Plan for Grant McNeil

Hey,

I've started a whole new Project. I'm creating a 2D Sidescrolling Platform game. I've decided im going to go through, and create the majority of the game by myself with Programmer Art (ugh...).

After i'm a good 80% in I could get an artist maybe to fill in the sprites with good ones. I mean, it would be good work, if you were an artist you know your work is actually going to be used.

I'm creating the design docs now, and a base diagram of the class structure and how I want the engine to flow.

and I've been toying with the idea of "2D ragdolls" :). each limb would have to be a seperate sprite on a different layer, but you could have the body move and limbs rotate differently depending on how the sprite is shot. it would be pretty cool.

I need some more stuff for my portfolio, so this should help. I'm planning to use my personal basecode for this.

anyway, I gotta get to work,
