I'm in a amazing mood today because me and some other guys from a university computer club decided to have a game development workshop. We plan on working the whole weekend and hope to get at least a playable demo done by then (I'm pretty sure we won't have a perfectly complete game by then, especially considering that the game idea is very open ended and we don't know how long it will be).
After a little discussion we decided that an Zelda-like action RPG was the most fun game to develop. We are now a couple of hours into development and have had a rocket start :D The idea of the game is that it will be played in different epochs of the fantasy world it will be set in. You play as the worlds hero spirit that reincarnates as different warriors. The first epoch is at the very beginning of the world. It is a visionary grandfather and his enthusiastic little grandchild Kip which created the new world. At first there is almost nothing but plain wasteland. Your job is to help your grandfather start up this new world and stand up againt the first evil that the world sees (which would be something very innocent like a crocodile or something like that) with a... wooden stick. Yes... kids do play with sticks :D
Then the spirit moves on to a new epoch where the world needs it's hero once again. This time it's not so innocent, but you will play as an older character. For each new epoch the world grows more and more complex and more and more evil...
Hopefully we will atleast have most of the first epoch done by the end of this weekend
