This is the first proper entry in the Development Diary for our latest XNA Independent Game entitled Sentinel. Iron Star Media consists of two developers; John Wordsworth (@johnwordsworth) – a programmer and lightweight artist, and Jackson Matthews (@oliacym) – a heavyweight artist and designer. This series of blog posts will show you how we made our second game and will hopefully shed some insight into the overall procedures behind game development as well as giving some tips based on the lessons we learnt.
Today we document the first 5 hours of development with some planning, concepts and basic ground work.
