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

I have added rewards for quests so that villagers can give you something in return for your hard work helping them. 🥳

I want to know - what's your favourite quest reward?

Quantum precognition is one of the most powerful cards. End game cards & equipment. Demo/alpha build boss is no match for this deck.
