Introduction

Hello all. This blog is for the game I'm going to make for an entry in the 1 Year Dream Game contest, tentatively titled Last Ancient. This is where I'll post my regular development reports.

The game will be an action RPG along the lines of the Seiken Densetsu series (a.k.a. Secret of Mana, etc.). The plot will ultimately involve the Last Ancient of the title and his catastrophic attempt to revive his long-perished race -- at the expense of humanity. I'm thinking the gameplay will be heavy on combat, although hopefully with some interesting puzzles for variety. You will be able to choose which abilities your character should develop, weapon, magical, support, etc.

This is a solo effort, and my most ambitious game project in years, so I'll have to keep it fairly small and simple. I'm mainly doing this to motivate myself to get started making games instead of just thinking about it -- "throwing my hat over the fence," as Jay Barnson put it. The hardest part for me will be keeping my plans simple enough to actually get it done.
