I'm going to make a game.
Sorry about the lack of updates, I've got a pretty good reason, and this is it:

I'm working on a side scrolling adventure platformer that I hope I'll be able to sell for 5 to 10 dollars a copy.

The name of the game is The Underside, and it's a game about an angry god who is going to destroy the world, and a small, mysterious character who is going to stop it. So far, the barebones plot's been written, and I have to say it's pretty good for just three days' worth of work.

I don't want to give away too much of the plot, because a lot of the game relies on it (It was originally gonna not have any enemies or anything like that).

So far, the basic movement and weapon code is done. I'm getting into this new art style that's a bit different from what I'm used to doing, but I'm gonna say it's a lot easier than what I've been doing, and in my opinion, looks a lot cooler.

The sound is gonna have a very retro feel to it, as is the gameplay, and the artwork. But that's not to say it'll look like complete shit, as a lot of "retro" games out there do.

As for how graphic the game will be, I'm aiming for what would be considered the equivalent of a PG or PG-13 rating. It's not gonna be excessively bloody (Though I might throw a tiny bit in there), and it's not going to have any explicit language. I do this because I want to maximize my audience.

As I said before, this is gonna be my first big project, and I'm gonna be selling it at 5 - 10 dollars a copy. I'm not exactly looking to turn a profit; I'm really doing this for the experience. As such, I don't want to sell a shitty product either, so I'm working my hardest to get everything to a relative level of professionalism. When it's done, I'm hoping the game will be a couple of hours long, excluding all the secret stuff I'll be adding. I'm a sucker for secret stuff, especially really obscure stuff.

Anyways, I'll keep you guys updated on the progress as it comes. Hopefully you'll understand why I haven't been updating as much recently, but I'll make a concerted effort to start writing more crap in the future.

Comments and well-wishes appreciated.
