Welcome! Another new year is underway and it feels like a very fresh beginning to what will be a great year for me.
I spent a lot of time thinking of resolutions for me this year, but could not really find anything that I knew I would really keep. But there was one goal I knew I had to accomplish this year:
-Build and Finish a Game
Believe it or not, I spent 8 years learning how to program and develop games and such, and have developed a few small games here and there, but never finished any of them at all! Some got more attention than I expected from others. Well, I always cut off my games in the middle of development. I will not count Free-Like, my roguelike I developed in 7 days because that is not really a full game, and forcing myself to push out the development or it was painful.
What I mean by this resolution is a complete, full-featured, game. And I chose one in the RPG genre for that too, which means it will more than likely be very large! The Weirdest RPG Ever, I mentioned it in my last post, will be what I am developing. I thought of the idea when I was 13 years old and started development, but soon got stuck as I had little experience with programming to develop the concepts I wanted. 5 years later, I am sitting in this chair willing to reach the goal of completing this game, and add even more than I intended!
And so I will! For the next 356 days left of the year (Leap year this year!), I will be developing this RPG until it is done. And note that I have only set one resolution, which means I can focus on just one goal with little distraction!
Also, I updated my site’s page at http://z-gamers.net or http://sigonasr2.servegame.org (They both are the same at the moment.)
If you notice on there at the very bottom, I have a little proposal.
I don’t know if anyone in the world is interested in working with me on The Weirdest RPG Ever, but I am working on it and would like to have a co-programmer to help too. I am looking for someone that is able to: a) Willing to devote a few hours every day working on the game, and b) Willing to learn, communicate, and discuss with me various aspects of the game, its development, the final product, and perhaps even creating the website for it.
What is in it for me? – You may be asking. Well, you need to have a great interest in top-down RPGs, and have to be a little accepting of a game that is not necessarily of high quality in terms of graphics. If you can appreciate the game that way, you already will enjoy making it as much as playing it in the future. However, there may also be money involved for your contributions. I would like to have someone that I could commission and say that you seriously have done a great job with working together on the game that I can pay anywhere from $200-$500 for such a person. But that is a lot of money, but then again, it’s a huge game.
If you think you’re worth it, I would like to ask if you can apply to me. Just email me using one of the following:
So, if you just finished reading that, I am looking for someone who is extremely dedicated to one project. Like I said, this is very hard to do since most people tend to get bored with something. I am hoping someone in the world can step up. If you want to know more of what TWRPGE looks like, you can watch one of my desktop recorded streams of my current work on it at http://www.twitch.tv/sigonasr2/b/304711160. Skip around through various parts of it to see the game in action so far.
That is all for now folks. I also am participating in 7DRL 2012 when they announce a date. That usually happens in February, so stay tuned to hear about that also!
