Base14

Microsoft made some interesting moves earlier this week, first by offering free upgrades for consumers buying Vista-equipped computers from now until the Oct. 22nd Windows 7 release, and then by slashing the price of Windows 7 upgrade pre-orders on Amazon.com in half. Apparently it has generated a bit of excitement, as Windows 7 Home Premium and Professional surged to the top one and two software spots on Amazon, respectively.

Anyhow, now that Windows Vista is living out its final days, I thought it was a good time to publish this comic. I’d like to think this is the start of a very nice series of summer comics, since they were so neglected all Spring as I finished Duck ♥ Teslacoil. If my classes stay as mellow as they’ve been going, it probably will be.

Well, while the Base14 movie division is seeding the foundations of some new projects and the development division is working some other odd jobs, I thought now would be a good time to pull an oldie from the Base14 time capsule. So today we present to you a real gem: Munk. It is, to put it simply, a game of skill. Actually, it’s a Flash game created by myself and Rick DeSutter. The player takes on the role of Munk the chipmunk, who must quickly collect enough acorns to make it through the winter. Problem is: acorns can grow awfully high up!
