Right let’s make a checklist for becoming a Game Designer: Well alright then here I go I’m ready to start my journey into becoming a Game Designer, something I have dreamed of all my life.
 * A Brain        (Ummmm.... Check)
 * Ideas           (Check)
 * Motivation    (Check)
 * Creatively     (Check)
 * Coffee          (Check)

This current Wiki page which you may have accidently stubble on is for my final year work at university. I’m designing a game called “Super Slug”. Super Slug is an action platformer game, with a twist.... THE PLAYABLE CHARACTER CAN’T JUMP!!!! This is unheard off for a Platformer, as it is a requirement for the player to jump from one platform to the other but I’m designing a game around this restriction.

If this isn’t challenging enough, I have decide to create my GDD (Game Design Documents) for Super Slug using Wiki, which is something completely new to me but I have heard that in the industry this is a common practices, that why I have decide to create my GDD using a Wiki, lucky I have created many GDD’s over the past two years, which taught me methods for designing interesting GDD.

I will keep you updated on my progress, Wish me luck.
