This week the crew over at Push Button Labs got their very capable hands on The Incredible Machine IP, which is fitting because Jeff Tunnell was the one of the original designers and producer on the game. PBL has released a bundled pack of the various incarnations of the game on GOG.com

Here is another quick sketch in the same style as some of my recent color concepts. This one was about two hours, but I spent way too much of that screwing around with the ground around the base of the rock.

Autumn has arrived in Eugene and the trees are beginning to drop their leaves. Time sure does slip by fast when you’re having fun.  I’m gonna a have to switch to more appropriate subject matter or at least a Fall color palette, as the season is beginning to grow on me.

Seems fitting since Chief Executive Otter Damon Syle was a co founder Dynamix, the original developer.

Here’s a pic from one of my projects to commemorate the occasion.

Red Baron brings back some great memories, but I’m talking way back.

I remember being obsessed with the original Red Baron, a vector graphic stand up arcade game from 1979 or 80, I’m dating myself now aren’t I?

For one sweltering hot Virgina summer I would save up my quarters and run across the neighborhood to the “Tiny Giant” convenience store every chance I could get and battle zeppelins and biplanes in the clear blue sky of the green vector world that was Red Baron.   …That was before the intertubes took over the world.

Crazy how times flies, and the twist and turns life takes isn’t it?
