Watch The Agency be built in a short time-lapse video recorded during the Ludum Dare #31 game jam. 

## Target Audience:
This course is intended for small developers, indie developers, students, freelancers and hobbyists who would like to learn more about how to create cohesive and appealing visuals and how to make them work within production requirements and technical limitations. This course provides methods and practices to find and define your artistic vision and to execute that vision alone or in teams.

## Content:
We will cover research, working with references, establishing of visual language and style, style guide creation and art review.

All tipps and tricks work for a wide range of styles and many practices apply not only to video games but to comics and animation as well.

When you are joining live, you can ask questions or comment on what you see via the chat. The stream will be in an interview/lecture format in which I will hold the lecture and provide the content, while Martin will be in the role of student. We hope this conversation style format will create a helpful pacing and allow for a fun but also comprehensive course.

So the two of us hit a sort of creative deadlock. We've been thinking and talking about this for months now but we've finally decided to not continue Sharkbomb Studios. At least not in it's current form.

As of now our joint operations are on hiatus. Sharkbomb Studios will continue to exist but as more of a label than a combined development effort. You can read more about the hows and whys on our blog.
