Hello, my first blog post, basically just want to give some details on the game I am working on for the competition. This is my first post because I have been working hard on the artwork building the maps and character sprites that will be involved in the game. I am now in the process of building the actual game components in html5.

The game will follow a non-traditional player character, that of an evil piece of sludge. You will awake in a forest and feel power coming to you from a wrathful god who wants to destroy the world. You will be able to wander the world in a sandbox environment, with the world appearing as you explore it.

Random events will spawn giving you opportunities to gain experience, eventual level ups will give you new abilities and greater influence which will then allow you to gradually gain power by taking over towns, corrupting cities and influencing nations into going to war. Plus I hope to include the ability for the player to be able to build their own armies to wage war across the world.

The project is quite ambitious and I am already behind schedule due to games like diablo 3 and the fTL beta coming out, but I still hope to complete it in time for entry into the competition.

More updates and screenshots will be coming soon.
