Hello!
Its been a while, but i’ve been hard at work doing so many things. However I’ve found myself with some freetime again, and with that I’ve been thinking about projects for Ventus Games again. I’ve been working on a project called Celestial Tower for a while, however due to circumstances with my job I had to put it on hold. I’m excited to announce that I’m returning to it in some capacity, it will be a very different game than what I originally planned, but it will still be fun to play and released later this year.
The plan is to finish it and then move onto the next project for Ventus Games, but that is likely many years off.
I spent a lot of my time at work learning about everything related to game dev, from production, to audio design, to programming, and even creative direction. The project that I learned all that from was a game made by Everbloom Studios called Nullpoint Protocol. It is a roguelike boss rush game based heavily in MMO raiding. As I am a huge fan of FFXIV and wanted to bring that experience of raiding to people who don’t have the time to dedicate hours upon hours to just get to the “fun” of the game.
It was an adventure to say the least, and in the coming months I will be discussing more about how development went, what I learned, and lessons I will carry forward.
Thanks for coming to check out my blog and please stay tuned!! – Ryan
