Once again I have failed. I really didn’t like the theme so I decided to just try to make something I wanted to make and try to fit the theme around it, but the two didn’t mesh well together.<\/p>\n

The idea was a C&C-style RTS, but where you grow sort of Pokemon-like units a a cloning tank. You would capture small animals to study their genes, then splice those genes together to make bigger, meaner creatures. There would be traits like fire breathing and such.<\/p>\n

Of course all this is massively over-ambitious, and I couldn’t finish in time. Here’s what I have at this stage…<\/p>\n

I managed to get the basic RTS mechanics in place, and started adding buildings and some units, but the whole gene splicing thing just never happened. I suppose I could have just made it so you build your creatures directly from your base without the whole genetics thing, but I felt like that would be straying even further from the theme.<\/p>\n

I suppose the whole RTS thing was a bit over the top, but I feel like it could have worked if I had just ignored the theme altogether.<\/p>\n

Never mind. I still had fun.<\/p>","time":"August 26th, 2012 11:59 am","title":"Failed Again"}
