Welcome and GMD Day One

June 5, 2013 in Development

Welcome to the new development blog for Dragonfly Studios. We have a few banners and such that need to be replaced yet, but the content is more or less in place. We thought we’d try to keep the majority of the content for the Game Making Drive posts here so you can follow the progress of our latest game.

So a little backstory on the current game in progress. It doesn’t have a title yet, so we’ve just been calling it “Snow Game” or some form there of until the point at which a title magically comes to us (unlikely) or we spend an hour trying to find ideas for one. The idea for this game was first formed in August of 2012. After so many non-RPGs, we really wanted to make an actual RPG. We’re working on all these smaller projects to improve our development skills for Ethereal Dreams, but we keep working on games that aren’t even RPGs! That said, it kind of stalled out super fast as we both went from largely unemployed bums to working full-time. Then Halloween Flop happened and showed us that hey, making battles can actually be fun when you put thought into it, and we were motivated once more to game make!

So what is currently done? Not a huge amount editor wise.
-A bullet-form list of the story is done. It will probably see revision as it gets fleshed out.
-Main characters are designed.
-Core mechanics have been discussed and roughly developed.

Before the start of June and GMD, that is where the game stood. Day One brought progress on the battle menu and sprites for the main cast.

Further GMD posts starting later tonight will have full details.
