Wow! I was just looking at the last big project I was working on, and I realised it has been a very long time since I've worked on something big, (My last release was in December…. of 2006!!).
I think that maybe I should toy around with GM tomorrow, and see if I can make something interesting…I think my problem with making games, for me, is self-confidence.I usually give up on something because I believe that I won't be able to unleash its full potential.I mean let's take a look at my last big project I mentioned earlier: PilotI planned this game to offer two unique experiences in one package.I wanted the freedom of the arcadey jump-in mission based gameplay, but I also wanted the close-ended, choose your path styled adventure shooter.I see now that I probably would never be able to do all of that.Maybe I should've worked less on the polish, (which for that project I pushed it to my limits), and more on a plan.In fact I aim to make a playable game within the end of this week!I'm going to try something I never done before, and that is planning and target setting.In fact I'm going to set myself some limits:- The game must be simple to play- The game must have a unique element of play- The game must have simple, yet well designed graphics- I am only allowed to work on graphics for one day- I am only allowed to work on the engine for a maximum of two days- I am only allowed one day of polishing and bug fixing- It must be an arcade game- It must have some form of replayablilty- It must have a simple plot- I am allowed a maximum of 10 obstacles- Difficulty must be time basedHopefully If this is successful, (which I doubt…), I will try more projects like this, and who knows, maybe I'll have a decent sized Games section, (and possibly, I could actually call myself a "game maker"! XD)Other news: I got Mario Kart Wii!! It is sooooo awesome!!Hard though… I've comepleted 50 and 100CC. Only got 150 and probably Mirror left to do…
