I've played alot ... got me some mounts, some levels, some items. I'm not 80 yet, nor even close to what I want my character to be, so I'll continue to play.
In this time I wrote no line, ... not code line at least.
I'm a creative person, yes. You see a tree, I see a feature, a story, a experience, whatever. I'm that kind of guy who lies wake at night thinking about a story. What pushes a character to go on? Why not just stop and enjoy the moment? IS it the hope for a better life than this? Is it the love for a other character? Or is he just not the person who stops?
So I just started a book. Its 10 pages by now, not even close to the main happening what sets the story. Its about the game I wanted to make before my WOW low. A guy who ... no, I will not spoiler anything. From my point of view its quite a interesting story, with interesting characters, etc. So it would be a good book. No best-seller, but good.
Would? Why it would be a good book? Simple because my plans have shifted. I want to write that game. Not because of the experience I would gain, not because its for my Port Folio, but because of the story.
Monday I'll get my new PC, I'll set up WoW, play some minutes on the highest graphics setting possible, and then I'll get C# and XNA on it. Try some solutions for my problems, and even if they don't work out, I'll write a prototype. Try some easy settings, the controls, camera, etc.
Not to make a game. To tell a story. :)
