Meh, Theme Wins

I give up theme, you win. I just couldn’t keep up my motivation. The theme made it impossible for me to come up with something fun to play. I also think the RPG ideas was flawed because I couldn’t figure out how to earn xp without it becoming too gruesome.

Lesson learned: some themes just aren’t meant to be fun.

Yet to be Named RPG

MrPhil\'s MLD10 1st Screen ShotThis was a though theme for me. I had lots of ideas, but I keep worrying that it would be too emotional or gruesome to be fun. My worst fear was belittling of those who are victims of domestic abuse. But, I’m moving forward with the idea that play is sometimes about experimenting with real world problems. So, I’ve decided to make an RPG. You must steer the battered woman to a successful resolution of her situation.

I’m using SilverLight, Visual Studio 2008 and Expression Blend 2.
