So a year has passed and nothing on the game front, sadly.
I've spent bits and bobs of time attempting to learn Java, although I have to admit the amount of effort and time required for me to learn how to effectively use it is just too vast (at least with the speed at which I want things done) I even had a look at some other allegedly simpler coding languages but for the most part it's the same story.
So coding isn't really my thing and I've decided to invest in something that I can actually get results from without spending a couple years getting to grips with it because as it happens I've used this software before (and it is already pretty simplistic in most functions)...
I'm going back to RPG Maker, that is RPG Maker XP to be precise.
Apart from the reason stated above RPG Maker XP is just frankly a great piece of software and can be used to easily create the kind of game I want to make so I suppose it just makes the most sense as I'm really not that great with learning code without it taking a long, long time.
So yes, I've got plenty of idea's that I've been mulling over for years now (as evident in last years post) and I'm working now on condensing it all down and properly crafting some lore and characters.
So that's that really, I'ma work on it and hopefully get to a point where it's worth putting up on the site but I suppose I shouldn't promise anything just yet.
