Let's get this party Started

Welcome. This is a journal recording my progress towards making my first significant game. I've wanted to work in the games industry for years now, and in lieu of finding a position in games it's time that I started making my own - to create experiences, and to broaden my skills and refine my portfolio.

As I develop the game, I'm going to record the process here so that others can learn from what I find. I've been helped by a huge number of people that lit my path, so I want to do my part to help those who come after me.

The basics:
I'm a 2D artist, with minimal experience in programming and audio.
The project is a 2D turn based RPG.
I'm taking a UDEMY course in UNITY 5 to give me the foundation I need to actually create the mechanical portion of the game. I will create the art myself, and I will attempt the audio.

The hook of the game is that the main character finds out she is immortal. With that knowledge, the player can explore her world and see how it changes as time passes.

There will be both social and violent conflict which rely on the player's choices and statistics to determine the outcome, and player 'death' is a main mechanic in that fatal blows will render the character inert for a long period of time before she revives.

I'm glad you're here to hear, and I'm excited to get this developed!
