I'd best get started

But first, new avatar:

Now then, onto some blog.

I borked my text adventure by underestimating the design involved. Also, I'm a crappy fiction writer. Next…

So I decided to, as per usual, make an NES styled game. Now, this doesn't mean it'll be a platformer (Though it probably will be), and I still haven't decided on an overall theme/story… I would like to make, for once, a top-down shooter somewhat like Smash TV (Anybody remember that?)

In other news, I cleared my Desktop. There are now only four icons, the only ominous one being "Dump A".

Making a text adventure was harder than I thought as well.

Unweildy text parsers that don't associate the words "speak" and "talk," but respond snappily if you misspell "fuck." That sort of thing.

I made a text adventure engine in Game Maker once (long lost), but I just couldn't think of what to write. I made like 3 areas and then I left it.
