So i decided to embark on an adventure; i'm working on making a hack and slash sidescroller video game, with a level system and everything. so far, i only have the very base of the engine set up, but later on i'm going to need to make sprites. as you can see, i'm NOT the master of making sprites, though it may seem to be otherwise, however i am the master of coding a game out of thin air. it just takes a while, but once i have an idea in mind and i start going with it, I'll have a working engine written in a few days. that's the beauty of 2d game programming; if i focus on working on this, i could have a working game done in about a month. now the real challenge is my hope of making it customizable, to an extent. how i'm going to go about that, i don't know, but i'll probably have to write it in a different language than what i'm using for that. I'm using BASIC for now, but it works fine so when i have this awesome sexy beast of awesome, aka. my game completed, i'll share it with all of you, whether or not you can customize it as much as i'm hoping. hack and slash leveling, i'm hoping to maximize character maneuverability; which is something i absolutely love about the megaman x series, you can fly through so fast and you feel like you have a lot more control over the character than, say, zelda 2 or something similar. well, I'm off to live my life off of the internet for now.
