I’m working on a top-down fast-paced shooter where you draw your character and fight against others players drawings.
Let’s call it: ARTillery
This is in its veryearly stages but I hope it interests any artist or gamers out there.
I’ll be posting any progress I make on the game and I might even ask for some suggestions time to time.
Thank you for reading my pitch, announcement, Ted Talk, thing?
