Update behind the cut!<\/p>\n

Art<\/strong><\/p>\n

First update! \u00a0Hooray. \u00a0Working title for the game is ‘Cutthroat You, Homesick Me’.\u00a0Here’s some character sketches that will be the basis for the sprites:<\/p>\n

Story<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since I like making story-based games and interactive fiction, I decided to start by basing a story around the theme. \u00a0Here’s a\u00a0premise.<\/p>\n

Ollie King.<\/em>\u00a0 An aging, ex-Elvis impersonator longing for the old, gold days when he was the best.<\/p>\n

Desperate to relive it all, Ollie\u00a0meets up with the urban legend:\u00a0The Las Vegas Devil. \u00a0A wish-granting demon who feeds off the soul of rock and roll itself, he makes the deal Ollie wants.<\/p>\n

But no deal like that comes cheap.<\/p>\n

Now with the appearance and skills of the original King, but\u00a0possessed by the devil and losing control of himself to it, Ollie has to decide whether the fame is worth it or if he should find a way out of the deal – if there’s even a way out to begin with.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Gameplay<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’m using Unity with Fungus to make a\u00a0point and click adventure game based off puzzle-solving and dialogue conversations. \u00a0The interface is pretty simple, with the bottom part of the screen giving access to a draggable inventory, navigation in the top left, and options in the top right.<\/p>\n

*Here’s a (messy) conglomeration of brainstorming and interface sketches:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

*And yes, Chapter 1 is titled “Glorious Sideburns”.<\/p>\n

Audio<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’ve yet to start on the audio! \u00a0My experience in Fruity Loops is mostly limited to simple ambient music, so this will be a task.<\/p>\n

Etc<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’ll be updating through here, twitter here<\/a>, and (possibly) tumblr here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Having a lot of fun so far, and enjoying all the amazing stuff everyone’s already come up with so far.<\/p>","time":"August 22nd, 2015 2:41 am","title":"Update #1: Story, Art, Planning"}
