Every developer goes through a never-ending learning phase. With every project they start, they learn something new, something they haven't thought of before. Unless it's a guess the number game. But still.
I'm pretty sure that every developer out there knows what I'm talking about. And for those who would like to join me on a journey writing a SoundMUD ish game, can read and talk to me through a development diary I'm starting. I wanted to log my thoughts from the very beginning to the final product.
It's a very easy game. If you are intrigued and wish to read and possibly help me in this process, simply head over to devdiary.dragonapps.org and participate! Everyone is free to register and comment underneath each and every one of my posts with their own thoughts. I haven't seen this in the audiogames community yet, so I thought I might as well give it a try. Writing out your thoughts definitely helps get them steady and solid, which makes it easier to implement and realise them. And hey, other developers who are into this sort of thing might even be able to help me. This is game development out in the open.
There is not much to it yet, however I do plan to change this as I go on. And hey, maybe someone will find those posts useful. Who knows. And learn from the mistakes I'll be making along the way. LOL
And I do respect and, to some degree understand coders, scripters, command line junkies and the like, and their ideals and reasons for doing what they do, it's just I can't stand the idea my self.
