SAM'S PROFILE

Where in the World?

So guys, where are your games set? What's the locations history? What are the landmarks? Why should we care/ be impressed? Tell us!

In my game, a newly elected government have decided to pull their country out of the cesspool it's found itself in by making major cuts to all welfare benefits, sending a strong message that for too long people have avoided getting jobs because they can live more comfortably on welfare. They've also made cuts to public services, including schools and hospitals.

The nation is divided into two. One the one hand, you have those who feel they've worked hard to earn their money, and they're glad their taxes won't pay for jobless slackers. They simply state that if you want anything in this world you have to work for it and hail it as a new era. When quizzed about the damage to the public education and health services, they simply state that if things get that bad they can always go private.

On the other, you have those who feel that vital monetary lifelines for certain people are being unfairly and cruelly taken away, sparking rage in the lower classes. There is also some unsettlement from those who work low end jobs, who feel they do earn their money but aren't considering important or pretigous enough to have their free education and healthcare they've been entitled to for years.

Riots start to break out as civil unrest peaks, businessmen, government officials, company directors and anyone with a high wage start being attacked and even murdered by the lower classes out of sheer anger. Most of the uprisings are being caused by a single group, rebels parading themselves as a political party. At the head of this party is Dean Wells.

At the beginning of the game your orders are clear "These uprisings and killings began with Dean Wells, they shall die with Dean Wells."

Hey guys, sorry this is a day late. Got home from work last night and a good friend quickly turned up to talk about some stuff he's going through and we ended up chatting til quite late and I've had work again today.

So yeah, four weeks in. Can you believe it's going so quickly? You know the drill ^^;

Bosses are awesome to make, but you still have to try and make your regular enemies varied, interesting and challenging without making them too deadly or too easy. Very tricky to balance.

Here's a map I've been working on today.

Glad you got everything sorted Suzu =)

Been doing some spriting this morning for one the areas in the game.
This is what I have so far, though I need to add stairs, a bridge, indents in the wall for snack shops and some tracks.
