Steam Summer Sale

  It's not up yet.

  Where is it?

  ...

  Anyways, whenever the Steam Summer Sale finally occurs, ends, and I get out of my burnout of playing too many games, I should be sick and tired of Diablo 3 (pretty close already, good thing I got it free) by the time Torchlight 2 and Borderlands 2 come out.

  After that, it's back to game development.

  I even have a brand new project.  An RPG this time.  Notable since all my previous games have been arcade style or platformers.  I'm told I might be better at designing an RPG since I need more static art than animations and I'm a mathematical genius (apparently).  Moreover RPG music requires a different flare than music for other genres.

  The idea is I want a game that has the collectible home decorating of Animal Crossing with the life in a dungeon reality of Dwarf Fortress. 

  I think you can home decorate in Elona, but I don't remember.  Plus I wanted to talk about ecosystems and the "life" of a dungeon.  Where do baby slimes come from?  What's the weather like?  How do spiders interact with skeletons?  I think I'll have interaction tables between every object class, so everything will be able to interact with everything.

  Crafting:  I want the player to be able to craft anything out of anything.  No recipe for "Long Bow", just attach anything string-like to anything wood-like (or suitable tags) and tell the game what you want it to be.  An iron chain might be terrible for a bow made of almond flour, but at least you can.

  Well, that's it for this short update...  Lok
