Dog Days – Dementia

http://rmrk.net/index.php/topic,46509.0.html

RMRKs “Dog Days of August” contest has begun, with three guilds competing, one of which I am involved in.  We have decided to make a survival horror game as our month-long project entry -named ‘Dementia’- and have a video teaser created by one of our people.  Although I usually take up a heavy interest in story/writing and creating the progression in my projects, I’ve taken a more laid back role this time and just letting the story be written by those who have created it, giving me time to just focus on creating art.  The game will be set mostly in a hospital; not only have I yet to make horror graphics, but modern/hospital horror is especially new to me, so I’m excited about making and finding stuff for this!

So, have been working on blood and dirt stains mostly for now, as well as various walls and floors, but have plans for more stuff later on.  I would post up some images about it, but I think right now I’d get into bother if I made any of our resources/plans findable, especially by the other guilds!  I don’t know what else I’ll be getting into yet, but will be getting as much done as possible over the month, especially with the three secret “Challenges” we have ahead of us, so I’ll keep posting; it’s great fun so far!  Looking forward to getting more created!

Steam Summer Sales (+Dog Days)

Oh dear lord, the good and bad news piles on at once.  I’m a total game addict, I live for playin’ games and havin’ fun; so steam’s summer sale and introduction of both the flash sales and community choice sales has flooded me with games I want and reckless abandon for overspending.  The good news, at least, is that with the bank fuck-up over the past month, they’ve reimbursed me with enough money to buy up a fair few of the games I want; and what better time, when most of them are beneath a fiver!?

Of course, this means that I’m focussing on making a bit less and getting in some playing, since I’ve hardly played a game all summer, although I still want to participate in RMRKs Dog Days of August guilds event!
