BMR's Adventure Game Dev-Log
Yeah, so thought I'd do a little dev-log of sorts here. Who knows if I'll finish a game. Main things I want to be able to accomplish here are a few ideas that have been kicking around in my head for making an adventure game. If I finish a game, that'll be a bonus, heh.

Day 01
Right, so I'm going to repurpose the script I made for that isometric demo and I plan to use it for moving a character around the screen, LucasArts/Sierra adventure game style.
So far, I've gotten the first sprite done, and I'll use her to start putting together an engine of sorts to move the player. Not quite sure how I'll script it yet, but I'm leaning towards using the mouse to point and click where you want to go. If that doesn't pan out, maybe keyboard movement, but I really don't want to go that route.

Which is why I'm not going to draw those backgrounds. Instead, I'm going to be the lazy slime that I am and just build the 3D environment and render them out. Heh, laziness, always fun =pSoule X wrote:I've always wanted to make this type of game. The only thing I wouldn't be able to do, I think, is draw those crazy backgrounds. That would take forever!

I'm not entirely sure yet. For the isometric demo I linked previously, what I did was to have a script load all of the backdrop slices. Then, I had it create a bunch of rect slices to mark the unwakable areas. To be completely honest, I never got the hang of using the slice collection editor, and I always just use scripts to load and position everything. I really should learn how to use it.Bob the Hamster wrote:Do you plan on superimposing your rendered backdrops onto a map, and using regular passability walls or zones?
or are you going to put your backdrops in slice collections, and mark the walkable and unwalkable areas with hidden slices?

Agreed. That would take some real artistry. I feel like 2D point-and-click adventures are probably the most asset-intensive games out there. Don't forget about all those character animations.Soule X wrote:I've always wanted to make this type of game. The only thing I wouldn't be able to do, I think, is draw those crazy backgrounds.

BMR's plan to render the backgrounds is solid.
