Introduction

This blog will follow my adventure in making a game using the Hero Engine.

Introduction
"I want to make a game" or should I say "complete a game". I have started many game projects since I programed my first game on an apple 2 using Basic. It was text only and copied word for word from a beginners book on game making that I forget the name of now. The game took weeks to write and had many bugs. Since then I have tried my hand at visual basic, c++ and c#, starting various game projects, never finishing any of them.
Most of my working career was in customer service with a cash register being the closest I came to a computer. Programming and using computers was mainly a hobby, something I did in my own time. It wasn't until 5 years ago that I got a job as a technician for a software company deploying their programs at mine sites. I had a certain knack for it and it wasn't long before I moved up and started leading my own project. This tought me what it takes to deliver a software product. I learnt the basics of software engineering like managing user stories, bug lists and testing as well as communicating with the client.
Now I believe I have what it takes to make and finish a game.
