Hello people~

What happened to me? Lot's of things! I changed my life a bit and I went through a few major crises. Nothing too bad really~ but I needed some time to think and organize.

I had an idea for a game a few years ago. And I made a plan towards it. And I started working on the prototype!



Here is the vision:

You play as a giant monster and stomp through a fantastical world full of villages and epic cities. It is some kind of Sandbox RPG simulation kind of game. You fight against armies, raid, conquer or destroy cities, etc. But you can choose how you want to play. Do you want to be a tyrant or a protector? You can make your own religion, you can enslave people, liberate villages, battle evil wizards or devour innocent civilians. Learn new skills like breathing fire, ice or lightning, use psychic powers or make your skin unpenetrable. Build your own creature, grow to immense sizes and shape the world.

The gameplay gives you precise control over your creature, controlling feet, tail, mouth and tongue separately. You can scare micros, play with them, help them or kidnap them etc. People will remember how you treat them! That is, if you leave any of them alive~ You can find hidden treasures and empires, uncover secrets, explore different fantastical places. You start making your own creature by selecting a base creature (like an animal) and then customizing it (like giving it horns, wings, changing the tail, color, etc). Later you will be able to unlock new abilities on a big skill tree.


Tell me what your thoughts are on this! Would you want to play such a game?

I am not sure yet how best to fund the development. My full time job as a fullstack developer keeps me busy for most of the day so my time to work on the game are currently limited to a few hours a day. Maybe I get unemployed again, that would give me more time~ (but I don't have a lot of savings!) I am thinking crowd funding or a publisher. If many people think making this game is a good idea then it will be easier for me to find money for this.

I will post the first prototype version in a few weeks. It will be very bare bones and allow you to stomp some prototype buildings as a prototype T-Rex. I want to get feedback as early as possible and work on it more iteratively, which means I am building the absolute minimalist version possible and then expand from there. Maybe I post some screenshots if there is interest.

I am excited about how it goes and hearing about your opinion!
