two other games that we hope to get out later this year or the next after Skydogs.
For Preview sake.
PonyFight?! A card game with some dice where players dress up their pretty ponies and have them kick the fluff out of each other.
Henshin! Masked Hero Board Game: Relive your childhood Sentai / Rider dreams in this Pandemic like board game. Play with different scenarios . Such as keeping the city safe, or even fighting your fellow players.
I am also developing MFF 2013 Badge Pre Orders. To be made before the con and picked up or shipped out to you. Theme is confirmed as Pirates of Lake Michigan.
When these open up they will be $10 and will be hand drawn then digital color.
Also in Tigbun news! I am bored and want do do a furry Hanafuda (Flower Cards) Deck and am opening 48 Slots to be filled. Single Characters will be presented on one of the 4 cards of a month. I am going to have a free download of the cards if those slots fill up. Please note me if you are interested.
$10 per card - Hand drawn then digital color.
First come first serve on requests of certain cards or months. (Animals, Brights, Ribbons, Normals)

Kickstarter Progress
Posted 12 years agoGot a demo of what we are looking at right now without the video and tax info filled in yet. Got to get on those as soon as I can so we can get this set up for the public. Again this is taking a bit of time but I think that we should be able to finalize it soon. Note that all rewards are as of yet finalized as well and may change.

New Year!
Posted 12 years agoGot a little drunk over the holiday and got to thinking yesterday what I should post about.
1st of all we are playtesting Skydogs and finishing our alpha deck for Pony Fight. So look for a kickstarter project to start up here soon for Skydogs and as always if you want a playtesting kit please email me or skydogscardgame[at]gmail.com
2nd is that I need to post more artwork and do more streams. Going to start doing that on Weds. Nights and I could really use the tips.
3rd is that I am doing my best to be more active and get this page noticed among the net, so I am going to try doing more adult artwork. Like full on adult, not just mild fetish stuff.

Prospects.
Posted 13 years agoSome people have brought up the idea of making the world of Skydogs into something much larger than just a card game. Suggestions have been mainly about making a RPG based on it or a board game. But I have also heard comic and novels be brought up.
While these ideas are all great and they flatter me, I am just one person and can only work on so much at one time. I have however started building a full on concept bible of the Skydogs world if anyone is interested in a seeing it, it will be posted to the Skydogs website.
We are attempting to run another playtest today so I hope to have some good news on the new rules.

What is your motivation?
Posted 13 years agoTime to talk about one of the new mechanics that I have been playing around with on Skydogs.
Many deck building games let you buy everything from some laid out store, or a refreshing roster which moves as play progresses. And yes while we have these elements to buy our cast of crewmates to draft into your Mighty Pirate ™ crew, and missions also pass by progressively to game play.
But we wanted to ask the basic question. What motivates a person to become a Sky pirate on Cathian? It is glory and fame? Wealth and worldly goods? Notoriety and Infamy? Or Calamity and Discord? We have taken these themes and made them into 4 different play style decks which serve as your rewards and means of becoming a legend and winning the game.
In Skydogs when you take on missions they will give you options to choose which kind of play style reward cards to take into your deck. Inside each of the decks hold 15 victory point (VP) cards randomly inserted which is required to win, along with cards that offer tactics based on each motivation.
Fame builds your reputation with friendly Non-Empire governments around Cathian. This clout offers defensive tactics and ship parts to defend your good name.
Fortune represents your worldly wealth. From having a fancy new ship to having a quick burning Illuma engine, you will be dashing around your fellow players and getting all the gold to buy only the best crew for your ship.
Infamy is your fearsome reputation towards villainy and cruel ambitions. This often means working for the Empire some times, but also means you have the latest secret tech and the biggest cannons to rip your opposition into shreds.
Calamity is your ability to bring misfortune onto others and be a harbinger to where ever your ship travels. The tactics here are often dirty underhanded tricks to steal cards and hinder players while they are trying to complete their missions.
While each play style is different, you don't have to build a deck just off one strategy. Since VP is spread equally between all decks there is just as good of chance of getting your winning cards from two completely different decks.
This build also allows for us to expand more with further motivation decks and themes such as Liberty, Glory, and Duty, mixed in with Anarchy, Revenge, and Control. For different play styles and more VP to be either added in or swapped out with the base game.
And lets us expand more with a more pirates from Caithan, including themes like: Asian , Middle eastern, Savages (Pulp Style Dinos and Mythic Creatures), and Ghosts (And many more curses) And if we are more daring even including a full add on for the Empire expansion to make the threat all more real as players now face crews of Illuma powered auto-matrons lead by cold, deadly, killer, Captains.
Hope this helps give people more of an idea of what we are doing here. Wish us luck after we get the kickstarter up!

