New Project
Well I’ve started a new project – a game, but at the moment I’ve got no name for it, and I’m still working on the design document for it (I’ll be putting it up on a page on my blog as soon as it’s ready). The thought behind this new project was mainly to force me to do something other than play Eve-Online, or watching TV shows. More information will be posted as and when it’s available, but I will be posting every little thing about this project, as well as doing a proper little web site on this site. The basic idea for the game is to try and emulate the great space resource management games of the past – Project: Space Station, Millennium 2.2, Deuteros, and E.O.S (Earth Orbit Stations).
While these games are different, they all have a unifying theme – they are fun to play and I’ve not seen anything like this released in the past few years (nearly every game out there is some form of FPS or some high graphics low game play style thing). I’ve set myself a target of getting the first milestone (the design document) wrote and started on some mock up screen’s and graphics that will be in the game. I’ve not decided on the target platform at the moment, but the DS may very well be the target platform, since the platform is portable, and this type of game might be good on that system.
