Aherp Aderp.
So… I think I've changed my mind on my game idea, because a new and awesomer idea just sprang to mind
I'll probably continue with my current one as a backup, just in case my new idea doesn't quite pan out… but, like my original idea, it's not very complex. …IM NOT PROCRASTINATING, IM GIVING YOU A HEADSTART
In all seriousness though, I'm probably gonna start working on my game now. It's pretty simple and can probably be finished in a few hours, so I might as well knock it out so I have an excess amount of time for polish. Besides, I have nothing better to do …

64DSC
For better or for worse, I've settled on the initial idea I came up with.The game's title is Verdigris, and I would not be surprised if it turned out to me the most simplistic 64DSC entry.

Yummy.Then I went to the 7-11 just down the street from the ramen shop to buy …Congratulations! Your CRYOMACHINE evolved into TIMEMACHINE!
So I've decided to buckle on the concerns expressed regarding the cryostasis machine idea I had for Pokemon Purple, and make it a full-fledged time machine capable of going both forwards and backwards in time.
So here's how time's gonna work now:There will be 250 years (3000 region states) …Videogame Design Rant #2: Moral Choice Systems
My first experience with a game that gave you moral choices was KOTOR, and I loved it. And actually, I still love it. But only because it's less about being "good" or "bad", but more about being a "Jedi" or "Sith". In just about every other game I've played that …
Videogame Design Rant #1: Time Management Mechanics
One of the most maddening game mechanics, at least for me, is where they give you a fixed amount of game "time" in which to complete the game. Two notable game series featuring this mechanic are the Persona series and the Atelier series, both of which I like despite the …
