So the past week or so, I’ve started reading the core rulebook of Vampires: The Masquerade 5th Edition. I kind of got inspired to implement this system into the game after watching: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=piSEjaBZ5SY<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I do have to admit that the book itself has a treasure trove of information to tickle my imagination for setting up the scenarios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That said, I’ve been making some assets for the cards necessary for a character creation portion of the game. These were .xcf files created in GIMP (which is free software) using Font Awesome icons, in the general style of Magic: The Gathering cards. Here’s a few examples, below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The general idea is to make them imagebuttons or imagemaps, similar to how Eva Kiss does some of the selections in her game, Our Red String.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, I’ve been thinking of this character creation portion, and my general intent with it is to have a scene where either a teacher from Alexis’s school or Alexis herself conducts a quiz to ask the main character\/Sam about the circumstances of his university time away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This scene would take place after Sam undertakes two to three initial missions for the gang. (I’m thinking the Ruby delivery and working with Steve to takeover Jeremy’s porn studio.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That way, some of the choices or skills could be a little bit constrained\/sieved and predetermined, depending on how the player character chooses to undertake those missions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apart from this work, I’ve been practicing, watching Dreamlight videos, and studying lighting in DAZ. I hope to improve more on my scene composition before I post some additional work on the render front.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
