How about some old school games?
This were exactly my thoughts when I was searching for something to relax my overburnt brain from work on steam. Then I tried App Store. The Google Store.
In all of the respect that I have for these great stores. I was really not feeling like gaming. But I terribly needed to game.
"So we do not have game!" I thought.
But what kind of game where you searching for Theo? That is a very good question. Next question.
So the point was not that there were not good games on the store. The point was that there were not as many games like ´Darkest Dungeon´ and such ( yeah i was kinda still praying for DD2 to come public ). This kind of old schoold reminishing turn based style. That lives up to its name of being seriously enjoyable ( not by everyone ). So after some beers and dusting off my old folders on my local WD backup, I found out that this amazing .xlsx file. "MainGameDesign" This was a file that I was always asking from myself to develop further. Though I was never sure, courageous or even ready enough to be honest with you. Reasons? Plenty!
Maybe because I never felt that I am capable of managing to implement such a huge / small dream . Yeah you read correct. Huge / Small dream. Huge because I always felt that there is so very much behind this concept. Small because it was always not cheesy enough to make me start.
So I opened the file and... ...it was good! It was quite good. Apparently I never expected that I would have done such a good job in designing something that interesting in terms of describing different entities for a turn based RPG game. Next step the data.
All of it...
And for you to get a small idea about what I am talking about.
Here is a small picture to trigger your imagination until the next post ( sushi is here ) ...
