September Is Here!

Blog on hold while I sort out my school/work/finances.
Will return by at least October 20, most likely sooner.

Comments locked since I plan to delete this when I get back!

Graphics and Style

To summarise: in spite of the many good things it has going for it, realism is perhaps not the best choice.

Oh to Hell With This

UPDATE: I AM WHINY BABY MAN

Turns out that I can just write the format tags in by hand inside the word processor, and paste them into the HTML section of the text interface. Original bitching and complaining saved inside, in delicious hard-to-read green.

Xannax and I: Quest Design

I suspect that I’m going to spend more than a few posts going into a back-and-forth with Xannax, so I might as well set up a reliable titling system for those posts to let people know which ones to avoid. So heads up, here’s one of those!

EDIT: Heads up, really. This post is gigantic.

Sideblog

As a way of demonstrating my incredible lack of imagination, I’ve named my second blog GameButt.

This is How I Rough Draft

My time is a little short lately, but to try and make up for a lack of content I’m posting a rough draft that I’m rebuilding/ building on. It’s a bit of a mess, and I apologise for that; it slips though a few topics which would normally be split into their owns posts, so this obviously isn’t the best post I’m going to making here. For anyone interested though, this is basically an unedited look at how I write when I’m playing Armchair Game Designer/ Journalist(?). Which is really just a nice way of saying that’s a bit above or below a “stream of consciousness” post. Here we go!

Well Then

My reward for typing up a few posts in advance was losing those posts.

So I’ll be rewriting those from memory while my single reader waits, and both of us will be unhappy.

It’s not the best situation, but it’s the only one available right now.

Xannax and I: Story

A person named Xannax made a comment on Setting Up a Story that called me to task about how my ideas were crap and I was making unfair generalizations. He was right to do this!

Inventory

As much stuff as you can shove in your pockets; as many guns as you can stand to hold.

Player Death

Death is arguably one of the most boring things that can happen in a game.
