Sumo Paint

  • In my first and previous post in this game dev log entry, I had written that I wanted to do a game which was a collection of simple retro games. Unity released a new major release (2019.3) while I was putting the initial project together, and I…

  • Well, I'm making a game . I'm spending the next few weeks on making a small game to showcase the gamedev log feature on tsumea where any member can create a game entry and other members can post journal posts with art, music or just development…

  • Just a test #2. Still working on the new section.

  • So, I got a Commodore 64 when I was in the 4th grade. It came bundled with a Rolf Harris picture building program on casette tape which never loaded properly but from what I could tell by its box cover, you could build pictures from a selection…

  • Yes, the site looks very different and I've had to prematurely switch to this new theme that I'm working on for a few reasons, the main one is that changing certain aspects of the site to fit the new theme will affect how the old one looks for…

  • (this is just a test, please ignore this entry)

    Here is some of my old work.. the first pic is of a 3d model of a human head I was working on about 2 years ago in 3dsmax, using nurbs. If I had to do it again, I wouldn't model a head with…

I've read that Google are throwing money at bringing Photoshop onto Linux via virtualisation, but they should've been throwing money at this! (or a web app that doesn't need flash anyway)

I'd say Adobe would be crapping their pants over something like this, but they've been working on an online version of Photoshop for a while now already. I guess what Sumo Paint does show is that the idea of an online paint application is already realised and here right now. Heck, it's got all the basic functionality down pat and you can even save your work too (onto your hd or their space).

With the popularity of netbooks and optimisations being made on browsers for web applications, we're edging closer and closer to cloud computing.

here is another group doing a whole suite of graphics programs.

I haven't looked into Avairy or Sumo in any real detail yet. I'm sort of in two minds about the flash graphics application concept on the whole, it seems like you are just downloading the app each time you run it (why not download it and save it). But it's free and you can potentially access them from any internet connected computer which I think is pretty cool/ potentially useful.

I'm also quite demanding with application functionality so I'm probably not the audience these things are primarily made for, hence my lack of enthusiasm.
