For one to be truly creative, a
cheap means of exploring and
discarding ideas is essential.
Artists rely on sketches to
inspire and refine their thoughts
before committing their creations
to paper, paint, crayon or one of
the numerous other mediums.
Game creators, for all their
time and money spent in bringing
an idea to life, have no such
sketching process. Even the giants
in the game industry use primitive
tools like cardboard cut-outs and
photo montages to express their
game design and game play ideas to
other members of the team.
To alleviate this state of
affairs, we introduce Sketch-
It-Up!, an industry oriented,
student-pitched project. Using this tool,
complex ideas can be easily and
cheaply sketched. The inbuilt
library of assets lets you hit the
ground running and complex AI has
been done away with and replaced
by something vastly superior –
human puppeteers! By its very
nature, showing off your game
ideas to someone on the other side
of the world is as easy as Connect
and Load.
