Hello!

First off, Shader Sandwich is having a slight delay thanks to some rather rubbish Unity 5 bugs :(. The new Unity5 shader compiler really is a piece of

Anyways! I've got a new home page! It's got some of the stuff I've been doing, and also some future things :).

First things first, you may have noticed Morte Grimm is no longer anywhere on the site. I'll say it straight, I probably won't ever end up making it. I've got a few reasons for that though. First off, I am completely sick of Unity, and programming in general. Shader Sandwich has sucked the life out of me in that respect, so I'd prefer not to continue, at least for a little while XD. Morte Grimm also had a rather complex story, and.... I lost it. I have no idea where I kept it, nor what it contained :D. Sooo yeah, no more Morte Grimm, sorry :(.

Now for what's on it! There's the two house assets I've posted on the Unity Asset store, Shader Sandwich, and something I've been working on in secret called Charlies Rainy Day. I'm sure most of you know what Shader Sandwich is, but if not just check out a few of the previous posts, I made a video of it :). The page for Shader Sandwich will be coming soon, I've just got to make a few more demo shots. Here's a picture of it though:


As for Charlies Rainy Day, the reason I've kept it secret for a while is because I wasn't sure I was going to do it, but since I'd prefer not to program for a while I though it was the perfect time to raise it up :D.

Charlies Rainy Day (CRD) would be an animated web series of around 8-10 episodes, around 10 minutes each. I've wanted to do an educational series with a dark twist for a while, and have put at least 30 hours in total doing world and character building. I think I've got a fairly special idea here and would love to be able to run with it.

Charlies Rainy Day would focus on a boy named...Roger! Just kidding, Charlie, who lives in a strange world filled with living raindrops, evil scientists and giant world ending plugs. However, this world is not the whole story, and around the edges is a dark mystery that Charlie and the viewers would slowly decipher. Everything in the world is a metaphor with Charlie right in the middle. Everything is real, and yet none of it is. The series would cover topics like the existence and meaning of a consciousness, while also being highly educational, and fairly safe viewing for kids. I've tried to state this fairly generally to avoid spoilers, but hopefully that sets the scene slightly XD.

I made a fairly rubbish three minute pilot episode for school, however it's definitely non-canon and isn't that great. If I go ahead with this fully, I'll dedicate myself to ensure it's of really good quality, spending a month to two months on each episode. Here's some pictures of the pilot though, to get a feel for "one" of the art styles:



Anyway, sorry for the fairly dry post, and hopefully Shader Sandwich is completed eventually XD. See you soon? Maybe? Bye!
