Right now I'm working from home. It's nice to be in the IT industry where you can work remotely and don't have to worry as much about the job, you have VPN, Hangouts, Teamviewer, etc... So it's quarantine season because of the COVID-19 pandemic and it had me thinking.
Is it the right time to release a hospital themed video game? I mean release is far away, but if I manage to release it in 2 years people will think it was inspired by current events. And people will be more sensitive about subjects of healthcare... But that's not the point. I was more worried about finishing anything at all in the first place. You see, I have some experience in game desing, I'm a programmer for over 10 years now. But I have a lot to learn still to deliver a game. And I was thinking about scaling back to the original idea first. It lets me practice 3D modelling and Unity, meanwhile I set a smaller, more achievable scope for the game. If it turns out well enough I can go further with the expanded idea where you can walk around the hospital and solve the mysteries of the cases. For now I just want the medical-drama and digital novel feel of the Trauma Center games and we'll see where it goes.
