Start Of Experiment

This experiment is inspired by gamasutra article (http://www.gamasutra.com/features/20051026/gabler_01.shtml) which talks about prototyping games under 7 days.

Most rules will be similar to original article with exceptions that there are only 2 people in team and that first one is assigned for game code, while second is assigned for graphics. This is more real since most programmers aren't good at graphics design and vice versa.

Here are the original rules:
  1. Each game must be made in less than seven days,
  2. Each game must be made by exactly one person,
  3. Each game must be based around a common theme i.e. "gravity", "vegetation", "swarms", etc.
So rule 2. won't count for this experiment.


Tools we'll be using:
  • FreeBASIC + HGE (graphics library) + Fmod (audio library)
  • Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop
We tentatively plan to work on experiments until end of year. But we may end up sooner or later.

For the first theme we have chosen leaves (as in foilage).
Stay updated for progress report.
