Hello Mr. blog
You exist as a medium for my thoughts to exist past the recesses of my mind, which is as fluid as, uh, the sea, or something. Basically I have too many ideas than I know what to do with
A brief history: even since playing UNDERTALE way back in 2015 , I've been inspired by toby foxes indie masterpiece to take a shot at game development.i wanted to make an RPG that was different, had a compelling story, lots of humor and interdisciplinary characters, and some unique mechanics to make it stand out from the multitude of indie RPGs out there.
What do I have to show for it, five years later?
Not a thing.
Well, that's not entirely true. What I have to show are lots of pages of ideas and some artwork, but very little of anything resembling an actual product.
It was three days ago on Saturday when I realized, the task I had set out to myself was just too big, certificate for a beginner. The intricacies of the plot and characters, multiple endings possibilities, choice-matters-ness and everything I wanted to cram into my game was just way too much, and I didn't have that much time to put into it anyhow. If this game developing thing was going to be a side project in my life, it had to start small.
This post is me confessing to myself, in a moment of clarify, that I need to start small. I can't make some magnum opus on such little time and little to no experience.
So I am officially setting aside this project for a later date. And I'm beginning a newer, smaller project , which I am titling "Tree Quest".
That's all for now.
