So this game is shaping up not in the way I intended (neptune’s pride + nethack + wordfeud) but I am really enjoying the new concept. More on that later.
For now, here is google app engine in action:
 |
| ‘carlosthedwarf’ has created a new game (playing as the evil horde*) |
 |
| Other players can see available games and join them |
 |
| ‘joeyblogs’ is going up against our friend carlos. Don’t ask me what a Mangler is. |
So… there you go. Progress! Just in case someone has this blog set up in a dusty corner of their RSS reader. If I had a nickle for every game development blog that stops updating less than half-way through the project I would be a THOUSANDAIRE!
Moral of the story: if you are lurking, say hi!
* I’m thinking more these guys than these guys.
