A small break.

Gaming World is having a Game making competition and I, silly that I am, joined up. It goes for two weeks and has to use only original graphics. I was going to do a small puzzle game that had mice trying to find their loved ones but I teamed up with another member (Kaempfer) to work together on another game. I'm doing the character graphics and beta-testing - despite my little-to-no talent at spriting.

What? He asked! Of course, I agreed. I don't mind helping a fellow game maker out. So, the sprites for the heroes and some NPCs are completed. I'm working on faces now, which is proving to be a bit harder than I thought, but I'll get them done. ^,^

Mouse House has suffered because of this, but I actually got a bit done on it today, mapping out the general area of the house. I've already got all the mice sprited and now need to fill the house with more tiles. I've currently got three floor tiles, two roof tiles, a bed, slippers done. All I need now is... uh... everything else and the garden. I have done the maze I planned though.

As to Realms Shattered...? Not much in the way of development. A little thing called RMVX kind of distracted me before the competition came up and I've been messing around with the trial. It's actually quite fun and the graphics are really cute, though quite square. I'm just working on a very, very short demo game in it that won't really go anywhere. It's just for fun.

Anyway, after this competition ends I'll be amping up the work on Realms Shattered and trying to get a demo out before March 20th - which is Release Something Day at 'rpgmaker.net'. I'm hoping get either a substantial demo out or a EDS test for everyone to try. If I can I'll try my best to get a combination of them out.

As to the demo - I'm hoping to have it get up to at least the second town and have it include a treasure hunt quest, an EDS battle and at least one dungeon. Lots to do!


Wish me luck!
