An idea takes shape

| 22 March 2007

The last week and a half has seen me almost entirely stop playing Vanguard. Not because it's a bad game (some would argue that it is, though) - but because my friends aren't really playing much anymore.

Instead, I have started tinkering with WoW again - playing a Belfadin. Not too far along, but level 13 in 4.5 hours isn't too bad I suppose.

Anyhow, I have not had a lot of time to do much in the way of game development - but every night when I lay my head on my pillow I start playing with ideas for a game world. And now, I think I have one. It's not very novel or unique - but it's not something that has been overdone. I am still in the very early preliminary stages and need to get some basic lore drafted up.

With this new world in mind, I definitely think I will be working on some kind of a 3/4 (isometric) single player RPG. It's the type of setting that reveals itself as you progress through a story. I am getting a bit excited, as it's a concept that I have had in mind but not for a game. I can't give many details right now, but once I have a game done, I can relate how it's been a concept I (and some others) have had for a while :p
