:THE GAME MAKING DRIVE/BLOG TOPIC

Been slacking off. Tomorrow I plan to start getting into the actual mechanics of my game.

Finally started on something

Oh shizzle, is that a MALE character, Ness?
Mmm...suppose I should get started on something as well. I'll probably start with a few one-hour shorts, just to get back into the handle of things...then get to work on an actual project or three.

My database wiped itself.

Now I get to work with my two day old back up. That contains none of my most recent innovations. I even get to re-animate Doc.
That seriously sucks. I usually backup my game after every time i do something with it.

Yesterday Through Today
Compiling an unbelievably vast post-apocalyptic modern/future tileset for Everything Turns Gray.
Wow, I've been out of the loop for quite a while now. Right now, development of Dragon Kingdoms Birth of a Legend is on hold, as I try to figure out what to do to make the game, you know, good.

(The downtime thus far- Nov. 21 through Dec. 1- is still shorter than that seen back before Release Something, which is amazing.)

I guess I might as well comment and play other games for the time being.

I try not to complile things and only find things when I need them; I don't know why that helps me, it just does most of the time.

This is my first. If you ever make the jump to VX, you'll see why. There are NO non-RTP resources available for VX (especially for a post-apocalyptic game) so I had to make my own tilesets. Tedious but rewarding.

Finished patching my game with this, and inserting my new icons EVERYWHERE:

Slacking off ...
Finally off of Fallout 3, but jumped straight unto Gears 2 ... sigh ...
No progress yet (on Birth of a Legend), but good news! I will be getting a graphics tablet this Thursday- thus removing the need to conserve paper, as there won't be any! Anything can be changed at anytime.

However, I did make progress on a future project, as I came up with story and concepts for a game that takes place in a nearly-frozen world. Frozen as in cold, not time.
Worked on my Main Blog instead and Game Script since I don't really feel like spriting...
I haven't done much on my game lately except for design a new title screen for it since the old one was pretty fucking shocking.
