Day 6 : 2D game

So guys I haven't had time to do anything on the game this day because of other things. But I did manage to find an artist whom is keen to do some free art work for my game. This is great as it means the game will look a lot more professional by the end. But I am currently creating a game menu. Which will incorporate my first ever use of buttons in XNA and C#.

however I am thinking that I might start work on a second game. A city builder. This should be challenging, but I am going to try and plan it. It is going to be a tile based game but I am thinking about a way to do this. My main idea is to create so many buttons up and down the screen. Query the mouse position and whether it is clicking and when it clicks on one of the appropriate tiles then bring up a small UI so that you can choose what to build on it.

But I will start it tonight. As well as work more on my first game.

Anyway Cya later!

Im back

So recently a lot of things have been happening which has meant I have not had a lot of time and effort to put into game programming, But now that has changed. I still have to focus on my school work, but I can find time to program games again. I miss the feeling of joy when you realize that you have solved a problem and that when you complete your game you have achieved something.

Its gonna be different this time though. I am going to use purely C# and XNA and I will work on larger and larger 2D games to begin with. This will mean that I can easily put the finished product onto my website and I can move onto 3D quite easily when the time comes.

I just hope that I will be able to create the 2D games that I have in mind quickly so that people will come to my site and play these games because they enjoy them.
