Hello! I have started today developing a new mobile video game, and I thought I would share my experience and workflow. I will post here every few days and update. This game will hopefully be ready by the first of January, but we'll see, I'm known to take breaks in development. This game will be called A.TOM, but that'll likely change. I currently am not going to say exactly what the game is, I would like it to be a surprise / guess work from you people. But I will say its a abstract strategy game. It's different to my other projects because this game will contain mainly story and flat graphics rather then fancy graphics and complex code like I'm used to.

 

A few stats:   

  • This is my third commercial app project.
  • This is my first app that'll be available out of my worldwide.
  • I use the programming and design console "LiveCode" 
  • I use "InkScape" for garphic design. 
  • This will be my first BIG project.

Hope you enjoy! Ill post in a few hours my first post about what I do at the beginning of every project, commercial or not.

 

A.TOM out. lol

Lol, Mobile, but I might make it into a PC game.

 

(just saying in advance no iOS version, it costs too much money and is too complicated, sorry)

If your game gets really popular will it go IOS?

BTW, you can have our MAcbook (from 2000) and my Iphone 1! :laughing:

All the words in the spoiler are unclear:

Question-What kind of art style will it be?

Is the software free?

 

I’ve been looking for a free coding software for years and have never found one which can make an actual app. Sighs*

Yes, it has paid versions, but that's mainly for like big companies that need spacial stuff, the free version is more then great (except for the fact apple limits you making apps for 5he app store without paying 5he paid version) the main problem with LiveCode is that there isn't a big user base, so not much info, but DM for more pros and cons.
