Motivation

So at this point I have figured out what I'd like my hook to be - Motivation, and the vices of men. Yeaaah I had to say it in a cool way. But anyway in a lot of those medieval shows or movies people are motivated by greed, fame or honor. So I took that and I decided to make the game revolved around those three things. Each character is driven by either Sanctimony, Avarice, or Vainglory (just cool ways to say Honor, Greed and Glory). Ooooooh that's a really really cool title, Honor, Greed, and Glory. Wow. That might be it.

Honor, Greed, and Glory: the Vices of Men 

Something like that.

Anyway yeah I have just been working to implement those three things and the motivation stat which is based on how well the conditions are met to motivate someone of that particular vice. It's a sweet idea but I'm having to toy around with it a lot because I just can't really forsee that well at this point what will and won't work. So I'm going to need to spend a lot of time dialing this system in and doing / undoing work until it really comes across the way I want.

But it's really coming along, I'm very happy to see this little GIF attached to this post. It looks like a pretty legit game!

Anyway thought I should mention this too: I have been pretty disorganized about game dev in general, and I think it's because I don't have a centralized system where all my planning can go. To fix this, I am doing a trial of Trello Premium. So far, I really like it. It's expensive to do a yearly membership but if I can stick with it and it keeps me on track then I'd say it's worth the money. And, I am trying to make money here. And frankly if you want to make money you have to be willing to invest it. So we'll see if it's worth it at the end of the 2 weeks free period.

Later!
