Game design / Re: How many rooms?
« on: May 12, 2009, 02:02:23 AM »
Thanks for the advices.
Yes I do plan to have multiple states of each room (destructible I might add). For something completely handdrawn it takes me about 8-12 hours to make a background. If I push it I can make 2 per weekend. 6 months is 26 weeks so that should be plenty time left for actual programming and other graphics (let's not forget the sprites!)
I would love to do placeholders but I plan to build the entire playset in one big model then go around with a camera taking angled shots... technically I can add more rooms if necessary if they lead to better transitions between scenes. And should I tweak the model extensively I'll need to retake the camera shots and redefine the paths again.