Skydogs Playtest blog
Posted 13 years agoToday we tried the new rules for the game. Started off good and then broke down after a while. Finding that two main functions are still a bit buggy. Missions are still to powerful and hard to beat, and if shuffled randomly don't leave enough variety for people to complete them. And gold is too hard to earn, which is something we are hoping to mend with the trend of buying lower powered cards.
Need to find someone with better experience with mechanics than myself, since it is numbers based they also need to be good at math. I happen to be alright at both, but honestly I have lots to work on still that maybe it is time to think of bringing someone else on to help. Right now the playtesters like the theme and the character ideas, and a few of the game functions. But the game breaks down after the first phase of missions. We are going to try lowering the numbers to make it easier, and making a few of the higher "tier" missions easier to do.
We are also considering adding a global effect or fortune and misfortune deck so that players might have issues or boons to help out during their turn.
Well those are the result this week. Hope to have a new revision update next week.

The evil commission, and Skydogs considerations.
Posted 13 years agoIn a world of deckbuilding games, there are many more coming out with many different themes. Marvel heroes, zombies, dominions.. What makes our Steam punk sky pirate, and furry game so different? Well that is simple, I have played many games of that type and am trying to do something new. And I hope that makes a difference in making an expandable card game, along with the "staff" I am building up to make it.
Also the art bug is biting and there should be more artwork coming to page. And with that being said I am announcing that the person to send me a screen shot of my 666th page view will get a free and open request for an adult themed picture. This will be my first real "porn" picture, as in intercourse. Something I haven't had much practice in drawing, but have been trying to do in my free and personal time.
So keep an eye open for the soon to be kickstarter for Skydogs, and my 666th page view if you would like my first porn picture.

Return of madness!
Posted 13 years agoYes I am still alive, just very busy with my new contract deal that I am working on lately.
Going to be making some artwork before MFF and see how much I have improved since last time. Also going to have to design some ads for Tigbun Games and Arts exciting soon the be out of development games.
Been working hard on pushing the card game into the new rule set and am building a new playtest deck based on the changes. So shortly after we hope to get through playtesting and hire on our artist to develop a card game the fandom will enjoy!
Wish us luck.

Open artist Casting Call!
Posted 13 years agoAlright here we are. We have started playtesting our game SkyDogs and the results for far are getting better. Now to tackle the issue of getting over 200 cards artwork made!
Please note me with some contact info, a portfolio of recent work or themed work about steampunk or pirate, or even technical drawings of ships or skyships. If you know any other artist please let them know about this event. This is a community based furry game that we hope to expand beyond the furry fandom and we will negotiate a price or take any charity you have for the cause of making this game a reality.
Remember, we here at Tigbun Arts need every bit of help we can get to make this game possible. The kickstarter will be up by the end of the month and the website kept to date with all other progress we complete. www.skydogsrule.wordpress.com

Stream Issues
Posted 13 years agoBeen wanting to get back online more often, but CMasseylost her contract already which kind of puts a hamper on our plan to get a new laptop that I could use to stream or work, or she would work off of.
Still working on getting an LLC for Tigbun Arts, and setting up the bank account for it so we can have a real company out of it when we start to get Skydogs out.
Right now we are playtesting and finalizing rules. But we will more than likely start an open casting call for artist here shortly. So if you want to be part of a furry card game or knows a friend that would be a good fit. Send me a note with some links of your best artwork.

Nervous!
Posted 13 years agoWorking hard on finishing concept drawings for the kickstarter game. The date is set for this weekend when we set up the final kickstarter and try to see how much support we get. I already have already started working on getting printer quotes as well, and am just all sorts of busy making this game work. Playtesting will also be starting soon and I have to key in the final tweets to the game system. More info to come as we work on this and I secure all the intellectual property rights.
Livestream due to be back.
Posted 13 years agoBeen fairly busy with the summer. Going to start getting back into streaming and working on artwork again. For people that are interested I am still doing requests during the stream, but I may be working on a few projects as well and be looking for advice and input as well. :3
Till then here are my dates I have in mind for this week.

Dreams.
Posted 13 years agoIt is ok to have a lot of dreams. I am not too young, but still young enough to wish for many different things. Now that I have started on my career path I think it is time to reflect on things I want to do with my life.
One - I would like to develop at least one game in my life and have it sell well.
Two- I want to have a successful life, and be happy with my wife.
Three- I want to become a good enough artist to be accepted as worth while art. and maybe join an APA like Megamorphics.
Four - Attend many conventions and give back to the communities that raised me.
Five - Have a sketchbook full of art from many of my favorite artists.
Only one way to get them, work hard, work harder. Wish me luck!

Posted 13 years agoGoing to be working on Reference sheets and one or two character drawings while I look for a good career job.

Graduated
Posted 13 years agoYeah I finally got my Degree. So now I am hitting hard at getting a decent job and am passing the time by drawing and chatting again. Hope to have a least a drawing every week posted and be online more often.
Progress Report
Posted 13 years agoDue to an issue with my old scanner I am trying to get my scans done at FedEx Kinko's soon. If I am unable to get decent scans I will start working digitally and get all the requests posted sometime in the next few months. Otherwise I am frantically working on my portfolio and getting ready for graduation in a few months. (March 22nd) After mid terms I should have a bit more free time from a few of my classes easing up on the workload for graduation students, not to mention to right swift kick in my own ass to try and complete all the requests in a timely manner.
