Random Thoughts

For the last couple of weeks, I have taken a much needed rest to work on a game I have been working on. It was going very good but now I have to take some time to actually draw out and write out, exactly I where I want the game to go, as an RPG I believe the game is only as good as the story behind it. A good RPG needs an immersive story so that the environment and characters are not only believable but memorable. This type of story combined with the game features and to a smaller degree the graphics make a great game. Contrary to popular belief the most realistic graphics do not pull in the average gamer. The types of graphics are completely intertwined with the type of game you are playing. That is why game companies still opt to do cell-shaded games with such advanced computers at the disposal. The people at Sony choose to do as realistic graphics as they can for the Gran Turismo series because the people buying the game want to see the cars they are driving and the tracks they are on like they are actually their. Nintendo uses cartoon graphics for the Mario Party series because that is what attracts kids. The Final Fantasy games use their special effects to show a world of supernatural proportion.

My game using flash allows me to create adequate graphics for what I am trying to do, they are not the bare minimum and they are clearly not the best. This allows me create a world of my own design. In addition the coding language is in my opinion one of the easiest to learn and there are large communities ready to help people out when they are in need.

Now that I have most of the game's basic coding complete I need to create the story I wish to tell. I know the premise of it as I have written about this land many times before. This is another reason why I am making this game. For several years now I have written about the land where this game takes place. To actually begin to see it is a fantastic treat even for me.

Now since I will have to draw and write things out for the next while I may be joining a game to play here, not sure which one yet. I will see later sometime.
