I can't code. I can't do graphics. I can't make a decent tune leap out of my speakers.
As you can probably tell the game development process is quite hard going.
But gosh darn it I'm going to finish it.
I've been messing around with tile-sets to create my game world in RPG Maker VX Ace and it is very confusing and fiddly but I've almost got there. Doing everything monochrome is taking time but is quicker than doing full colour sprites and tile-sets.
The monochrome minimalist style has it's own problems however as it all has to be very crisp and clean or it gets confusing on screen when all the action is happening.
I will try writing and using scripts but I think that will wait to another game as I want to get my current project code-named "Blackout" done and sorted without getting bogged down. I feel the game works perfectly fine without any fancy stuff and any more would be gilding the lily.
Also with the sound I was going to go for a few twinkly piano bits rather than a full blown score. I definitely wanted sound as this is something I need to get my head round in future.
I'm seeing this as a learning curve rather than a problem and I have learnt alot of techniques and short-cuts that have really helped speed things along.
I've realised how big a task making a game is but I'm digging in. I definitely want to get it completed and out.
Go Team Perseverance! Yay!
