Caster Fan Art

Here’s a little fan art I received from Ruairi Flynn (jhammo52). He used some of the sketches found here (http://www.casterthegame.com/caster_sketches/) as a base.

Great stuff!

He also has some great videos for Caster found here:

New Character for Caster

elecorn — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 20:50:47 +0000

When I first designed Caster, I wanted to have the option to play as a male or female character. You can see that from these designs made in 2004.

Here’s a little run sequence I just finished for the new character in Caster.

I plan to include the new character in the next update on iPhone.

The character will of course also be available when I update the Desktop versions as well.

Thanks!

Caster – Lydonia Chronicles: Music Video Contest

elecorn — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 18:37:49 +0000

To celebrate the upcoming release of Caster Episode 2, I have asked famed video game rapper Random (aka Mega Ran) (www.megaran.com) to record a new theme:

Caster – Random (right click to Save As to your desktop).

I am looking to you awesome player/game videographers to put a sweet Caster vid to this score. So I am holding a competition to create a dynamite music video to accompany the theme song. The competition starts today and lasts through the end of July. I will choose several finalists and let Caster enthusiasts vote on a winner!

Winner Receives:

Custom made Caster t-shirt
Piece of original Caster artwork
Credit in the game
Notoriety of having their music video used as promotional material and the intro for the iPhone version of the game.

Qualified Entrants Receive:

Caster iPhone or desktop wallpaper

Rules:

You must only use Caster art or other art that you have a license to use.
You may add additional sound effects, but they should not obscure the base music track.
Keep it clean / family friendly.
Use the entire song.
Use the Caster title in the first part of the video.

Suggestions:

Fast action.
Showing off the different attacks and abilities in the game.
Something that fits with the song.
Please use a high quality video compression scheme that is a fairly standard format.

When you have something ready that you’d like to submit, just e-mail me a link to where I can download the video (like a file share website) or write me to obtain access to my FTP server.

And that’s it! Have fun! I’m excited to see what you come up with!

Let me know if you have any questions:

Caster on iPhone Video

I was feeling a bit sick today, but the entire day was not a complete wash.

I went ahead and video taped me playing a level of Caster on the iPhone. It should be out in April. Until then, enjoy!
