Creating playable virtual worlds on the computer. Yes, it is a thing.
So I have been thinking of some ideas for a new project that I want to start and I came up with quite a few ideas, but only one idea really stuck out to me. In my opinion it is something that you do not see enough in games. You are probably wondering "What the hell are you talking about?" well, I am not ready to openly discuss exactly what I am doing but, here is some of the things that I am getting inspiration from.
I am not ready to give full details about the project. I want to get some of the ground work laid out and make some progress on it before I go into to much detail. I will continue to update my blog here on IndieDB and hope you guys enjoy what I am about to bring!
Side Note ; this will not be a full game. It is merely a idea that could develop into something more. I am just a mere level designer that likes to create landscapes and worlds.
Well, that leads me to my next topic. That is what I want to start doing. I tried to make a game once and well, like 99% of peoples games it flopped. The reason it flopped was due to the fact that I had no one help me with any of the things that I could not do such as coding. I made a really nice open world, but there was no game mechanics to go along with it. So it died (and rightfully so!). Now, I am just going to start focusing on making the things that I love. I love doing open world maps with vegetation, buildings, ruins, hide outs and anything else that comes to mind.
I would like to say that from now on, I am going to be making maps and that is it! I may add a few mechanics into the games with the help of some friends but nothing more.
My first plan for a map is going to be announced soon. I am in the stages of planing it and will release more information about it later. Stay tuned for some upcoming projects!
