Blog #1: Progress (2/2/17, 11:58 PM) I have an idea of what I’d like to do, but I haven’t nailed down the specific direction. Please don't ask me why I am doing this blog post so late. If I could answer that in one word it would be: Life. Anyways, the idea for my Genius Project is to create a video game, but not just any generic video game. I plan to create a video game which will speak to the hearts of anyone who plays it. How I'm going to do it? Well that's the problem isn't it? I plan to start a Kick starter campaign where I can find ideas and money in order to fund this project. I'm making it sound that I'm creating a mass marketed game, but not really. I'm going to use a program called Gamemaker Studio in order to make the game, which is totally free and accessible. The aesthetic of the game will have a retro, 8 bit style, which I hope doesn't make you close this web browser in a sigh of disappointment. I want to prove that "old school" games can deliver an impact as strong as games that focus on graphics, frame rate, resolution, etc. I'm taking a lot of inspiration from Undertale, a game that takes on a underwhelming facade, but surprised the entire gaming community with its story and nontraditional mechanics. I also plan to make the music for this game with FL Studio, the same program the developer for Undertale used for his music in the game. This is bit of an OCD of mine, but for each blog post I make, I will add a "commemorative" picture that I created myself, in order to satisfy my ego using a program called Paint Tool SAI with a Wacom tablet. I plan to launch the program as soon as possible, preferable after my SAT test coming this March of 2017. Quick Edit: I already got a backer! Only one, but that doesn't matter at all! Thank you, Shigeru! Let me dedicate my first drawings to you: I know that I said before that I didn't solidify my ideas for my project yet, but I think I am already getting a very solid idea of what I am going to do from this point on. Stay tuned! (I will be putting up the Kick Starter link to my project on this website after I finish setting it up)
