We started building the game, because just like you we love to draw, but have never been able to take our characters beyond our sketchbooks. Our main goal for this version of the game is to get users familiar with the character uploading process (which allows your drawing to be animated) and Cornelius, an algorithm that analyses your characters and determines their strengths, weaknesses, and fighting styles based on how they’ve been drawn.
