The Secret of Sandokan Island

Software/Engine: Visual Studio 2010 Professional

Year Completed: 2010
Sandokan's main menu

Sandokan was my first ever attempt at programming a game, and in true inexperienced fashion, when asked by my tutor "what kind of game would you like to create" I became starry eyed with excitement and freedom, then blurted the words "an Adventure/RPG game!", as you can imagine his response was an unenthusiastic "well, good look with that..."


Sandokan's World Map and Key

Knowing that I only had the space of around 6 weeks to build this game and knowing next to nothing about programming I can't say I blame him for his scepticism, but I put my head down and got straight on with it.

What resulted was a text based game that, while far from perfect and far from finished, was quite entertaining, a lot of fun to build and provided a challenging learning curve that, just like a ridiculously difficult video game, only made my resolve stronger.
