Web prototyping

Besides the core game, we will have a website that enables players to browse games, join games, launch games, invite friends, etc.

I started useing ASP.NET classic .aspx pages with .ascx controls. These are good enough for quick prototyping. The main goal is to capture user stories in either controls and pages with notes about its responsibility, the data to be shown, types of actions user can perform, etc.

This process is going to take about a week or two (or even more). However, this is worthwhile: I can show this prototype to my partner for input, test user interaction flows, identify data requirements, etc.

Trying to release the game

I have been working on a game project with my friend for about 8 years, yes I think that's about right, 8 freaking years!

We think the game is 90% complete, and we are at the "final push" to get it out of the door. Hopefully, we release it sometime this year for general public.
