![]() Inspiration is such a strange beast. It's great to have it back in some form after being away from MMF for a while, but I feel I'm going to have to announce once again that all the projects that I've been promising to finish for ages are now on hold because I'm busy making a completely new game once more. The new prototype has been granted its own folder now - surely the mark of some confidence. I really love the idea, and I'm really happy with how the look is coming out - apparently I have suddenly learned how to draw things to an acceptable standard - but this game is still a bit of a mystery in that I'm still not sure where to go with it or what strategy really exists. You can roll around, learn how to align yourself and eat the flowers - is that what the game's going to be? Are puzzles with multiple sheep necessary or desirable? What other elements do there need to be - platforms you can only use once, gates that only work in one direction? Which ones of these make the game interesting and not overly restrictive? Potential names: Sheep Roll, Sheep Tumble, Tumblesheep, Tumblemunch, Rollysheep, Fat Sheep, Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Sheep. (I'm amazed enough that "Sheep Roll" doesn't produce a game on Google already...) 2012-06-02 23:12:00 9 comments |
