Hoorah, new blog.
Okies, I've settled on my idea for the interactive fiction assignment. I'm going to go with the spaceship thing.The introduction will be a dream sequence, which will set up a couple of things for further on in the story. You will wake up, and be able to meet the other people on board the ship (two or three). Then as you do bits and pieces, parts of the intro dream will crop up.Every now and then (when you sleep or are otherwise unconcious) you will have another dream, and parts of that dream will manifest in reality. Ultimately it would be cool to randomise most of the dreams, but that may be getting ahead of myself. I will be using a forked storyline though, so the story unfolds differently depending on what you do, and the choices you make.The combat will be handled differently. Adrift has good combat support, but I'll be turning it off. instead, upon meeting an enemy you will have a certain amount of time to use whatever is at hand to defeat it, or escape.Its an ambitious project, but I think I can pull it off. Here's hoping anyway…I'll be able to work on Danse Machina in a couple of weeks, as well as my new game Fear Tactics. The content of my machinima has to be done next wednesday, so after that it should be smooth sailing… Anyway, I gotta go do my model, so cerio.
Good to hear things are going well :)
Whenever I see "Danse Machina", my dyslexia kicks in and I think it says "Dance machine"
I just read every single blog I missed while I was gone(about 6 of them). I like to read your blogs becasue they are always very interesting. :)
Ack. I've lost track of how many things you're working on.
hehe, most of it is schoolwork. I do other bits and pieces when I can.
Incidentally, I found a junior animator job going at Big Ant in Melbourne. It requires a multimedia degree in games design (which I'm getting) so maybe in a couple of years I could go for animation :P
