Austech's Winter RPG Game Development Day 2 (Christmas Coding / ~6 Hours)

Austech's Winter Game Development is a fancy name for a goal, in which I try to complete a game by time my Winter Break ends.

The game that I'm trying to create is a simple Top Down version of Animal Crossing, a fairly popular RPG game.

Obviously this is a pretty big task, but my goal is to at least get the main functionality of the game, such as housing, NPC's, furniture, items, clothing using skeleton animation, game time events, fishing, planting, and bug catching.

This game is being coded in C# (C Sharp), using the XNA Framework.

you wouldnt happen to be in need of an artist for some unnamed project?

[TheAustech]

@RockerDuk I am in a need for an artist actually, but I'm going to wait until more of the functionality is done before I get into that. But I'll keep in touch if you're wanting to help out. :)

PAINT.NET FTW!!

[TheAustech]

@blacksilentA99 A lot more functional than MS Paint. :P

[hebronsawyers]

The skeletal animations are cool :D

[TheAustech]

@hebronsawyers Indeed, and with it working it makes it a lot easier to make new clothes. Also allowing tons of clothe styles! :D

[blacksilentA99]

@TheAustech

Hell yeah!

It still manages to keep the interface simple enough for us programmers to use.

Great art BTW.

@CoderRach Thanks! :D

Oh, and I have no idea why Pony RPG is related, brb gonna watch some episodes of My Little Pony real quick.

@MrG4M3RT4G Haha, awesome. Peace

[CoderRach]

Haha, the YouTube video place marker is a snowflake. How come "Pony RPG Trailer" is related? :)

Cool timelapse of development!
