Post 3

About time for the next monthly update.

I'm still progressing through C++, learning how to do different things, etc. Made quite a few advancements story wise, I've got many of the main parts figured out, and the characters back story is all but done. There are still many parts that I need to think of still, so any ideas would be very welcome.

While I was learn programming, I went back to Game Maker and started making a 2 Dimensional version of the game, just for the heck of it. I've made quite a lot of objects, and I might try making a small part of the story into a 2d game for now, to give everyone a taste of what's to come. Be on the lookout for the next update, hopefully I'll be able to start on the 3d version of the game, and I'll try to get the story finished by next month.

'till next time,

Proper Introduction

Hey,

I think that last post wasn't really a proper introduction, so I will do one now. Basically, I will post once a month, within the first week of every month. This will either be updates to the story, engine, models, or a filler if I haven't done anything the whole month.

I still haven't thought of a name for my game; I am usually bad with thinking up titles. It will be a first person adventure RPG, and I will try to make it as realistic with the physics and movements as possible. I have yet to think of a story. Not even sure what era it will be set in. I'm open to suggestions on the story part, and of course any contributions will be put in the credits.

A couple of years back I began making a basic engine for this game in Game Maker 7: Pro Edition, but made very slow progress. About a year ago I almost finished the basic movement and first person view, but worked on it less and less until I finally just left it. Now I have decided to begin again from scratch, using C++. Only catch is, I barely know any of it. I can do basic functions, use variables, output text, make a working calculator etc, but nothing to do with games. So I am currently learning how to, although 3d is far ahead for me. If anyone knows any good tutorials (preferably videos) that could help with making games, please do tell, it would help a lot.

So anyway, this game wont be finished for a few years, and it might take a few months for me to even be able to start it. In the mean time I will work on the story, and give updates on how I am progressing in the game part. I will also put up games that I make on rapidshare, e.g. the ones that I make with the help of tutorials.

So yeah, I value feedback immensely, and any help whatsoever would be a godsend to me.

'till the next update,

First Post

Hey.

This is my blog which I started today.

It will contain mostly non-personal information about games that I am making, or more specifically, the game I am currently making. And maybe some other interesting things here and there. For my blog on personal things, visit 'http://ask-aboe.blogspot.com/'

This was the first post in my blog, more will be coming shortly with updates.
