This is my first blog post on 64digits, I joined this site so I could participate in the Scary Game competition.
The game I am creating for the competition is called Witch War (working title). The game play will be familiar to those who play Magic the Gathering. I am modeling it after the Duels of the Planeswalker game (not the new version, but the version of the game that was released back in 1998). http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/magicthegatheringdotp/index.htmlSome of the major difference between my game and Magic the Gathering, is that you don't have a deck of cards. Instead you have a wand that can hold 5 spells. You don't use up a spell, so you can cast it as many times as you want until you run out of magic. And your magic pool is based off of your level instead of playing lands.Here a couple of screenshots of the game so far.
It has been slow going so far, but I started implementing the AI for the CPU, so hopefully it will start coming together over the next couple of days.
Pro tip: Get rid of the blue background as quickly as possible.
You're still using a decade-old operating system?
Are you on a netbook?My entire school (which I've left) still used XP up until this September, it's still a valid option.
Shitty school computers with budget cuts != home computer
At least get rid of that ugly blue theme. Fisher-price-esque.My school computers have XP, but they've been installing Windows 7 recently, which seems to have been a horrible decision because they can't even handle it without freezing up now and then.
yeah windows 7 isn't for shitty computers…
Yes.
The title screen is just place holder graphics for now…even the name is just a working name, not sure if that is what the final name is going to end up being. (Actually all the graphics are just place holder, while I am trying to get the game functioning…though do to time constraints they may end up being the actual graphics)
As far as Windows 7, meh I haven't seen any reason to upgrade my computer from XP. The only reason I would upgrade is if I get a new computer.
