Quite happy with my new style then...

...I realise I'm copying ben304 :'(

This a little old now, but its pretty much the latest thing I've worked on.

A little rant

A good game doesn't have impossible puzzles.

A good game doesn't need difficult and complex programming. 

A good game doesn't need "Cock-in-your-face" graphics.

A good game doesn't need live recorded, orchestrated, professional music.

But.

A good game needs to be playable.

A good game needs to be enjoyable.

A good game needs to be rewarding.

A good game needs to be satisifying.

Opinions on this maybe subjective, but if you disagree with any of these points then I think you are just a fan boy. 

Background(1.1)

Well I have done a little bit but not too much to show. It doesn't look like Im going to get this done this weekend :(  Damn you social life! Damn you work! Damn you life!

Either way I am driven to get this done.

So I haven't failed.......yet.

Window Updates

ARGGH I've lost a night's work of walkcycles due to windows restarting!!

:(

Well I'm in a bad right now. A lot of stuff, but I'm annoyed with myself more than anything. I've let people down. Een though they haven't said anything, I do know I need to be better.

Anyway, on a more happier note, I must thank my lovely feedback givers I PMed recently. All your comments are very useful, and some made me laugh. There were a few trends in areas to fix and I'll send everyone a copy of a list of points with my own input too. Some comments have really inspired me, and I've got a wealth of new ideas now. Which so far I've added 3 NPCs, a backstory and more of a plot, a better ending.. ish.. (more of disapointing and yet unexpected ending but maybe a little enjoyable to the player) and a tonne of extra logical puzzles. It's the same format for the kind of "shopping list", but a lot more depth and still all in one room. So I should be able to make this game (with good quality) very quickly.

YAY! 

I'll hopefully post more than last month. What a crap posting month!

The only thing is that I'm picturing this game in high res or at least hand drawn. I don't know why. Although I'm going to pixel it, at the moment. Right now I need to finalise the puzzles and plot and the rest is just some hard work and EFFORT! 

Watch Out!

Well I keep turning round and seeing 3 headed monkeys. Why can't I focus! Damn! One things is that I need to study cause I have exams soon, but also now I have a project but I'm just avoiding working now. :(

Is there no way to win?

And I need to work on my backgrounds. Meh! I need a holiday.

Photoshop is fun but I can't use it to make backgrounds. 

BALLS!

 

I remember..

When I said I was going to post every day or so.. Oh well that phailed.

I think too many things in my life are failing. I don't want to be a pessimistic, but it seems so. I can't believe that I got shouted at today cause I brought up the point that I'm more likely to make silly mistakes if I'm lab partner-less. Which is true! My lab partner has disappeared for about 6 weeks! So obviously I don't have someone to tell me "oh I don't agree" or "oh you've got to measure from the top not the bottom. GRR! So yeah I know I'm failing, partner or not, but still don't shout at me cause I bring the point up that it is a factor of it.

Oh well I just want to run away. Far, far away and build a house and hunt for food and watch the weather. Make my own heating system and flushing toilets and everything!

I always feel everything has been done before me. I want to do something no one has done! Does anyone else feel that way? Man... Okay sorry for what was meant to be an AGS related blog it is mostly about personal stuff: aka RANT RANT RANT RANT


I promise I will post something readable one day


Keep Reading :D
