Blackened (working title)Work in progress.---------
After a few months break from my last flash game, I started working on something new a few weeks back now. This is where I will be keeping a journal of sorts, of my progress through creating this game.
This will be my first Desktop game (no flash this time). I decided on a desktop game, based on a few reasons. After initially playing with the design of the game, and throwing a lot at Stencyl, I really liked the increase in performance for Desktop over flash. I increased the screen size to 1280x720, and continued to throw lots at it, while it still performing excellently. I also decided that I didn't want to be spending every spare hour I had like with my flash games, creating some thing over the space of a month or two and then releasing. This time, I will be spending the next year working on this - but lowering how much time a day I spend on it.
So I had a few ideas for a game, its look and style, and where I wanted to go. I'd created a couple of 'silhouette' type games in the past, such as 'from the dark', and an earlier game called 'Twenty9', and wanted to try such a game again - but this time I wanted to do it differently and on a much larger scale. I also wanted to create a shooter type game.
Anyhow, I came up with a rough idea and story. Part of the game will be in 'silhouete' style, and due to the storyline, this will then become full colour/normal style. I already have the silhouette side on the move, with a few levels already laid out and I've been slowly working on the player, weaponry, effects, and just testing ideas out currently.
Below is a short video of things so far. There maybe things that are placeholders or temporary.
Hopefully I will come in and post new pics and bits and peices every week or two as I go along over the next year.
