So, this game that I'm working on... · 10:18pm Sep 23rd, 2012
It's going to be a pretty big deal. For those of you wondering where I've been (which I suspect is none of you), my time's been split 50/50 between this game and college. But lemme tell you, it's paying off. Things are coming along nicely, and our ranks are growing pretty quickly.
For those of you who don't know, I'm currently leading an MLP game development team. While I won't talk about what the game is about, especially because it's going under something of a re-write (I'll get to that in a second), I can say that things are going increasingly well, and I'm honored to work with such a talented team.
Right now, our lineup includes SilFoe in charge of the art department, Huussii doing concept art for the environments, and Seventh Element, Radix, and Captian Fluffatun working on the music. Programming the game are two fellows by the names of Sharla and Tyler, and in charge of all the design, hiring and management is myself.
Now, when I said that I'd get to that whole re-write business, it's because someone else has also joined our ranks. Someone you've probably heard of. While I planned on writing the game's story myself (and will certainly have a hand in it still), I don't really have the time or skills to do it all myself, so I've brought on the illustrious Pen Stroke to write the story for the game.
So yeah, this is gonna be good.
The image reminds me of the ending scene in halo reach when noble six helmet is left lying on the ground.
For the music are you guys gonna go for a epic orchestraist vibe like:
or
or are going for a more Nintendo feel like:
or
or a dark and gritty approach such as:

Just asking!
Did you really get Pen Stroke in on this!? I can tell this is gonna be good!

As far as the music, we're really having some fun experimenting and trying different things, so it's hard to say exactly what it will sound like. So far, we've been doing the orchestral thing, though not quite as epic as the likes of two steps from hell or anything like that. The focus thus far with the music is to make each song unique and memorable, like the Legend of Zelda series or other similar classics. You know, a tune that really gets stuck in your head after your done playing; the kind of song that, if you hear it playing on a tv or as someone's ringtone, you jump up and shout "THAT'S (insert character)'S THEME!"
An example of the kind of sound we're going for is more like this:
It probably won't be quite this epic, but the important thing is that it's militaristic, and that it's catchy.
And hell yeah we got Pen Stroke. I'm really proud of the team I put together on this, they're all really talented and amazing, but Pen was really quite the catch.
Production is coming along nicely, so hopefully you'll get to hear more about it soon!
Fuck yes! A high class writer writing the storyline!
And that goal you have for the music to be memorable...that attitude is going to end up being your moneymaker.
Also, if you judge by my song selections and the type of fics I write, its quite obvious that I kind of have a thing for anything militaristic.
So, if you're ever bored, give these songs a good listen. I adore all of them.
Silver out!
Hey... are you still working on this? Just wondering

OHOHO....Hell yes we are!
It's moving kind of slow because the lot of us have school or work to deal with, but this game isn't going anywhere! (In fact, we may be showing up at one of the upcoming cons
