1 Week To Make A Game - Day 1

And so it begins. Can I do it? Will it actually be fun once it is done?

For most of today, things were looking pretty bleak. I had planned on making this day my main planning day. Ideas and design and whatnot. Well, my mind was blank. I couldn't think of ANYTHING.

A quick shower, though, solved all of my problems. I do my best thinking in there for some reason. (as I am sure many can relate with) I have to admit, though, that this is a game idea I have had for a long time now. It was the shower that made me realize that it was perfect for my challenge.

The premise is simple. A little boy is dreaming, and the world is his dream. A strange cave appears in the distance. Dare he enter? Outside the cave sits a bard. He tries to talk to him but he just goes on and on about absorbing bullets or something weird like that. The boy enters the cave.

In the cave the boy encounters beasts and monsters of all sorts. Why are they here? Can't stop and think now, they are attacking!

The boy is filled with magical powers as he rises into the air. What is this strange power? It is not merely the boy, someone, something is helping him! A ring of bright crimson materializes around him. The boy is astonished, but he suddenly remembers the words of the bard. "...Absorb bullets with the proper color, and then you may shoot them right back!..." The boy concentrates.. PCHOW! A red orb of light bursts from the ring, frying the monster into cinders.

Don't understand? Tomorrow will explain further, as I work as hard as I can to get this done.

Wish me luck!
