Finally finished Rhetta’s sprites...... He has a slightly more complex design than Ambi, so I kinda put off doing it...

Got sprite tests out of the way, I’ll be using the same/a similar style when I start development on Courier for real! I’ll be participating in My First Game Jam in early January, so I hope I can motivate myself to finish at least a demo!

To anyone who happened to stumble upon this blog: This is a blog for my project. I am not skilled in programming, and have little to no experience making games. However, it is one of my dreams to make (or be involved in making) a game. I am an artist, and I am hoping to take a course in Video Game Art next year. Because of this, I want to try making a game before then, in my free time. I’m hoping to build the game on Game Maker, but I may resort to RPG Maker depending on the time I have available, and how quickly I can work. About the game...

The player will take the role of a courier, delivering letters between inhabitants of an island. The game will include lots of walking to and from locations, and you will visit the same areas multiple times. To make this a more interesting experience, I will be aiming to make each location look unique, and maybe add weather/other changes to environment. 

Other vague ideas: -Ability to read through letters before delivering them. Dialogue may change depending on whether the player peeks at letters. -Each house has inbox/outbox. -Dangerous routes that mean finding a new path.

Obviously this project is still a concept, but this blog is to document the progression from a bunch of ideas to a playable game. Thanks for reading??
