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!

I’ve decided that for the AVCON Indie Games Room next year, I’ll get an entry in.  I could if I wanted enter this years but all I have is my half finished text-RPG.

Hopefully by this time next year, I’ll have a almost full working yet-to-be-disclosed type of game.   Over the course of the next year, I’ll be posting ideas, concepts and progress shots.  I will probably be also posting questions hahaha.

Don’t worry, it’ll be in 2D.
