Aspiring Storyteller If

Little master list of my wips as an easier way to keep record in case i come up with more. The links will be updated as the wips get uploaded and when they become full fledged games.

The Last Laugh:

In a world filled to the brim with superheroes and villains, one hero stands above all as the pinacle of what a hero should be. And you...

...are not this hero. You are the clone of this hero, created by their greatest enemy for a mysterious purpose. What will you choose? Follow your creator's way and be a villain? Or follow your progenitor into the path of a hero? Or maybe you want something quieter and simpler? That will be your choice in this world.

Demo (to be updated).

The Monster Within:

After a fateful night that changed your life, you and your older sister run away from home and begin living a life outside as a pair of runaway werewolf siblings. You will meet and recruit other werewolves into a pack lead by your sister all the while you struggle with your inner beast and your sister's increasing savageness. What will you do? Will you control it or will you let the monster within run free?

Sounds like a missing quotation. Will check it when I can and fix it. Glad you love it.

Ok, so I'm sure some of you who are still here might have been wondering what happened to me in the years since I disappeared. The long and short of it is I got burned out. I stayed dozens of times wondering how write certain parts and staring to a blank screen that I grew to dislike my time spent working on them. On top of the fact that coding is such a detail oriented work, I kept hitting wall after wall of what to do cause every single new idea and choice I came up with, meant hours of coding and testing. And chapters 2 of each wip asked for a bigger choice pool compared to the first chapter. So I just shut out and life took over. More and more I kept putting it off until today and here we are.

Short explanation because I don't feel like going into too much detail. I feel I owe you all being straight forward with it and not fish for sympathy. The eventual lost of dashingdon was a wake up call and I could not just stay quiet and let my wips be erased without people revisiting it as I know, even unfinished and only one chapter in, people enjoyed them still.

Hello all three of you who are still here. It's been a long time. Almost two years since if my memory is still as good as ever.

I apologize profusely for the disappearance. A lot of things happened one after the other that took my focus away. I wasn't also in the best headspace back then. I've gotten better. Been taking better care of myself now. But back then the insecurity, personal life and the difficulties of writing these wips plus burnout completely destroyed whatever motivation I had to continue and I just wanted a break from feeling guilty and ashamed I had become exactly what I did not wanted to be. So for that, I am sorry to all of you.

Now to the reason as why I popped up out of nowhere; dashingdon is shutting down by the end of the month. A hundred thanks to the creator and owner of the site for hosting so many wonderful demos and doing their best to keep it up. I understand it has reached a point where they can't keep it up anymore. But that put us in a situation where suddenly we have to rush to find alternatives. I feel this knowledge would have been useful on the 1st or 2nd, but I digress. Thankfully I still have the original files of The Monster Within and The Last Laugh in my google drive. And the suggested alternative is a site called cogdemos. But from what I've seen it's not friendly on mobile. Already tried to access a random demo there on my phone only to be met with an error message. I think we can all agree there's a huge section of fans who play their wips on phones so it feels like a big oversight. But that's the cards we have for the moment. I will see if I can learn to use itch.io too as well and host both of my wips on both sites to avoid something like this ever happening again.

I really want to praise you for your feedback. I wish I could pin this without unpinning my wips list post cause I want to read this every time I wanna get ready to work on something. But I settled it by copy pasting it to a document. 😁.

I really want to thank you for this feedback. It's honestly one of the best I've gotten. I like detailed things like this that nail down every single thing in my work. Maybe has to do with me binge watching video essays and analysis on youtube about my favorite stuff, but this resonates with me a lot.

Apologies for taking so long to answer. Been hella busy with some movies.

I haven't sat down in a long time to write either of my wips but I still think about what to do with them and how to proceed. Not the answers many might want but that's what it is for the moment. You could say they're on a hiatus. But I never really stop thinking about them. I just don't know when I will finish them. My hope is if I can finish both chapters 2 of both wips eventually, i can get out of the rock I'm stuck in and continue since chapter 2 seems to always be what I struggle with the most in my works. Will let you all know when I finally update them.

Now if only I could convince my brain of that. 😂😂😂😂.

My classic "stuck on chapter 2" problem that I'm starting to think it's an issue with all of my projects. At first i think that the first idea of chapter 2 that i have is great or good enough but as i write it I'm suddenly getting caught up in plot holes or stuff that doesn't make sense or big plot events i have no idea how to connect and if i don't connect them, the pacing will feel rushed.

Rules: post the names of all the files in your WIP folder regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them and then post a little snippet of it or tell them something about it! And then tag as many people as you have wips. This is for both art and writing!
