So, shortly before bedtime, my eldest asks to play our game, and how can I possibly say no to that??<\/p>\n

So I plop him in the chair, strap on the Vive, hand him the controller and explain that I’m making a boss level – and as my official playtester, he tries things I never though of; like jumping and trying to scale the tower the boss creature is on.<\/p>\n

After a bit more playtime, we go through the nighty-nite routine of teethbrushing, potty, tucking in and he drifts off to sleep.<\/p>\n

In the morning – I’m plugging away at the game when he wanders in, sleepy-eyed and plops down at his sketchpad, just kinda doing his own thing until he asks me for the scissors, which I distractedly hand him and go back to trying to wrap my head around quaternions. Suddenly he’s by my side with this:<\/p>\n

\"get<\/a>
here’s some more work for you…<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

and says, “Daddy, its a BOSS”<\/p>\n

So I scan, crop, draw it out in Inkscape, pull it into Blender – extrude and texture – he finally loses interest when I start rigging it and is drifting off when I ask questions about it. Are those things sticking out supposed to be hands? Who is this? What is this?<\/p>\n

He’s not very forthcoming with answers, so I’ll have to draw my own conclusions. But, its looking pretty sweet:<\/p>\n
