Two Important Announcements (Free) (Patreon)
Content
① A New Membership Tier Will Be Added
In addition to the current 「メンバー購読 / monthly membership subscription」,we are introducing a new membership tier:
→ 「ロックマンのつくりかた / Creating Megaman」
「ロックマンのつくりかた / Creating Megaman」= $1.20 per month
This tier allows access only to posts within the「ロックマンのつくりかた / Creating Megaman」 category (collection).
It is a tier dedicated to behind-the-scenes content about the creation of Rockman.Recommended for those who are more interested in the story than in the production process.
The existing 「メンバー購読 / monthly membership subscription」 will continue to allow access to all posts as before.
② A New Category (Collection) Will Be Added
Initially, I had planned to publish paid blog articles elsewhere,but due to the need for translation and other reasons,I decided to use Patreon as the platform.As a result, the overall purpose of the content has been slightly adjusted.
I believe platforms like this are originally intended for active creators to showcase their work.However, I am not currently engaged in any major creative activities,so I do not have any completed works to offer at this time.
That led me to reflect on what I can do now—and I came to feel that what is most expected of me is to create games.So I’ve decided to focus my efforts in that direction.
However, I’ve been away from the game industry for many years,so I no longer have connections.I cannot suddenly form a team or invest in full-scale game production.(Though I do have more ideas than I could ever use—enough to hold a bargain sale!)
Current Game Plan
There are no programmers or character designers working with me,so I will proceed with what I can do on my own.
When considering what kind of game I can realistically create right now,a playing card game seems like a good place to start.I’ve used Unity before and studied a bit of C# back then.I think I can handle card movement and basic animation. 💦
To start with, I plan to disable networking featuresand create a simple, single-player solitaire-style game.As someone who used to be a game planner (even if only a little),I will design the gameplay and rules as an original concept.
That said, just posting card images each time would be boring.
So I’m thinking of a structure where players earn pointsfor clearing each playthrough, which can then be usedto unlock rewards or bonus items.
One example is character images.I will prepare several characters that appear in the game’s world,and players will be able to receive them randomly based on the number of points they’ve earned.
While it’s possible to expand the game’s setting endlessly,I’ll avoid unrealistic goals—since I’m working alone. 😅There will be no additional paid options to purchase points or add more cards.
When considering what would be enjoyable for people viewing this site,I believe that while the card rules are important,the worldbuilding of the game should be the main focus.
What kind of world is it?What kinds of creatures live there?What kind of stories exist in that world?
I think it would be fun to expand on these elements and explore them together—what do you think?
Right now, the project is still in a completely blank state.To be honest, I’m not even sure if I’ll be able to complete it.I’m filled with uncertainty.
That’s why I hope to treat this as a content serieswhere we slowly enjoy the process while aiming for completion.
If you are willing to support this project with that understanding,I would be truly grateful.
