Plan for today (almost over).
Well I didn’t get to posting this till now, and it’s almost 1PM pacific time. But i’ll do it anyways. This should be the format i’m following for todo posts. Essentially i’ll start with what all I want to accomplish that day, projects-wise. Then sometime at the end of the day (probably closer to midnight) i’ll post what I managed to do that day. Probably seperate posts for each project. That is I’ll post a general todo post in the general catagory, and then at the end of the day post in each of the respective catagories for what I actually accomplished.
Okay i’m the menu for the rest of the day today:
Phone game. I can’t actually say much. And today i’ll get even less done so i’ll leave it at that.
My apartment. I’ve got to finish cleaning so my brother and his family can come over for christmas.
Hypno-Joe. I don’t really know what all I need to use to build this game. This is why i’m going into the prototyping stage first. So i’m going to be using the Scrolling Game Development Kit to do this. So the first two things i’ll need to do is to learn this system, and start drawing a simple walk animation for the character. I don’t think i’ll be doing the animation today, but I will start learning this system by going through it’s tutorial.
Enchanted Lands Resort. Well I think based on the progression I outlined in Enchanted Lands Resort - Design progression. I need to make some progress on the story. So i’ve got a basic premise as mentioned in Enchanted Lands Magical Resort. But now I need to flesh it out more. I already have characters thought up too. So i’ll try to start developing each of their character stories (as you will be playing multiple characters throughout the course of the game). So I guess all this junk really boils down to, the main characters journey. I’m building the game in such a way as each of the plot points is setup like a movie screenplay. Where each point is a cut scene, and where the puzzles are used to get from point-to-point. I like to refer to it as the “string of pearls” story configuration. Where each “pearl” is a non-linear interactive part and the “string” that connects it is the plot points. So by the end of today I should have the plot points figured out for our main story and main character.
Learning C++. Okay by the end of today I should have made up a short story to put into my “madlibs” style program. Then I should possibly try to re-read the chapter i’m on in my book.
So there you have a plan, possibly impossible to finish today, but hopefully i’ll get to most of these items.
