Goals 2012
Submitted by Earok on Wed, 12/28/2011 - 15:01Josh at Tiny Frog Software has posted his 2012 goals which has inspired me to do mine.
I only have one real goal - release something related to the Battlesuit project, which currently exists only as a 1st draft 100 page script, some prototypical artwork by Anthony and some rudimentary Monkey demos. Kirsty jokingly suggested interactive fiction as one possible outlet, which sounds kind of awesome when I think about it - probably the world's first mecha text adventure.
Time permitting, the Global Game Jam, Script Frenzy and NaNoWriMo are also on the horizon.

I'm thinking about making a text adventure for the Global Game Jam, 'cause I've never really made a piece of interactive fiction before.
Neither, but I'm also keen to give it a shot. If you're not doing a solo entry, Noah and I would be tempted to join your team.
There are some open source IF engines out there, so you could use those to develop your GGJ game. However, they'll take a little while to get your head around, and IMHO are too complex. For the GGJ just go for a fun story. Don't be afraid to add the occassional pic and sfx. Cakadeus wasn't a bad approach - just find a way to create art assets and storylines faster.
Either way, Happy New Year~~!
Ah, Cakuceus. I'm still disappointed they didn't make a sequel at last year's jam.
Thanks Anthony, same to you too. Hope your break has been going well.
