So, I’m a student at ITT-Technical University, and I’m in my final class before I graduate with my bachelors. ITT itself, is a horrible school, at least from where I’m sitting. The atmosphere, awful… the people, lazy! Now, I AM a people person, so it’s not like I’ve gone out of my way to mess with people. That’s just the way I see it.

Anyway, I’ve started development on my final for the school, as a team of one. The rest of the class is in their own team (of Five), so I’m basically outgunned here. Also, they’re making a 3-D game, so my game might not be as noticeable sitting next to their’s… even if I know nobody has programming experience. But, i’ve got one thing the others don’t: Experience.

This is why I picked up Torque Game Builder and the Platformer Code. Now, I’ve just got to alter the code and create all of my assets. What I’ve posted is the very first thing you’ll see once you start up the game, except from the editor’s point of view. So far, I’ve got very simple houses, trash cans, fences and brick walls. I’m going to make it all prettier, but that’s not my main goal at the moment.

I’ve got to get Ori (My character) working in the engine since I’ve completed all of the required animations. Even one where she’s beating your face with a FISH! I’m going to make a FUN and enjoyable game before anything else, so once I get the basics down, the first level will be retooled over and over until ‘I’ think I have fun game mechanics.

I’ll post more information as I continue, and then the game for everyone to play for FREE! :)
