So as I wrote in my last blogpost, I decided upon making a stealth game.<\/p>\n

That’s why I got started today on getting all the mechanics in the actual game. There is no featurecreep at all and there is a surprisingly low amount of features. It’s a rather minimalistic stealth game now that I look at it, but I think it is minimalistic in a good way.<\/p>\n

After getting the mechanics in I started on level design. I first drew them out on Paint.NET and then transferred them over to the Game Maker Room Editor.\u00a0Here are some of the level sketches:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"7\"<\/a> \"4\"<\/a> \"3\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And here they are in the game:<\/p>\n

\"screenshot105\"<\/a>\"screenshot106\"<\/a>\u00a0 \"screenshot107\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It all looks rather boring because the game lacks any sort of art. Tomorrow that will change and I will have a decent stealth game!<\/p>","time":"December 15th, 2012 3:18 pm","title":"Day 1: Ideas, Mechanics & Level Design"}
