A couple days ago I created an account at Reddit finally after a year of browsing on it. A couple days later I found a link from the Programming sub-reddit to this wonderful website! I don't really know the point of this journal but it seems like too good of a thing to ignore. Let me post some information not only for others who are interested, but for myself. Hopefully this will help keep me motivated and focused on my path of game development!!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My name is Josh.

I am 21.

Male.

Currently Enlisted in the United States Navy.

I have a family.

I am going to college on the Navy's dime, because I couldn't pay for it and work before I joined.

My degree path is currently towards Network Security.

I have other hobbies such as working out, video games, and reading.

I have been working on and off for the last 4 years on my "Game".

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Current Project:



Genre: Monster Raising Role Playing

Platform: Browser based MMO

Looking to Create W/: HTML5 and Flash atm [Any recommendations for a good language to use for a browser based game?]

Gameplay: Dynamic dungeons, breeding, monster customization, personal farm with the ability to expand, arenas (Against Computers and Players), big boss battles, monster teams of 3 and much more!

Inspired From: Pokemon, Monster Rancher, Digimon, Dragon Warrior Monsters, Jade Cocoon and Azure Dreams.

Looking for any freelance artist and writers to contribute!
(I have nothing but in game credit to offer at the moment!)

SO!

Now that I have it out there, plenty of information on me, enough information on my game, I feel pretty good now. Motivated to continue working on my Game Development Design (GDD). Which I have realized is not a simple thing to do. So I am going to tailor one to my specific needs! It will be pretty in depth and enough to give others a good idea of what my game is about. How it will be played. The main features of my game.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Short term goals:

GET V1.0 OF MY GDD FINISHED! [Day 2 - Currently in progress]
Post GDD on forum(s) and hopefully receive constructive criticism!
