Island Devblog 2
I'm still waiting on that pro-version of gamemaker unfortunately. In the meantime, I've been creating some graphics and artwork for Island. I've been having some great fun designing some sprites, animations and tilesets. I also created this rough map of the island from which the game gets its name. While it didn't come out perfectly, it's a nice sketch of the general terrain. Yes, those green splotches are forests.

Island Devblog 1
Island is the game I am currently working on. It will be a top down open world game, where you play as person stranded upon an island. Three tribe-like factions live upon the island. You will have to trade with these factions to get a chance for water, food, equipment, and a small chance of escaping the island.
One of my main influences when designing the game, was the original Fallout. It's one of my favorite games. I was inspired by its open world setting, which made you make choices, many of which fell in the gray area between good and evil. It's atmosphere was also spot on. I can only hope my game will have some of those qualities.
Unfortunately, I haven't gotten as much time to work on it as I'd like, as my computer died. Now, I've built a new computer, but haven't been able to activate gamemaker's pro functions yet.
In the meantime, here's a character in the game:

Blog Started
Hey there. I thought I'd create a blog like every other person who thinks they are somehow more important than everyone else in the world. Mine will provide you with my random thoughts, and serve as a sort of development blog for some of my upcoming projects. If I find the time, I might even write up some reviews for some indie games, especially those created with the software gamemaker.
Well, enjoy. Be sure to contact me about that new game you're working on, or post a comment on one of my upcoming posts. My email is ninjutsu63@gmail.com.
