What's Up Hivers!
I am Driver1 of Hive-Life. I have always been curious how video games were created. So, I took it upon myself, and as a life challenge, to learn and make my own! After months of reading, videos, tutorials, and time, I found something that worked easier for me. Simplicity is a key to life. And I wanted my work-flow to be very simple. I am still learning many different platforms and approaches. My main thing is just to start where I am currently, and to use the tools that are In front of me. This Is my very first try at creating a project. You have to start somewhere, right? And I also realize that there are many talented hardcore gamers/developers/players out there, but this is just mainly for fun, for me... So Everyone Just... Take A Deep Breath, Relax, & Chill Bro:)
Back To The Game
It is a simple game where the main character (XO-Riser) runs/jumps on different sized platforms; In order to grab virtual coins. (Maybe one day, these virtual coins will be actual Hive Liquid Tokens... Hmmm Idea? :) So In this game, I will share my process and screen shot my journey. During the course of my journey, I will slowly add different elements to the Game, and you will be right there along side of me. I will grow, and the game will grow too. I will be using the Struckd Game Maker Platform on Steam. And a very BIG Thanks to the folks over at Struckd, as well as the community of developers and creators. Using Steam, you can create, and also share your game Ideas. The Platform uses Prepackaged Characters, Backgrounds, Elements, and Settings. There are many more items added on a daily/weekly basis. You just manually go in and arrange your game to your own liking. It is up to you how you want to strategize your game/games, and how In depth you want to make it. The sky is the limit! I labelled the starting Block "Driver1", because I hadn't had the name of the project yet. But, I think that I like the name "Project: XO-Riser". "XO", really just sounded like a cool precursor to a name. And the meaning of Riser, is because the main character is constantly rising/jumping to grab coins. No matter what obstacles may get into his way. Kind of like life, huh? lol...So, join me as I share some screen shots of my process and progress... Enjoy!!
Also...
If you want to create a game/project, on the platforms that I mention, you are more than welcomed to... But, I am In no way responsible if your project/downloading/setup/game/experiences, should not work out. There's my disclaimer:)
