Maker Camp on YouTube

Here is our little segment from Maker Camp today:

Had a couple of glitches, but everything turned out ok. I really rushed out a super rough demo of drawing. I'm a really loose and lazy artist, but even this was a bit too loose for my taste.... But got it out quickly an idea of a character, which was the point of the demo :)

MAKE also posted a 3D color print of Jet Vac compared to production toy:

Maker Camp on Google+

I'm going to be a guest on the last week of Maker Camp on Theoretical Thursday. To join, just follow MAKE on Google+ and tune in Thursday, Aug 23 at noon

Blake Maloof will be talking about game design for video games, as well as board games. Board games are an easy way to get started in game design, without needing special tools and skills. I'll help contribute a little by showing how artists and designers typically work together, but this will primarily be about game design. It should be really fun, I'm learning a lot about the magic of fun in games from Blake, it's fascinating to learn the theories behind what makes a great game. Also check out the rest of the week, lots of fun hangouts!
