Building my game

As I have stated in my first post, I am a software specialist, a former game software developer and a gamer. I still think myself as a game software developer by the way, self-employed maybe. A few weeks ago, I decided that I am done with the holidays and lying my ass down so I started designing my first game. I really think this one is an original concept. After all, I haven't stole the idea from another game.

I cannot give away all the details but the gameplay idea hit me when I was thinking about Snow Bros. which led to Tumblepop. So the level design will look something like this and this. I'm thinking more similar to the Snow Bros. levels.

Well, I just started programming for a prototype with the new IDE that I bought because I though Corona Project Manager was insufficient compared to this one. It is called Lua Glider(ex-CIDER) and it is a NetBeans platform product so it is similar to NetBeans in various ways which makes me very comfortable because of my acquaintance to NetBeans. It is really great to use such a similar IDE because I'm learning and coping with various other things in Corona SDK or Lua.

I can vividly see what the game will look like at the end but I don't know if I would be able to finish it or like find someone to create the animations and sounds for the game. Now, all I have is a character that walks on some tiles created by me. The game requires a lot of changes, additions and they will be done by me code-wise. Other than that, it is not very clear what I will do but I will think of something. Maybe I'll place an ad here for people to apply, I don't know.

I will be able to provide screenshot(s) from the game when I finish the prototype. So, it's all for now.
