A game design concept in the making: Adventures In SpyGames (Update): Part #8

 Hello its Bimonthly Bonus blogging time again, and its personal project update time again! Because today I'm giving another quick update on Adventures In SpyGames.

When we last left off, I discussed my progress with the video and the title and intro sequence. Today Im giving some quick updates on where things are now.

Well unfourtunatly, it seems that that hope I had was temporary, because ive ran into yet more snags. First off, adding live action transitions is pretty much becoming a no go at this point. I cant film stuff myself because the of the enivorment requirements and I cant fake it with renderign either due to having insuffiecent hardware. I did try to have to contact a 3d animator offering to make some backrounds for me, but after I never got a followup and because I ultimatly thought that sharing back and forth would be a little too akward, I abandoned it.

But that isnt even the worse part, now im having trouble with the engine itself! Now take a look at this footage

You notice the black sections of the screen right? thats supposed to be where the Graphics Magician graphics come in. but every time I edit a scene and try to debug it, This happens:

.

Yep, It just refuses to load back it, and I have to reset it, EVERY, SINGLE, TIME! Also the syntax is becoming a problem too. I cant get certain elements to show up and save properly.

And the worse part of it all, my own personal life, job struggles, and responsibilities are just creeping in more and more! I know I have to focus on other things and Im torn between continuing with this project and continuing on with my life.

But the Goon news is, I think I have mostly worked out the story so all i need to do is just get stuff working.

So to sum it up, I need to

1). Hopefully find a better enine

2. Somehow get ahold of some more first person footage for each of these actions.

3). Work out the actual code and software more.

Honestly, I think im just at my limit, I have to face the fact that this project may just be beyond me and if i cant get at least a working demo by the end of next month,Still, I have one small glimmer of hope in me and I dont plan to let that go. I hope I can get through this and reach that light at the end of the tunnel, but until then that wraps it up for my entry today, as always, Thanks for reading! see you next time!
