Time plan for my game



Hello kids,
in my last post I mentioned that I joined Twitter (yes, you are welcome to follow me!). It is really inspiring place for me. Now I follow about 200 great people who are some connected to iphone games or iphone development. Following them for a few days gave me a lot. But it would be nice to get some feedback on my game development journey, so feel free to comment my articles. I want to know that you are there, folks!

People I am following made me think about my blog and posts I write here. I decided to be more concrete on my game and show you how can one old granny like me do her first iphone game. So I committed myself to write more posts about development of my game and here is the first of them - the time plan!

In one earlier post I mentioned the importance of the planning. It is essential for me and it was the first step that I undertook when I was thinking about developing own iphone game.

My time plan is set for 3 months from start to finish. From start where there's nothing to finish where there will be the iphone game. Look at my plan and inspire yourself. Now I am in the middle of week 6 and although I am little bit behind with actual work, a lot of things are done. I am pretty satisfied with my present progress! I did expect more development problems.

Enough for now! I have to go to feed my animals.

Bye kids,

Marie

Game concept for my iPhone game

Hello kids,

I was little sick last month and I was forced to go to the hospital. But it is alright now (Thanks for asking!). Anyway, during my stay in the hospital I had had a lot of free time. I had spent it by thinking and making some sketches and concepts. It was really useful because I thought out my first iPhone game. It will be game similar to the Tetris (the classic I love) but there will be a few twists:

- you can move and rotate falling bricks
- there will be applied gravity on the bricks
- bricks will have different color and your goal will be to put together 3 bricks of the same color.

Seems easy, doesn't it? I hope so. I want to play this game with my grandsons so I decided to make it as easy as possible. And because it is my first iphone game and everything will be new for me while creating, I don't want to make some big game.

I have a plan to finish this game in 2 months. I hope I can stick to it and make it. I will post here on my blog updates on the game development.

Bye,

Your Granny
