New blog for posting game dev
I decided that I should be blogging about my experience and progression in making games. The game that I am currently working on is a third-person shooter that is heavily inspired by a game called Spellbreak. When I first saw Spellbreak I was immediately drawn to the way gameplay. It’s basically a third-person shooter where you play a mage and its a battle royale game, for my game I want to not have it be a competitive multiplayer game, rather more single-player focused.
I am taking a lot of inspiration from other magical games called Magicka and Wizards of legend. I need to either play to understand each of their mechanics but I know for sure that Spell break has a similar mechanic to Magika where magic spells can combine and cancel one another out, such as fire melting ice creating a new element; steam.
The progress of the game at the moment is still in the early stages of getting the character to move and camera movement. So I didn’t think that was important to show until I have a little more done. I don't want this post to get too long as I plan to make a video with a voice-over going through what my plans are for the game. For now, I’ll end this here and leave a link to my Pinterest board to show some of my inspirations. At the moment there are 3 boards with the names: MageTPS_ Icons, MageTPS_CharacterDesign, and MageTPS_FX (https://www.pinterest.com/polynymous/). I also don’t have a name for the game at the moment so I just call it MageTPS or project mage or something. I’m always open to C&C and suggestions.
