How to write a game (part 3)
So, four main characters with about ten actions and ten to twenty frames of motion for each.. plus all the baddies.. weapons.. Ahem.. HOW many drawings would we need? And these need to be done by when?
Lesson learned: Never underestimate the time your artwork will need to get created.
We've hit the reset button, and are working on a game with much smaller graphical scope. :-)

Interesting series of articles... more details would be interesting, such as "was going to have the Bob character's leg fall off, but chose not to..."
