#game developing

I started the day with actually messing around the program itself to see how everything works. I downloaded an updated version of Visual Studio to use for the coding and got to work on another game about squirrels for a proof of concept.

Once I figured out how to add the images and labels I went to work on creating a short story with two endings. It was a little tricky to figure out how to build it at first but luckily I figured it out. I even made it available to play in Browser.

Despite it's simplicity I think I did well but I'm going to go back in my script and change some things to make it easier to translate to code.

Here's the prototype game: https://wolfstarr22.itch.io/squirrel-game

Milk and cookies just for you! 

So I’m making a visual novel, and it’s called fallen down! It’s an Undertale fangame.

What is it about?

Toriel finds you in the ruins and saves you from Flowey. As usual, she takes you home and you bake with her and get a good night's rest.

When and where will it be available?

The game will be available on May 1st. You can find it on Itch.io at Moth-Of-Stars

How much will it be?

After graduating from high school, most of us face so many possibilities we can't even really comprehend them all.

There is so much to discover. So many paths you could take. So many versions of yourself.

You could go to med school. Take a gap year as an au pair. Start working freelance. Commit to writing and enter competitions. Get a degree in computer science. Intern at a large financial company. Volunteer for a political cause. Start your own online shop. Move to another country to learn a new language. Go to a small liberal arts college. Start a traineeship. Online university. Independent research.

This lead us (me and Rona aka @findx) to think about ways that we can display this struggle many of us face. Illustrate the incredible amount of opportunities and possibilities, without seeming overwhelming. Show up alternatives, get you to think of options you may never have considered before, or just dream.

Escaping the paralysis of too many choices.

That's why we decided to call LIFEBLR – well, into life. With a text-based approach, we want to include as many ideas, perspectives, and paths as possible. To let the player experience both the well-traveled road – and the path less taken.

To accomplish this, we need your support. Contribute either with:

Writing

Help expand the scale of the game. Write scenarios, pathways, and choices. Present your personal experiences and think of new directions. Please include a sample of your work in the application form (found below).

Marketing

Help us spread the game and what it strives to accomplish.

Designing and Illustrating

Design graphics and illustration for future purposes, such as for a possible website, social media accounts etc.

Coding

Help Rona with the technical part of the game, and help expand it.
