The Dream of Making a Video Game

Wouldn't it be great to design a videogame? Well Jordan and I always are tossing around the idea. It more involves finding time, and getting a good programmer- and keeping at it. We have been playing video-games forever, and board-games as well. Obviously 3d games, with rediculous graphics is completely unfeasible- but that doesn't mean the game is not fun. X-COM is still one of the best games ever, as is Tie Fighter or Super Mario World. Games age well indeed, and the reasoning behind most of the graphics on systems of old-wasn't that the technology didn't exist-so much as large development teams didn't exist yet. During those years a group of four or five guys could make a smash hit )look at Myst, or X-Com or Civilization or any number of titles.

here is a little concept design for a game we are thinking about. it was a fun way to spend a Saturday. Now, sadly, I have to go wash dishes for 4 hours. UGH. the life of broke artist.
