Doom’s Date: Narrative

Hey! it’s been a while since I posted about personal projects but I am working on the narrative to the dating game. It is really hard to get the dialogue to match each other in a good way and to create all the choices that we want the player to have. After a lot of back and forward on which engine to use, we went from Unity to C++ with SFML and then Philip found a perfect match! http://www.renpy.org/ which is the perfect way to create a dating game with so if we can get the dialogue done then we are really close to a finished product 🙂 So that is what I am working on at the moment. I’ll let you know when it’s done 😀

Doom’s Date Another Update

Yesterday, me and my fellow programmer spent the entire day working on the game. We made some progress but not as much as we wanted to. However, the hurdle that we overcame was a big one. Now we can print out dialogue with a typewriting effect 😀 It also proves that there is always good to have a brain but even better when there are two! Looking forward to our next session and I really have to get going on the dialogue because that is really going to be a tough one.

A small update but just letting you know that we are still working on it 🙂

Doom’s UpDate

Today we discussed how we wanted to structure our work. Me and my fellow programmer wrote down what we wanted to structure it with classes and stuff.

I know I said that we would do this in Unity but after some research and testing we decided that it was not the best platform for our game. SFML was our second choice and we will make it work the best we can 😀

Besides the programming I will focus on the dialogue tree and make that work as well, together with our artist.

Game Jam: Doom’s Date

A couple of days ago we had a game jam at our university. In a game jam usually you get words and you have to create a game containing those words. The words that were given to us was “Everyday” and “Doom”. We had 7 hours to complete this game using game maker, we decided pretty quickly about something that we thought was doable during that short period. We decided to make a dating game where the player had to win the heart of Dr. Doom.

It was greatly appreciated at the show floor and we won the prize for best interpretation of the words. 😀 Because of the fact that we had to cut a lot of content some of us decided to continue and make it better using Unity instead of Game maker. I will update as the project progresses 🙂

We have begun to work out the dialogue tree and hopefully it will work out great 😀
