Thank you for giving my IB Math class a purpose. I’m going to start doing this whenever I get bored.

I have a cheap Palm Zire that I always have with me. I write down all kinds of ideas for levels and games whenever they come to me. It’s better than pen and paper because it’s easy to back up and it’s searchable and organized. I even have a drawing program I used to design all of the levels for Chronotron.

With the summer kicking in, I wish I could take my laptop outside to the park or garden and work.
Until then, pen and paper will have to suffice.

Pen and paper for levels, always!

And 50! jeez, I may have to rethink projected level numbers on my latest ‘most-definitely-not-one-week’ game…

With pen and paper you get to draw what really comes to your mind… and that’s a key to more production in less time.

In animation and character design, pen and paper roughs still are quite useful.

Just don’t get carried away and keep designing stuff while you should already be doing something else! Teachers and wives aren’t always that kind!
