Well i’ve been tossing around ideas and typing them up. I have an idea for a half-breed wizard, and my friend Seth Robinson says “named Harry Potter” - well I wasn’t even thinking of that at all. The idea stems from the fact that i think there will be humor in a wizard that can […]
Okay, well I read all the documentation on the Scrolling Game Development Kit including the tutorial, and the scripting docutorial, and breezed through the gamedev script reference. Then I did the tutorial (not the *quick* tutorial, but the regular one). I had some problems “creating” graphics with it’s built in fullscreen graphics editor. […]
Okay here it is. I finally decided on a story. Well it’s what I wrote before only this solves the problems of my previous stories being a little different. I’m going to reveal everything this game will have to offer including backstory and spoilers. I’ll indicate whether the post contains […]
As stated before (at least I think I did). I’ll be using the Scrolling Game Developers Kit to prototype hypno-joe. Today’s list item was to read all the docs of it before going into the tutorial. I had planned on reading the tutorial first as well, and also read the scripting documentation […]
Well as I was talking before about a prototype heavy method wherein I build the prototypes to in essence design the game. I’m coming to realize that for an adventure game this method might not work out so well. Since this is primarily an interactive narrative (sounds like an oxymoron doesn’t it), I […]
Hopefully this will be the last in posts showing no progress. Essentially I had went through several of my older stories which were related to this project, each have variations that don’t gel with each other. In one instance we have an opening that shows a young man open a portal to another […]
I ran across a thread on the Indiegamer forums entitled Tips for starting, developing and actually completing. Someone with the name of zKing posted what I consider to be the most useful comments in this particular post.
Of particular note:
3. Always have a list of the top 5 or so things that are the most […]
Well I did accomplish something today. I decided before going through the tutorial, I would instead read the help file (documentation). I only got as far as reading about creating an editing tilesets. Tommorow i’ll start on map editing, maybe even finish the regular documentation there. And then I will read […]
Well I was talking to some guys on irc about adventure game design. The one guy I was talking to came up with a list of things to work on, and I sort of revised it. Here’s my progression:
So essentially Story, Characters, Puzzles, Inventory, Dialog, then visually, background and character design, background art […]
Okay the first time i’ve posted in two catagories simultaneously, and even one catagory is a base catagory. In any case I was discussing with my friend Chris Tanner. He had looked at my post concerning learning c++ and making games. He thought I was talking about doing a learning game, that […]
