I’m torn on releasing a binary given the current state of Kage Studio. For sure, a lot of needed functionalities are yet to be implemented, but with the tool shaping up the past days I’m eager to release an early-beta to get feedback. So, I decided to record myself demonstrating its current capabilities.
I could draw Kisi one more time but I already tried that last time. So, this time, I drew a character created by a Filipino comics creator Berlin Manalaysay for the now-defunct Funny Komiks — called Combatron.
Disclaimer: the drawing is sketchy because I needed to limit the running time of the recording. Rest assured, one can draw even better with the current state of the tool.
What you see below is Kage Studio 0.2.191022 running on a 64bit Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, recorded by Gtk-RecordMyDesktop at 8fps. And yes, Kage Studio also compiles/runs on 64bit Windows 7.
The recording demonstrated the following tools:
- Oval — to create oval, oblong and the likes
- Rectangle — to create rectangular shapes
- Poly — to create free forms (as recording captured, it’s still a bit buggy)
- Select — to select a shape that needs further editing
- Node — to edit the shape
I was not able to demonstrate the following but they are readily available as well:
- Fill — to change the color of the shape
- Stroke — to change the color/thickness of a shape’s outline
- Eyedrop — to retrieve a shape’s color for use with Fill and Stroke
So, what do you think? Would you like to test the tool yourself?
