Xii Games – Developer Diary Part V

If you, like me, like when developers talk about the development in their games in detail, I have some good news for you. Vince Twelve over at xii games has once again put together another developer diary. And this one is part V (or 5 to you non-Romans) in his series of developers diaries. If you’re interested, you may read more about it if you click here. Come on. Just do it.

In this particular entry, Vince goes on to talk about how difficult it is to do tons of hard work that seems to take you no where. What do I mean? Well, there’s lots of programming and putting of things together, but after all that work, there are barely any new playable parts. I guess that’s what the life of a developer is all about. Lots of minute details that are boring as hell, but that must be done all the same. It could drive a guy (or gal) crazy!

Vince also goes on to discuss the interface design for the game, which he thought was cool at first (because he’s the one who put it together) and then was told it was all wrong for the style of the game. At least he can take criticism well!

Vince also talks about strung out anorexic actresses with coke habits! I bet you never saw that one coming, did you?! I didn’t myself, but that’s why I read through these diaries, because they are amusing.

Hey xii games… you’re doing an awesome job! Keep it up!
