Every so often various Active Worlds community projects get the ability to put their project “out” there for everyone to see and experience in some form or fashion. One of the newer events on the block to provide this service in AW, is the Active Worlds Expo which is a yearly event. Last year we participated for our first game, AWRPG (Active Worlds Role Playing Game), and because that booth was a great success we were more than happy to oblige the invitation we received this year to showcase both AWRPG and Ashianae’s Journey. This year however we will not only have booths for both games, but we will be giving a presentation on Ashianae’s Journey, specifically relating to the steps involved in creating an Indie (independent) RPG.
There are an incredible amount of things that factor into the creation of an RPG, many of which we are discovering along the way and hopefully failing at (quickly) and then correcting (just as quickly). While there are an incredible amount of factors that go into the creation of RPGs, not all of them are interesting or things you want to hear about which brings me to the point of this here post: What would you like to know about, when it comes to the creation of RPGS? Let us know, and we’ll include them in our presentation and do our best to give you a glimpse of how those things have effected Ashianae’s Journey. So… What do you want to hear about? What do you want to see? Are there things you’d like to hear about that don’t exactly pertain to the creation of the game, but relate to the final outcome of the game itself? If so, let us know!
More updates about Ashianae’s Journey to come soon. Thanks for reading!
Development. Where did the idea come from? A walkthrough of the city would be cool. walkthrough of the realm and the build feature. Maybe show what we created the other day lol…Maybe some character designs if there will be any by the time of the Expo. A look at the Graphics portion. hmmm….I think presenting everything using the game itself instead of talking the whole time would be more entertaining as well.
I think a trailer of sorts would be cool. Maybe throw some what’s to come things in there. Maybe show some behind the scenes whats going on.
I think as far as the RPG thing, would be nice to see the planning process.
Going along the lines of what daniel said..
Mabey a bit of behind the scenes stuff, whats to come, Mabey some things from inside the game ie, forests,cities etc.
Anything would be great
We’re definitely intending to much of the things that were mentioned up above. We’re really interested in giving people a glimpse into how some of these things will look. I’m curious how well received some of it will be because being an Indie game tends to define some of the ways in which the RPG looks, compared to big commercial RPGs. But we’ll see how everyone likes what we have to show
