One of those animated projects I've been keeping an eye on is An Elysian Tail, an animated film that has been in production for many years but as it is being done by just one person I think that can be forgiven.
But not only making an animated film, Dean Dodrill has also created a game, with only outside help on the score. Everything else, art, animation and programming has been done by him. And good lord is it pretty!
It won Microsoft's Dream-Build-Play competition. Not having an X Box I won't be able to play this which makes me sad, the closest I'm going to get is looking at the footage on youtube. But that animation is just gorgeous, and it's been animated by hand. Take that 3d animation!
I'm struggling with that happiness meme because my face is hurting. Damn toothache! I went to the dentists today but as he couldn't see anything obviously wrong beyond a hairline crack he can't do anything about yet because it's not infected, I was just sent away to get some sensitive toothpaste and see if that helps. I'm going to go take some heavy duty painkillers, if that helps that'll make me happy.
