This is a blog to journal the development of various game projects and experiments in indie game development. I'm no pro developer- no far from it. I'm more like the typical indie, where I work during the day in an unrelated field, and at night, I try to squeeze in as much time as I can to move the latest project just a little bit forward.
Hopefully, I can, from time to time, jot down a few note on interesting things that I've done and share them with the world at large. And hopefully, someone can come to my aid when that last thing just. won't. work.
I'm working using GameMaker Studio and RPG Maker MV. I'm working on several projects in GM:S, a platformer and an rogue-like adventure. Both of these are in proof of concept mode where I'm trying things out since I am new to GM:S and it's scripting language. Great stuff, but a learning curve as always. Currently on-hold.
The front burner project is an RPG called "The Kidnapped Parents" in RPG Maker. Basically the story of Sebastian, who returns to his home village after a year abroad and finds out that his parents have been taken by the Red Guard, for an unknown reason. He needs to figure out where they have taken them, for what reason, and become stronger to defeat them.
I am using stock graphics for the game, as I have no artists on my team of one, but am able to modify some of the art to make it a bit more unique. Right now I am making map locations, developing a storyline and creating puzzles. On the graphics side, I'm using the built-in character generator to make unique characters (as unique as I can from the number of parts), and then consolidating them on single sheets with paint.net.
