The Incarnation of a Project

Well it's all nice and well having the tools for creating a game, but what to create? I guess it says a lot about this effort, that this is my second, and not my first, consideration. All in all, i really care about the process and the learning experience, and not as much about the actual game. None the less it will be Awesome!

I will make a Role-Playing Game, which seems the most interesting vs time to get it in a playable state (e.g. learning curve) and heres why:
  • Maps and graphics doesn't matter that much (hurray).
  • Initially the game can consist of you walking around talking to different NPC's.
  • Later i can add lot's of depth incrementally (e.g. quests, abilities, encounters). 
My first milestone will be:
  • The player (you) walking around a... 
  • Single 2D map (30x40 tiles)... 
  • Clicking on randomly positioned NPC's and... 
  • Starting a simple dialog.
May not sound like a lot of fun, but it's only the first milestone! :)
