Making a game

Shame on me! In the entire 3 years of keeping a "Game Dev" journal I haven't documented the development of a single game. The games I did make were before I started keeping a blog.

Of the three games I've made there is only one that I play often. It is a Pocket PC game called Ka Ba. Ka Ba is a turn based combat game between Anubis and Ra. It's simple to play and random enough so that every game is unique. I'm going to create a version of this game for the desktop environment. It will be called...

Path of WarTM

Anubis and Ra probably won't be in it and I'm hoping to have a larger number of characters and classes. Also I'd like to add group battles and network play.

I want the game to be platform independent. I'll be testing with Windows and Ubuntu (I don't own a Mac.. yet). I'll be writing some small rendering code first then I'll get to work on a series of editors. Of course I've already started on the design doc and I'll be constructing a physical board version played with dice. I did this during Ka Ba development and it really helped smooth out the gameplay.

It is my goal to post every couple of days with an update. I will be following through on this project. Stay tuned.
