Grumpy Gamer

JULY 14, 2014

I coded the original Grumpy Gamer from scratch and it was old and fragile and I dreaded every time I had to make a small change or wanted to add a feature. I could have used some off-the-shelf blogging tool or code base, but where's the fun in that. The most interesting prototype is about being lost in a cavern/cave/dungeon.

There is a bi-weekly game prototype group I would meet up with and I do miss that. There is a lot of good code in the TWP engine and the goal was to sort that out and only take the good. It can't run TWP dues to a complete removal of the UI code from the engine. I have a few very close friends and we continue to talk.

Since I was a child, I always found myself surrounded by art, because most of my family were artists (ballet dancers, painters, musicians). One day I discovered video games could be much more than just ‘entertainment products’, and fell in love with the idea of mixing all the things I loved about art in a new medium.

Game design involves thinking about what kind of game you want, while programming involves creating the code that makes it happen. Prototyping. Game prototyping is an important aspect of game development because it saves time and money. One suggestion is to ask someone else to test your prototype, as you may miss some mistakes.
