#unless i get too frustrated w the game i'm going to be coding *this* weekend

[thegempage]

OKAY SO the more i talk about this idea the more devoted i become to it, and to prove that i’m gonna lay out some Plans for the game and a (possible) sequel

the basic plan goes like this (it’s long, sorry!). feel free to reply/im/send asks if you have feedback or just wanna shout at me about it!!

(edit: made a google doc in case reading this on my blog is hard!)

content developing wise, i’m gonna try to stream at least once a weekend (Sat or Sun), aiming for early afternoon (PST), on youtube. each stream will be roughly an hour, maybe an hour and a half if there’s bug fixing i want to do in one sitting or i get super into something. music and such i’ll probably take suggestions for.

i’ll probably explain some of what i’m doing or answer any questions about how i’m coding the game that i get through chat. i’m by no means an expert, but a dress up game is one thing i know i can code, and such a big one is going to take a lot of layering and careful planning.

game content-wise, i’m thinking the first/main game will be the Starblaster crew, Kravitz, and Angus (that’s nine total characters holy --). Each character will get 3-4 body shapes/types, 5-6 skin tone variations, and different ear/nose size/shapes. then, each character gets several hairstyles and hair colors, two or three accessories (jewelry, beard flowers, robes, etc) with several options each, roughly eight shirts + pants + shoes + hats/hair accessories (each; some w/ color choices), and 3-4 props to choose from; all of which will match across body type choices, so you can have the same outfit on a character no matter which body type you go for

i’m obv gonna sketch out a bunch of designs for each wardrobe, but i’m also open to suggestions (esp if you come to a stream!!) so long as i don’t get spammed; and who knows, maybe if i get enough suggestions i like i’ll make an expanded version : P

the theoretical sequel would be characters like killian, carey, sloane, hurley, magic brian, mavis, mookie, etc with the same basic idea as above

oh! and although saving was part of the original game, I h i g h l y doubt it’ll be part of this one, as that code is just... man, i’m already shooting for the moon, here, no need to head to jupiter.

(secret threequel idea, if you got this far: a group game! so you can put together characters in poses, for stuff like family photos or shippy things. s u p e r unlikely right at this moment, as even game one is going to be a huge task, but i just thought of it and thought you’d like to hear it. thanks for reading all of this!)
