Yes, you are at the right place.


For my first post in nearly a year, I am going to answer some pretty standard questions that some of you may have.  Hopefully, I can just link back to this post for future reference and new comers alike.

What engine are you using?
Construct 2 with CocoonJS for converting HTML5 to an APK.

Where can I try this engine for free?
www.scirra.com

When did you start this project?
Well, its been floating around in my head for years.  I finally started putting things into motion about a year ago.  After trying a few different engines (GameMaker, RPG Maker, Genesis2D, among many others) and teaching my self the concepts behind an event driven game.  I found that C2 offered the best tools for what I needed to do.  I started learning the program in early December 2012 and purchased a license in April 2013.

How do you create the graphics you are using?
I use a mix of free textures and Adobe Illustrator on my tablet. Everything else is done in Photoshop.  Most graphics are just place makers and do not represent the final product.

What's it all about?
Can't discuss that yet but there will be an official About page in the coming weeks.  You can read the storyline there.

Can I have your babies?
No

Here I am setting up basic character movements, collisions, tiling, and NPC names.  I am building this game with comfort and ease in mind.  Too many mobile games have clunky controls that take up half the screen.  Am I right?
