Brainstorming for Cow Girl Flash Game

Coo', I feel ya man.

Performance issues may also crop up since this is sort of uncharted territory for me, but it shouldn't be too bad.

I'm still REALLY new to actionScript/flash and hearing that there's a way to do some sort of saving is very cool. I'm pretty sure you'll find a way to tune up the arrays. I think I'll ask a friend of mine who's familiar with many programming languages about this; maybe I can get some hints.

I never figured you for a cowgirl kindda guy, Memo. Or is it just the "game" aspect you're liking?

[Enji]

If I remember right, for local file databasing only, lots of apps use SQLite.

The OP seems to be doing some updates on his blog, which you can find a link to in his sig. Though the last update is from Sept. 7th.

[Gagecoalbrace]

the blog is the only way to keep track unless they post here so yeah keep checking last one says he is working on it just at a slow pace because of school. and has promised to finish the production of this game.

Sorry Guys, just been a bit busy. But now that I'm unemployed again I may have some spare time again on the weekends. XD
Last bit of change I've made over that past few weeks have been too minor to really mention, but I'm in need of building some sort of design doc so that I get my next few goals in order. I've always predicted that this would be more of a slog than some of the works other H-game developers. Some of those guys work like machines or at least have something called dedication. But know that I'll update my blog when some sort of significant addition has been made.

[SoylentOrange]

I can help you with the doc, if you want. I've done GDDs before.

I'd very much appreciate the help Soylent, as I find that at least talking to someone to bounce off the ideas works better than working in solitude. I mainly want to solidify much of what was planned throughout this thread and put them into concrete terms so I can aim the rest of the development.

Alas, I have one last assignment to work on so that will have to hold off for at least an hour or so depending if you are still available and if I can finish quickly.

PM me your availability and we can figure things from there.

I got some of my motivation back and I'm trying to get the project moving forward again. I'm testing doing live streaming which might go on for another hour or two right now. If you'd like to see you can check my blog. I'll see about doing it again tomorrow, and eventually on a regular schedule, so check the blog for details on that. See you guys around.

[SoylentOrange]

Thanks for the livestream! Sorry I got pulled away at the end there, but it was really neat all the same! Game's looking great so far, keep it up! ^_^

just wondering if this game is still in making?
