Okage: Shadow King Originally uploaded by RNSaffoldVia Flickr:Here's one from the vaults circa 2010. I never posted this because I think my intent was to finish/fix it, and we all know how that goes amirite?Moving forward into 2012 it's nice to look back at some of these "dead pieces." This was for a senior assignment to re-envision a video game. I chose an old PS2 RPG "Okage: Shadow King."Adobe

The Dreamweaver Originally uploaded by RNSaffoldVia Flickr:So lately I've been on a retro gaming kick, mostly visiting and re-visiting PC adventure games from the 1990's.
