Dev update #7- Game Jam Version Finished!


Game jam version done!

Phew. So. I learned a lot from my first Twine-based game jam.

The good stuff-
I had so much fun writing! It was very satisfying enacting on all my draft twine passages and fleshing them out. Seeing my moderate CSS/HTML knowledge and twine macros come together properly since I last used them a year ago was also very rewarding.

The bad stuff-
SCOPE.
A terrible thing for writers, let alone designers of any kind. This project suffered scope problems even from it’s plotting. Technically, the game jam version is only a third of the planned writing of the game, let alone its absence of the digital drawings and gifs I wanted to implement. It’s definitely been a good reminder to take my plots, hack them until they’re barely substantial, and start from there, instead of beginning with a fully fledged tree of a narrative.

If you enjoyed this game, please feel free to follow! I will be continuing its development. I really liked creating this concept, and I can’t wait to produce more content for it.

Thanks for reading! <3

Dev update #3- Plan done! I may have gone slightly out of scope. But that’s part of the fun, right? Bonus: very spooky gif. Don’t click if you want to avoid spoilers! (http://i.imgur.com/1dT1gNt.gif)

Dev update #5- Not a twine image! A work in progress preview of the layout I’ll be using for the game (right image blurred to avoid spoilers).

Dev update #2- It's getting late. When you’re so close to finishing the plot outline and your summarising begins to break down.

This Satuday we invite to watch another #speedpainting of our artist Daniel Faiad.

How great is this scene of #Pecaminosa?

Back in my art school days I used to ride the 710 COPSA line from Parque Del Plata to Montevideo almost everyday. This is the Marcopolo Viaggio G4 Mercedes Benz model from the late 80s, one of the older bus models that was running on the line.

One of the most critical update for Sunblaze demo. Now you are able to pet a cat! Finally!

Demonstration of the spells and their effects :)!
