| Inspired by the movie "Wayne's World," I started on my first real 3D effort, Zantar. I hope I can keep working on it, as the concept seems pretty cool to me.
For those who don't know, Zantar is a gelatinous cube that eats warriors in a medieval village. In the movie "Wayne's World" Zantar had to devour a chiefton to ascend to a higher level (the best part being that you couldn't get to the higher level, so kids would keep popping in quarters to the arcade). While being funny, that wouldn't exactly make for a good game, so I think I'm going a different route.
So far, I have a small test level, Zantar (who is a bit gelatinous and very cube-like) rolling around, and some really crappy warriors who don't do anything. Since I don't know anything about 3D, I'm doing this as a 2D-to-3D stepping stone, and it will not look all that great. But it's all right, I'm focusing on gameplay and learning more about Blitz3D.
From the amount of time I've spent working on Super Moron Idiot, I imagine this will take about 24 to 48 months before it's playable. Give or take a year. Or two. |
