My aim is to try and make a humorous and simple adventure game, in the vein of something like the classic Tim Schafer games.   Right now I am working on a simple engine interface, this will make the process a lot easier. I just got finished with the sprite part of this and using my sprite class one can easily make a sprite with little to no work. Although I have a lot of work ahead of me, I think that the completetion of this class will greatly motiviate me in the future. I really have two parts to this process. The first part is making a simple engine (simple functions for sprites, sounds, text, etc). After this I plan to start working on things neccessary to the actuall game, such as the scripting langauge (not really true scripting, just for data implementations) and other interfaces to make level, dialogue and UI easier to manipulate.   Did I also mention the project is open source? so you could basically make a mod off of the code base that I make. I look forward to releasing this, sometime....    <h2>                          Other News.</h2>  I'm also currently messing around with the source code for hl2. I've truly only learned one thing by working with it, it's a humongeous pain in the ass. I becomes clearer and clearer to me everyday though, so I guess that's a pluss :).  Also, for any mods that need a voice actor, please contact me! I'll try and put up some sample voice overs in my profile soon.   articles27125
