You might've noticed I haven't been doing too many videos (at least, of my analyses) lately. This is due to me and a few others trying to come up with a game concept along with a Story Worth Telling™.
It all started with Fixing ME3. My team was going to go all out, but we realized it's not our IP. Sure, you guys would like it, but it's so much work for little return. So, we're doing our own thing.
(Note: I will be doing a Dragon Age: Inquisition plot analysis. Bioware is on very shaky ground, so it took me a while to finally check it out. Such, DAI is very important, and will determine the level of respect I have for the company. I wanted various opinions from those who have tried, to see if it's worth the praise it's getting.)
We're at the point where we need some new blood: creative types. Not just visual artists, but engineers of all sorts. (Specifically, I think a creative director would be key.) So if you're interested in jumping into indy gamedev...now's your chance.
We're all learning Unity3D. We have a nice series of video tutorials for learning the basics if you're interested in learning. Everything else is good ol game design, and writing.
So, if you ever wanted to make a game based on a Story Worth Telling™, hit me up. Leave a comment here, message me at smudboy at yahoo dot com, or leave a message directly to my youtube account.
Hey there! Thanks for your vids!
ReplyDeleteI e-mailed you on the indy game you guys are doing. I hope it won't be flagged as span, because it has link in it and it's from .ru zone.
Cheers.
Where can I find more info on Story Worth Telling™?
ReplyDeletehttp://meyerfoundation.org/impact/stories-worth-telling I think this is what he was talking about. If he wasnt talking about this, he can delete it.

ReplyDeleteBy engineers you mean programmers? you already have Unity as engine so you dont need a John Carmark engi to create another one.
"or leave a message directly to my youtube account. "
PM no longer works on YT, at not the way i used to.
"Sure, you guys would like it, but it's so much work for little return."
Well that is Art in a nutshell since its not very profitable in the first place. You will eventually have the fires relit and piece by piece you will manage to complete it.

Yes, we're not exactly engineers, but we're programmers. Brent (Retrospective Introspective) and Smud are learning Unity right now, I fortunately already have experience with it. I will also be doing Interface design, QA and some other production things that need doing.
DeleteAnyway, I'm interested. I got a Bachelor's Degree in Software Engineering and I delved a bit in Unity so I have an idea how it works.
ReplyDeletemy email is from aol.com, I hope my email wont get targeted as spam. I have an idea for the game but it can be changed.

ReplyDeleteSorry for deleting it, I have posted this:
DeleteYou guys are making a game? That's awesome! The ideas you put in Fixing ME2 and ME3 were great. I wish you guys luck!
And then I realized that I have confused Fixing ME3 with some of the videos of it, and that it was never released. I try to edit the comment and I delete for accident.
Do you have an ETA on this analysis
