My name is Nathanael Holmes and I am a junior in high school. I was asked by my teacher to complete a project over the course of the year. She encouraged us to pursue something that we were passionate about. Since I love video games, I chose to create one for my project.
I would someday like to major in software engineering, so I thought it would be fun to create my own game this year. The game I want to be create will be heavily inspired by Megaman. Since this is my first time doing something like this, I really do not know much about how games are created, so it is going to take a lot of work and research. By the end of the school year, I hope to have a game that I am proud to have created.
I am writing this blog to document my journey.
This is the timeline that I have planned:
September: Research game engines and view online tutorials to find a game engine that will work for me.
October: Create a minimal viable product that basically will be a rough starting point. I will need to be able to program basic visuals and a character.
November: Work on background visuals and art style
December: By this point, I would like to at least have a playable level, with visuals included
January: Work on audio, which will include sound effects and music
February: Complete a rough playable demo and begin to have people try it
March: Use feedback to fix problems or add new things
April: Expand upon the game, general expansion
May: Will have created a full, playable demo or beta version
May: Will have created a full, playable demo or beta version
If you would like to contact me, please leave a comment. I will review it and get back with you. Thank you.
Cool that Nathanael!
