Today I had an idea for a game where you play as an animal rescuer. It's been a few years since I last did any game development, for a lot of reasons. I've been laid off from DreamWorks Animation for the first time in my career, and I thought, if there's ever been a better time to get back into indie game dev, it's NOW!
Later shelter façade concept from the production library. The July sketch has not been recovered.
I keep thinking about the shelter. You go out to find animals that need help, and there is somewhere to bring them back to. I want to see how that feels when it is my character doing the work.
I am curious what it will be like to make a game with ChatGPT around. I can ask it a programming question and find out whether the answer gets me anywhere in the editor.
There is plenty I have not worked out. I do not know how much of the town I need before I can try the first little piece of the game.
I think I will start by getting a character moving. I want something I can sit down and play with.
