Music

The main inspiration for music is Shoji Meguro. No big surprise here. I love the music of the Trauma Center games, Persona 3 and Maken Shao. His music was also inspired by the score of House. So I would like to have similar music. My idea is something that is somewhat jazzy, with a lot of mild piano, sometimes hard beats. I might be over ambitious, or simply crazy but christmas came early this year (it's a KORG nanoKEY Studio and I'm testing it with the demo version of Reason):

Planning Phase

I'm knee deep in planning. I have many ideas, snippets, morsels that can make the game great. But I have to form it into a working game loop. I have gameplay ideas and little details that can enhance the mood, deepen the characters but these little ideas don't add up to a complete game yet. I have to start prototyping soon so I can see if the ideas gonna work. I know I'll have to sacrifice some of them because I can't cram everything into just one game.

In the mean time, I'm playing Persona 3 to get a good feel of the JRPG side of things, the navigation and the interactions. Also I'm playing Trauma Center 2 on DS because I just remembered I beat both Wii games and the first DS game but I still haven't beaten TC2 on DS, also, I started to watch House from the first season. Damn, this series is phenomenal. I'm collecting experiences, ideas while I'm trying to plan my own game right now. I have to do some Blender learning and start working with Unity soon. Damn, I have a lot to learn, a lot to plan but I really want to make this game.
