#projectwasp — Public Fediverse posts

My game concept is a fantasy stealth game (like Thief) with an open world and access to special powers (like Prey). With its One Big Ideas being that the more you increase your magic ability, the more vulnerable you are to magic and more easier detected by supernatural creatures.

This is a conflict of game mechanics. Being better at magic makes you worse at stealth.

But I actually like that conflict. I think this can be a source of a great play experience.

Having now spend half a day with #godot and getting a basic grasp on how it works, I think with using the #COGITO template for basic #ImSim mechanics and controls, I can have a first prototype of #ProjectWasp running by the end of next week.

I had expected that this would take at least a year going into this. But this feels much more like modding a game than building a new one from scratch.

I just learned about Dread Delusion and Lunacid.

Alongside Northern Journey and Fortune's Run (and also Kenshi and Fear and Hunger), this keeps convincing me that #ProjectWasp is not just my own delusional insanity, but something that people now do.

Finally getting that actual announcement and pitch for #ProjectWasp out there.

My early and still somewhat vague plans for making a first-person RPG/ImSim game with 90s graphics in Godot, heavily inspired by Morrowind, Thief, and Fallout.
