Line Rider
Posted Friday, February 16th, 2007
A few months into the development of inkoid I came across Line Rider and had a kind of epiphany. While I was building a monolithic tool that requires all kinds of server equipment, bandwidth, and months of complicated application code here was something that probably took at most a week or two to develop, was a quick download and was just plain simple fun. It took a brilliant shortcut to the idea of interactive animation that i was and still am lumbering towards. And as it turns out this simple tool was enough to allow enthusiasts to create brilliantly complex works like Techdawgs “Departed”.
