Yes, I finally found the motivation to start work on my own full-featured PC game. I have a basic story idea (which I’m not going to disclose here yet), some ideas on how to realize that and a lot of interest in this subject. Whether or not I actually finish what I started will remain to be seen, but I hope this blog will help me keep my usually quick-fading focus on this project. I will be learning many new techniques as I go along, so please bare with me (that is, if anyone actually reads this) and let me know, if you have any suggestions or comments.

Here’s a nice little screenshot of my first window:
