Meetings

On Friday we had a small meeting about what's happening and stuff. Wasn't much stuff to talk about but near the end, Jesse, Joseph, Jarred and I had a conversation about the story. Yeah Cody was suppose to be there, but he had to go somewhere first. He came back near the end for a couple of minutes but left again. He told his reason to Jesse so it's all good.

Anyways... the story... we had a good debate about issues regarding how realistic the game should be. I suggested that it shouldn't reach the point where parts on machines actually make sense. Like we don't want people to go "how is that thing able to fly!? It's massive with a small ballon!" or something like that, you know...

I mean there's nothing wrong with that, but I feel that since that is a game, it should be 100% realistic.

Anywhos... this is where the 4 writers (including me of course) met up on Sunday at Joseph's spot. At first, the discussion was going great. But as time passes, I began to dislike how we kept sidetracking too far and how it took AGES to finish some of the quests. I'm not saying that sidetracking is a bad thing or that it takes AGES to do quests. Because a lot of thinking goes into this. But I, as a writer, take my passion seriously. Which is why you will almost NEVER hear any humour in my writings unless I actually wanted a character to be the "funny" one. But so far, that hasn't happen. (Yeah call me lame but that's just how I am)

At the end, with the ideas/story we got so far, there was some that I didn't like to be honest. I'm not gonna say which parts though. But this isn't going to stop me from helping the group finish the game, because I love games and will put all my effort (or most XD) into creating the game.

Once Jarred has finalised the story, Joseph and I will start working on the puzzles. Hopefully that will go smooth and I do hope that the puzzles will be challenging ^^.

Well, now all I have to do is the puzzles and the drawing thing so the Art team can see who's style is the best.

Today, around 15 minutes past 10, we watched the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Not sure if everyone was there, let alont arrive on time, but no one is perfect I guess.

I got some drawing in today but dammit... the ideas in my head never come out right on paper!

Must... practise... drawing!!!

Ah well, until next time!
