Plan for Mark Barner

Plans for making our first game. Our project name is: "Kilo-watt: The quest for power". What is it about? It is a game based somewhat on the Mad Max movies. Tribes/clans will be fighting over gasoline, oil and other energy sources.

Since my last post on Oct 1, 2005... I got my computer back up and running. I lost very little data which was a relief.

A couple of months ago we decided to startup a new project. It was going to be a Battlefield type game. Well, after putting things down on paper, things kind of went a different direction. I guess when we talked about features in different games we liked, we developed a better idea for a game we wanted to make.

Here is what we got so far:

The team consists of myself and Rick Morrison. Our project name is: "Kilo-watt: The quest for power". What is it about? It is a game based somewhat on the Mad Max movies. Tribes/clans will be fighting over gasoline, oil and other energy sources.

What is our goals?
- to learn TGE
- to make a game
- to experiment on code for future game ideas
- to learn game development

Rules
- can only use free or low cost software ($0-$300 price range)
- use content packs for quick prototyping
- use GG community resources
- keep notes

In progress
- notes for game/ideas (legal pad)
- links to resources (webpage)
- setting up dummy objects/interiors for prototyping
- integrating content packs for prototyping
- weekly .plans to track progress (GG blogs)

What to do next?
- do a quick prototype with content packs (2-3 weeks)

...possible hurdles
- family life
- holiday season
- end of earth as we know it (game becomes reality)
