Jono's game dev blog

Over the last few weeks I've been working on a top down action adventure game, inspired by games like The Legend of Zelda. If you follow me on twitter and missed the original few tweets and the few screenshots I've posted you've probably been wondering what the hell I've been talking about. The main character is a maid because I like the look of the outfits, so I decided to build the story and character around that. She's mainly inspired by characters from various anime series and Sakuya Izayoi from the Touhou series. She'll be able to use a variety of melee and gun based weapons along with a few cleaning tools for puzzles and boss fights. The story isn't really a priority at the moment and is subject to change but it currently involves the main character fighting demons and the undead to rescue her master who is at the top of the mansion in some room. I'm currently working towards making a small representation of the game which I'll hop...

It's been a while since my last update for multiple reasons, I'm still working on Legacy of Barubash, I now have some semblance of a social life and I've also started on a solo game project. It doesn't sound like much but it's been enough to keep me busy enough to not update this blog which is admittedly low on my priority list. I've found that I don't really like the review format I'm currently using, it's not really that restricting but it feels too formal to me and I usually end up wasting time writing about certain sections that I don't really care about which feels like a waste of my time, it's usually the sound and music part that I find hard to write about because I don't really understand the critical language or have a very good understanding of music and sound. I'm also getting rid of the scores because my reviews and thoughts on media aren't very objective and I can easily see how my own biases influence my reviews....
