So yeah today is day 1: Today I will start out with designing the game. I know I want it to be a platformer but I do not know what features I will want it to have. Heres a list of things i want to have a rough idea of by the end of the day.
Code: Select all
Setting (Where and when):
Plot (What,Who, and Why):
Art Style:
Length of game:
The genre:
Core Mechanics(what will make it unique):
Platforms I want it on(Do i want it on Mobile?):
Day 1 Update 1:
So literally right after posted this I went to handle some business (lol) and I thought of a great idea for the game. But I also reached my first roadblock. I will update the list first then I will explain my roadblock.
Code: Select all
Setting (Where and when): In space and the year is 2076. It will take place on various space ships and planets. Including the Intergalactic Plumber(kinda like Ben 10(I like Ben 10)) Space Station.
Plot (What,Who, and Why): The plot is about a new host of the Omnitrix who is tasked with saving the universe from Vilgax's heir who is in the process of creating his own version of the Omnitrix. The player and his team will follow the heir around the universe in hopes of stopping him from getting all of the needed materials.
Art Style:
Length of game:
The genre:
Core Mechanics(what will make it unique): Able to change into different alien species. Different planets have different gravity and air composition that can affect various aliens negatively.
Platforms I want it on(Do i want it on Mobile?): I can already tell that the game will be hard to have running on Mobile so I will cross that out now. But I do plan on having the game in the browser using love.js. But that may present some issues. Optimizing for luajit is different from optimizing for plain lua.
Day 1 Update 2 Just figured out the kind of art style I want.

Art Style:I want the art style to be like the art of Ben Ten: Alien Force. For prototypes and most of development i will use programmers art due to the lack of an art bone but maybe along the way I will find either money or a willing artist.
Length of game:
The genre: Don't even know I included this. lol
