WHAT IS DUCT-TAPE WARRIOR?
That's easy. It's a game that I'm making for Xbox 360 and Windows using Microsoft's XNA Game Studio (3.0 to be precise). The game concept is that it is a 2d RPG/Adventure game that is set in the kingdom of Padia. All the characters will be made out of different kinds of tape, with the main character obviously being made of duct-tape.
WHY TAPE?
That's easy too. I'm not an artist in the graphical sense. I am handy with Photoshop but I can by no means draw original graphics that look good. See for yourself! I'll definitely need some more artistic friends to help me with some of the difficult graphical parts.
Also, another reason is so that I can use tape-based instances of humor! A homeless piece of tape named "Shoe Hole" for example.
There is a story behind why I actually chose tape but it's kind of weird (it involves a port-o-john) so I wont tell it here. Well, maybe I will someday.
RPG/ADVENTURE GAME? WHUT?
Yes. A cross between two disparate styles. Diablo/Grim Fandango, Baldur's Gate/Monkey Island, D&D/Space Quest! If you're like me, that sounds totally cool doesn't it! Well, making a game like that is my goal. I would love to be as funny as those old Lucas Arts games and as fun as the the classic Blizzard RPG. But, I'm no professional. The less I expect from my game the better it will seem!
AND WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Here's a description from the game design doc:
The kingdom of Padia was at the height of it's power. Never in history was a land so well governed, it's good people so well fed and so very pleased. It seemed that there were none in the land who wanted to cause any mischief whatsoever... until one night when the duct-tape king was king-napped by sneaky silhouetted assailants.
...that was about 8 hours ago...
Now, the greatest warriors and detectives in all the land are being called upon to find the king and get him back! You, as either a warrior or detective, are assigned to that task.
Whew it was nice to finally get that out. I guess by "soon" what I meant was "in about a month". Well, rest assured (if anyone has actually been waiting for this) I have been working on the game design. What a concept eh? It's coming along very nicely and I'm having fun doing it.
