Timmy’s Journey in Google+
Strangely, Tumblr lacks the interactivity I was looking for in this blog. That’s why I’ve created a Google+ page where I’ll be posting everything you see here. If you want to leave a comment on any of my posts just look for it in there.
Some heads for testing purposes.
This one is just for fun! Not sure if something like this will end up in the actual game, but the head movement may be useful in the future.
Let me introduce myself
My name is Nico and I’m a programmer. I work as a web developer for a living, but on my free time I pursuit one of my life’s dreams: creating a point and click adventure game.
A few years ago I started making isolated tests to create a game of this kind, and all of those tests converged now in this project, which began with the collaboration of my good friend Luis. He came up with the idea of a medieval gong farmer as the main character and some other concepts I won’t reveal yet.
At this moment I’m pretty confident that I have the skills to handle the programming a game like this requires, so my focus is on developing the story and designing puzzles with Luis’ help; and drawing/animating some characters.
So, what’s the point of this blog? Well, it has several purposes:
- We need to know if someone would be interested on playing this game, otherwise, why even bother?
- I’m no artist, so if someone is interested in collaborating with the art, help is more than welcome, especially with the design of the scenery.
- We want to learn, so we’re hoping to get some tips on how to improve what we’re doing.
- It looks fun!
That’s about it. So let us know what you think and what you’d want us to share here. Join us on this journey: Timmy’s Journey!
Meet Timothy Poole, better known as Timmy Poo. He’s a gong farmer (poo collector) in a medieval town and the protagonist of our story.
