today had some great progress made! i have my basic plot, concepts and location. its going to be a paranormal jump scare puzzle sort of game (think amnesia) but also detective mystery solving. its also going to take place in my school! i already have the first five or so minutes of game play planned. the character is coming a bit more tricky though. he needs technical capabilities involving being able to hack into computer systems using a rooted android device running some sort of linux based hacking distro.... the nerd is bleeding into the game and i cant stop it! haha! for the sake of easily obtainable images, i'm going to model the character off myself. which brings us to our next issue: software! i want to go as open source as possible, that means gimp and blender, um not great in blender yet though, so i need to work on that a bit. as for engine, i installed UDK for the time being, i was originaly going to use HPL (amnesia engine) but UDK looks nicer, open to other options though, CRYengine looks nice and so does Source. they all have quite the learning curve though, so this may be a while... anyway, that's it for todays update, comment (if anyone actually reads these) with advice or suggestions, i'd appreciate all the help i can get
