FIRST POST REDUX

Testing... testing... is this thing on? Awesome.

All right, I've finally figured out what I'm going to do with this thing. I will use it as a Development Blog for my (solitary) participation in National Video Game Writer's Month, or NaViGaWriMo. I will begin planning the game some time this month, begin coding on December 1st, and release the game on January 1st. For lack of a tangible goal (you novelists have your 50k mark to hit), my goal is to make a game that I am sufficiently satisfied with to release upon the world.

The obvious question that I ask myself is what, exactly, I'll be posting on this blog. Well... stuff. Various thoughts. Describing the development process. Throwing out gameplay ideas for feedback purposes. If I can find a decent free file-hosting service, maybe even limited demos expressing single aspects or features of the final product.

For the rest of November, however, there will be precious little here. Speculations as I try and decide what kind of game I'm going to make.

STAY TUNED!
