I've always liked drawing. I also happen to like typography and graffiti, and luckily you can combine the two!
I do these to relax. The main point here is experimenting with styles and techniques, the text itself is not that important. Here's one I did a while ago after I got inspired by a Escape From New York poster, I wanted to see if I could write in a similar style. 

Another mine blueprint, this time a lot cleaner than the last one. Plus there is a little gameplay element. A friend of mine suggested I'd recreate the mines from Abe's Odyssey, so I did. The mine cycles through an active/inactive state based on PL proximity, and then cycles between an armed-non-defusable and an armed-defusable state. If the player does the correct input at the right time the mine is defused and rendered harmless. It was a fun exercise! Learned a lot more about using variables, as there was a lot of things that needed to be checked at each state.

Been poking around with blueprints a bit more, this one is a bit more advanced than the first one. 
It's a landmine that behaves like so:

• if PL approaches the danger zone it checks if mine checks if it's armed
  
  • if so: warning lights turn on and warning beep is played.
    
• If PL keeps walking into the kill zone it explodes, applying a force around it, spawns effects, sounds and destroys everything except some lingering smoke which is destroyed later.
• If PL presses Z while in the danger zone, it checks if the mine is armed
  
  • If so: the mine is defused, a sound is played, light turns green and a lingering smoke effect is played for a few seconds. The mine becomes harmless.

This was a fun little project! Learned a lot, especially in regards to variables, branches and manipulating effects and sounds that are not part components of the specific blueprint. The graph is a bit messy though, gonna clean that up later when I recreate it. I wanna go over everything again just to cement it. 

​Twas fun! Might try a bouncing betty next time. 

Alright. Let's see if I can get this blogging thing going again.
