It's intended to be a showcase of works in progress and the occasional discussion of issues in the art, design and animation industries.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13483907617915357748noreply@blogger.comBlogger261125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10443775.post-34449084057918376302018-08-11T15:47:00.004-07:002018-08-11T15:47:49.210-07:00Always pays to re-inspect code!... particularly when it comes to Google Chart API's.<br />
<br />
I'm always checking in on the live versions of my example portfolio sites and I recently came across a page with a chart that was failing to load. Ultimately, I traced it back to an error in the fetched data set that had ultimately been corrected.<br />
<br />
js file updated and uploaded to GitHub.<br />

Back in business!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13483907617915357748noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10443775.post-18969461401886754142018-08-10T19:22:00.000-07:002018-08-11T01:04:24.943-07:00UPDATE: LinkedIn, Portfolio site and...writing samples!Long hot summer so far, but I've been working on a few small side projects while gearing up for the Fall.<br />
<br />
During some of this down time I've been making some tweaks to my <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/neilschnepf/" target="_blank">LinkedIn profile</a>, including links back to my <a href="http://25-hourday.com/" target="_blank">portfolio site (25HD)</a> as well as a new collection of writing samples hosted on <a href="https://nschnepf.journoportfolio.com/" target="_blank">journoportfolio.com.</a><br />
<br />
The new site gathers together a series of technical and creative writing pieces I've composed over the last few years, including several that were researched during my Certificate program at UW.<br />
<br />
On the technical side, it was an interesting bit of a challenge to hack my portfolio site so that I could control the image displayed when shared to LinkedIn. Being a WordPress template, I had no direct access to the site meta tags, but I discovered that a third-party plug-in (<i>Head Meta Data</i>) <b>would </b>allow me to implement my own in addition to the ones that were already present. LinkedIn is pretty up front about what meta tags are necessary for proper social media sharing to their site, so it was just a matter of finding the direct URL for the graphic I wanted to use. After allowing some time for propagation, I was able to attach a link for 25HD to my LinkedIn profile using the intended image.<br />
<br />
Fortunately, journoportfolio had this all covered, and actually provides a section in their configuration section for what image and/or text to display for social media sharing.<br />
<br />
Again, I wanted to make mention of a great royalty-free image site <a href="http://unsplash.com/" target="_blank">unsplash.com</a> that I utilized for the writing samples portfolio. Great selection of high-quality images, free to use with attribution. I would like to take the opportunity here to acknowledge the photographers who provided the images for my site: Nathaniel Shuman, Dimitri Popov, Alexander Andrews, Joanna Kosinska, and Jess Waters.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13483907617915357748noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10443775.post-5543419341685215222018-06-21T21:44:00.003-07:002018-06-21T21:45:20.174-07:00UW Reception<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It feels like we've been at this forever, but the long road is nearly at an end. And then... the next journey begins!<br />
We just received word today that our new card game, Black Hands, is about to ship!<br />
<br />
So, in about 2-3 weeks, we'll partying it up with a 1000 or so boxes of our new game.<br />

<br />
A little over a month ago now, I met with some local developers to discuss an array of possible projects. One of those looks like its bearing fruit.<br />
<br />
The publisher will be making a formal announcement later on this month, so I'll be back with the official word in a couple of weeks!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13483907617915357748noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10443775.post-50059363814361151722016-02-29T08:34:00.004-08:002016-02-29T08:34:51.730-08:00Pre-press printing of Black Hands!Well, hey!

<br />
Finally! After all these months, we've finally gotten everything straightened out with the printers.<br />
It's definitely been ... a learning experience. :)<br />
<br />
Our great, fun little card game, Black Hands of Hathoway will be showing up at our doors tomorrow<br />
morning!<br />
<br />
We'll definitely be posting pics and maybe an unboxing video.

<br />
Fingers crossed, we should have these guys in a week or so!<br />
<br />
Really excited to see our first professional print run.<br />
<br />
We're also hoping to put together an unboxing video, so we might have more to share soon!<br />

Who would have thought?<br />
<br />
But I'm happy to report another milestone on <a href="https://twitter.com/tableflipbg" target="_blank">Twitter</a> for Table Flip Board Games! 200 followers!<br />
It's not a lot, but it is for us, just a small collection of artists, designers and game enthusiasts.<br />
<br />
Thanks again to everyone for all of your wonderful support!<br />
Just a couple of months away now from our first release!<br />
<br />
We should have our first prototypes from Panda in a couple of weeks. Really excited to see the new professional packaging and printing. We've come a long with in just a year's time.<br />
Looking forward to some new game dev as well in the coming months.<br />
<br />
On the personal front, I'm continuing to learn C# and Unity for the mobile version of Black Hands.<br />
Glad that Fall's finally here too. It's been a seemingly endless Summer here in Seattle.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13483907617915357748noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10443775.post-76884628718019374312015-09-01T13:36:00.000-07:002015-09-01T13:36:13.592-07:00September UPDATE: new box artWe won't have the proofs back from Panda for a while yet, but here's a quick taste of my new box design for Black Hands!<br />

<br />
Discussions with Panda have taken far longer than initially expected. What we'd thought would be a simple issue regarding the size of the packaging has turned into a fairly extensive delay.<br />
Hopefully, we'll be able to resolve this early next week in a Skype call.<br />
Once we've nailed down the dimensions of the box (the initial quote was for a single-deck width box),<br />
it should only take us a couple of days to to finalize the art since everything else has been prepped and uploaded to Panda.<br />
So, keep your fingers crossed! We're in the home stretch.<br />
<br />
Our <a href="https://twitter.com/tableflipbg" target="_blank">Twitter </a>audience has been steadily growing and we've almost reached 200 followers.<br />
So, once we get Black Hands out there, we'll have a good group of interested and supportive people to get the word out too.<br />
<br />
On the personal front, more C#. Having a great time even with only being able to sneak in just a few hours every day.<br />
<br />
Hopefully, more info to report soon!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13483907617915357748noreply@blogger.com0
