Clyde will (maybe) look like this

I just thought I'll share some concept art for Clyde. The line drawing was made by a friend, the top-class illustrator Bernadette Moens.


Her design was good but the style was too descriptive and rough, so I tried to simplify it (coloured versions are mine).




We're still in the concept phase! I won't guarantee that he will look like this in the end!

The White Cloud's Chronicles

Yes, this game - and the blog itself - is all about the chronicles of the famous White Cloud. Who's this White Cloud I'm talking about? You'll going to know.
White Cloud is the nickname of Clyde Cleveland, a now old skilled pilot of the war between Prusstonia and the small shoe-makers nation of Bootaly. He flies a glorious Fokker Somedecker, a red triplane with white clouds on top of the wings, which earned his famous nickname. He's actually quite apt at flying, even if he wasn't good at the flying academy exams back in 1919.
He's also a bit lazy, for he fought only three months in the World War One and a Half, in 1921, and then retired to a tranquil countryside life.
As we said in the opening post, war is coming again, and this time it's knocking directly at Clyde's door.

I want to post a first bit of something from the game, a screenshot from Clyde's airplane in the iPhone itself, just to prove that we are serious about it. Click on the image to see it bigger!

The story so far

"After fighting the Great War, I need to rest. I will live here in my rural house, near Prusstonia City. I will fly my glorious Fokker only for the purpose of slow, calm pleasure flights around the beautiful surrounding countryside."

These were the words of the pluri-decorated World War I fighter pilot Clyde Cleveland, before he retired into his home to live a peaceful life.
What he calls the 'Great War' is better known as the 'Not-so-big War' of 1921. In fact, compared to World War I, the War that Clyde talks about is not so big. Anyway, what was I talking about?...
Clyde is old now, his aerial fights are only a distant memory now. But things are about to change...
