Above the Sea and Fog But Still Perpetually Obscured.

I’ve been messing around with some ideas in my head and I’ve come to a cross roads as to which idea I want to develop first.  The idea that is farthest along is a 2d platform shooter, in the vain of Jazz Jackrabbit, Duke Nukem and so on.  Nothing to ground-breaking game-play wise but this would be all about presentation, story and music.  It probably would be the best one to do with my small but ever growing programming knowledge.

Another idea I’ve got going is an real time strategy, well a very cut down RTS anyway. Another way of exploring a story I think.  This could be a bit harder to write I think, especially if I want an isometric view angle.  Maybe I should just do it as 2D for now.

I still have my text RPG sitting there, don’t really have the motivation to finish it though.  The code is pretty much butchered (because I wrote it while knowing not a great deal).  I wanna do a straightforward text adventure game but that’s not a great deal.

Ok, while writing this, I’ve decided to do things in this order:
Text adventure game.
2D RTS.
3D RTS (basically 2.5D RTS)
Platform shooter.

If I can at least get something happening for all of these, I’ll be happy.  Maybe I’ll -actually- update my progress this time around!

So, I wanna try and get some serious stuff done next year and I might as well share it with the world. No, these are not News Years Resolutions because they always fail around me. I guess it’s something about them being called that.

Anyway this is what I want to have accomplished or be >70% with by 2010 year end.

• Get a whole proper year of uni done.
• Record at least 2 songs (I have about 60 ready to record)
• Lose some sort of weight.
• Save a good deal of money for UK/France trip.
• Develop a rough draft of my two game ideas.
• Post regularly on here.

Hell, I think that’s about it.  There is probably more but if can’t really remember it, then it’s probably not that important.
