So I’m starting up something of a Devlog for a game project I’m starting. I start a lot of projects and rarely get them finished, so I’m hoping this will prove a useful means of keeping myself on track. Plus I may also be able to ninja a bit of help from time to time :D. Click more for some sort of project outline.
I’ll be building it in Construct – A free, open source piece of Game Creation software. You’ve probably heard of Game Maker or Multimedia Fusion, or at least played some games made with them. Construct works in a similar way to MMF. You drag objects onto a frame to lay out the level, and use a mouse-driven interface to set up event sheets which represent the actual game code. Given that my actual coding skills are dodgy at best, this works for me.
Task one is to get the basics of the engine up and running, which I’ll do over the next few days. After that, I’ll start talking more about the game as a whole, the key features, and a bit about story.
I’ll also take bets on how long I actually keep this going for.
