#screamjam2024

Currently, the script stands at around 1k words, hedging to 2k.

At the start of the jam, I mentioned keeping the 1st POV format common to epistolary stories. But something about it wasn't working out for me. Anyway, on day 4 I gave into the urge to see what a change of the direction would look like, then voilà! It all clicked. It won't be everyone's cup of tea, but it makes sense.

In hindsight, the 1st POV would have been better were NW a short story or an episode for a TV series. Which, turns out, suit the idea better. Too late to change now. I will try my best to make it work.

Moving on, I might not be able to upload the full game in time. And that's okay. After the jam, I can polish and continue the rest without rush.

The game logo is finally done! After playing around with the visuals the final result is as good as it can get!

Yesterday and today I got around designing the graphics for NW which means the set-up for the game page is 85% done!

Polished more of the layout for the project until the things that were bugging me finally worked out! Safe to say, I can now spend the rest of the jam period focusing on the script, with the visuals out of the way.

I decided to save the final days specifically for encoding. Come what may, I can polish the script and everything else once the jam ends. The important thing is I submitted in time! Fair warning, be prepared for the grammar mistakes, misspellings, structural nonesense and what have you.
