Week 18, Whoops I missed one.
12 years ago
I could have swore I did a journal last week. <_< Whoops.
Its now May, 5th month working on this project. When I started at x-mas I had this vision where I would have a huge chunk of my game done and ready to go. To have this done in a year doesn't look reasonable with the large scope I had planned. So now I have to make some choices. What do I cut back on? Most of my time is spent learning how to create sprites and things for the game, do I start using a lot more default stuff? Do I cut back how long the game was going to be? Do I break it the story into multiple games? Do I scrap the entire thing and start with a much smaller and simpler project?
Looking back, I think I should have done something much simpler. A tiny RPG to learn the ropes then work on my next game with more experience. I am a stubborn person tho, So I am going to finish this, one way or another. Even if it I can't finish it in a year.
On a more positive note. I already have outlined the minimum I need to make in order for the demo to be released before AC. So I'm going to be posting it at the top of my FA page and every time I get a part done, check it off. At the very least have something there to help motivate my arse into working smarter.
That's it for this week folks, and if you havn't guessed, no screenshot this week. If I get something worthy to show I'll slap it up on the page ASAP. :3
