I want to make my own video game!

One of my dreams since childhood was to be able to make my own game. I’ve tried a few times but do to my ADHD was never able to stick to it long enough to earn anything usefull. Well now that I’ve taken better control of my life and started taking ???, now is the time to start. 

I recently found that the app Godot was a good match up for me as I was able to understand the tutorials and videos.

As for what kind of game? I decided on an action platformer, something similar to Zelda 2, to be my first game project.

As for story? Wee since it's my first game I decided to go with the tried and true basic formula that always works, Hero saving the princess.

The hero is spending some time with her trusty knight when suddenly they are attacked and she gets taken. So now we have to rescue her.

Follow the monsters trail as it leads back to their hideout and rescue the girl.

I'm still working out the finer details like what happens in between, but I want to get some art assets ready while I think of those. Time to get to learning how to draw while making my game.

ADHD symptom alert (blunt honesty) addition; I actually started doing this during winter since my drive to write was so down from not getting enough exercise from going outside.

Hyperfocus Drawing Alert

So yesterday I decided to draw an anime style eye. Started by tracing one before switching how I finished it to make it more my own. Then I decided to make another one from scratch this time (seen below) and here's what I got after hours of drawing. Yeah, the ADHD hidden ability hyper-focus and time-blindness activated. As a result, my arms and now sore from overuse too bad hyper-focus makes me forget to take breaks. Ouch.

Game Diary 1 - Starting With NES Sprites

Image
  So I’m trying to make my own game, and the first thing I need are some sprites. Since I’m not an artist I’m going to have to learn first. So I used the app Resprite to make the following character using Link from Zelda 2 as a guide. While I do enjoy retro sprite art the style here is Zelda 2 and not my own. For this reason I’m going to expand beyond this to find my own style to use for the game.

Life Update Time

I needed a break from one of the stories I was working on. I was feeling it was becoming too influenced by political problems the US is facing which was also affecting my mental health. So I decided to just walk away from that for the time being and work on my video game which focuses n a much more simple and classic rescue the damsel in distress theme. As I was working on it I decided to start expanding it's story and the next thing I knew it started becoming a start for another light novel story.  So that's where I'm at now, making a new story based on the video game plot idea I came up with months ago.
