Well I mine as well introduce me and my friend here, we have been working on the design for a game for a while now and it is going to be coming to fruition soon we hope. I will be handling the coding aspects of the game, while my friend BeRanDone will be working on the graphics. Not much else to say right now, as we get more done I will post more related to the game over time.

The only thing I will comment on is the genre, and it will be a single-player RPG based game. However eventually, depending on the popularity of it I may include co-op play. It will be a unique RPG in that it will be more comic than serious, and thus the art-style will complement it that way. I have never tried such a thing as this, so not sure how popular it will be(probably not at all, but I will be optimistic here *snicker*).

Masterdarwin88	You should've waited a week or two and gotten a hub and nice fancy banners and a good foundation before the game before announcing this. You might lose motivation and then dissapoint us by quitting. Good Luck, anyway~

Eh, who needs fancy stuff. I will get those things as time goes on, namely was just bored and figured I mine as well announce it. I just paid for a membership so don't plan on quitting :D. I also have been making games/programs for a few years(10 or so now), though they got lost at some point during the BYOND site change.. then left BYOND to learn java and have now come back. Thanks for the comment though!

Dpheonix7	I mine as well? Sorry that line really threw me off. I personally think the word might works better then mine. I like the co-op style more then single player. Check out how Dragon Quest 9 handled it. You had a single player game that friends could join with their characters and help you out on your story.

MaGicBush	Hah, I am from good 'ol Misery(Missouri) so sorry for my English :D. I will have to check it out, co-op sounded like a good idea... however balancing it to add co-op would be a small pain, but I look forward to challenges. Thanks for the suggestion! @ Masterdarwin : I didn't take it that way, so no worries.
