I’ve decided to participate in the october (fest) challenge! I’ll be working on a hack n slash type of game of mine that i’ve had in the works for a few months, altough it’s only been a few hours here and there. \u00a0For the challange i’ll be trying to put more time into development and hopefully have something ready for the november deadline. It’s really a win \/ win situation even if i don’t manage to complete the challange, as i’ll have something much more complete moving forward and thats a great motivator for me.<\/p>\n

The content creation chain still needs some work, but here is a screenshot from the client:<\/p>\n

The working name of the game is Cager and as you can see it’s set in a isometric-ish perspective, also present is a very, very small character sprite.<\/p>\n

Target platforms are any devices with a browser that can handle some of the “new” features in html5 (websockets, canvas, audio). I haven’t thought to much about how I will make money off of it other than through microtransactions, but that’s more of a long term goal and is probably not feasable for this challange. I’m not sure that anyone, except maybe forced friends and family (does that even count for the challenge?), would pay for an account, so thats something i’ll have to figure out as soon as possible. I also need to look into setting up paypal to accept payments as i have no idea how that works right now.<\/p>\n

I’ll also be streaming when possible at this location<\/a>.<\/p>","time":"September 30th, 2013 1:47 pm","title":"I\u2019m on it!"}
