Developing a videogame (1)

First of all i have to say that this blog in english begins to walk step by step. I would prefer that the few readers i have to made some comments, specially from the people whose mother tongue is not spanish, but i can see there are readers from a lot of parts of the world, something that explain us the marvel of internet and how to swim in this great babel tower that is the world.

After the introduction i will explain my point of view about developing a videogame in comfortable chapters. A lot of readers will have more acknowledge of this than me, but other i suppose not. Appart from this, is my blog and i can ... it as i wish :P.

First step for making a game is thinking about what type of game we want to do. What we are to do is to explain each of the possible several options (yes, it's possible to be more options, like making a game for winning a bet to Jack Thompson, but this is unusual)

A) I want to learn with this game: Let's see, i can do a pacman remake, the only thing i want is to do a game and show the world it runs.

B) I want t0 do an homage. We can take a game and make a homage of him, or doing a very good remake of him. Is similar to previous option.

C) I have an idea, and i want to do this game. Imagine you are walking the streets, you have a marvelous idea and you decide to make this game.

D) You want make money with this game. A lot of people also want, is common. You decide, could be due to your work or by your initiative, that you or your company want to make a lot of money with your game. Is another possibility.

E) Professionally: Could happen that you have to make a game entrusted by another company or association. Is not the most common of the possibilities, but could happen to somebody.

G) Paja mental (i don't know how to translate it to english, could be something like brain fart): You want to be the next Mizuguchi and make something more innovative than nothing. There is always someone for anything.

Ok, this is the first approach. If you think we have to add something please tell me, this is the advantage of the interactive courses :P.

Opa Opa forever!
