1-19-11 Update: The game has been put on hold, new projects have presented themselves and require my attention.

So first things first, no, I have never designed a game before. I have had this idea for some time now and I think I finally have the gameplan and tools to make it a reality. The game will be based on the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, which for those of you who don’t remember your history class, pretty much started World War 1. The game will play as a top down RPG and put you in the role of key figures in a group known as the Black Hand. With the story based on actual events, it should be a fun and interactive way for people to learn about a historical event that had dramatic and long lasting effects. I’m hoping to start programming over Thanksgiving break and have a working game by the end of Christmas vacation. If your interested in learning more about the assassination right now, check out the video at this site http://www.awesomestories.com/assets/assassination-of-archduke-franz-ferdinand-2
