Since I’ve now started this little blog I better start by explaining what will be posted here.
Recently I released the first chapter of the game series „The Far Corners of the World“ – hereafter abbreviated FCotW1. The game was first announced in December 2009 in the AGS forums and I’ve also talked a bit about its development on Twitter: wbentoch.
As part of the game development I always planned to have a small web site where not only the games themselves can be downloaded but where you will also find ongoing updates about the development process. The latter is what this blog is mainly about. I don’t expect many people to have an interest in my joys and woes as a hobby adventure game developer, but a) I really enjoy reading developer diaries myself, so it’s only fair to offer one for people who think likewise and/or enjoy the FCotW series, b) it might prove interesting for people who want to hop into indie game development themselves and c) it’s a good way to collect my thoughts and record my own progress.
As for the frequency of updates, I have a full time job and my share of other real life duties, so game development and updates on the blog are confined to a few hours per week. Still, for now I plan to have at least one short update every week. Currently I'm working on an extensive walkthrough for FCotW1 which will be published here in a few days. I also have some first in-game screenshots for FCotW2 ready, which I plan to share with you soon. But all in due time!
