I have decided lately that I am going to co-create a new gaming website with my friend (known on this site as Valyndir) and that I am myself going to create my own small video game.
The video game will be a very long work in progress and will be nothing fancy. It will be basically me proving to myself that when I apply my minuscule knowledge of C++ that I can actually make a game. I am going to buy a C++ Primer book to brush up on my skills and hopefully learn even more. I will be using the ID Tech 3 engine because it comes at a low price of free as long as I abide by the GPL license. My plot and title for the game are being developed by myself on my spare time and what I can tell you is that it will be a comical FPS centered around the mispronunciation of words. I got the idea when my friends kept on mocking me over the way I said certain words and I wanted to make a video game so I blended the two things together.
The gaming website will be a site where my friends and I can distribute custom maps for games, mods, and make articles and reviews about games if we have time. It will also serve as a site for my friends Warhammer Online guild but don't worry for those who are not fans of MMO, it will not be pushed on you.
More info on both of these projects as it develops.
