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

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)

Here's a peaceful little forest scene for this #screenshotsaturday, from the beginning of the game.

Enemies can also suddenly spawn through Realm Rifts. These Rift Spawns are going to be stronger than the ones wandering around. TBD on the enemies... #screenshotsaturday #godstear #madewithunity

Finished a project I've been working on over the last few days!

Hi everyone! I started to create some environment props for my new video game, here is a cozy house in the forest. I'm planning to switch from Unity to Unreal... Let's see what new challenges I have to face. Made in Blender and Substance Painter.
