t depends on the situation โ€” Iโ€™ve failed missions too, even the first one, haha. When you get stuck, you often have to take risks and conserve cards or energy.
That said, I love the game. The world feels alive, and the calm atmosphere makes even failure feel relaxing.

Iโ€™m thinking about making a game based on Dostoevskyโ€™s White Nights.

Have you ever created a game based on a literary classic?

Let me know!

During development: โ€œWow! That's a brilliant idea!โ€
A few hours later: "It sucks!"
Sad story.

Iโ€™m working on a one-page game called The Lake (working title). The goal is to reach the center of the lake๐Ÿ‰

I like to write and sketch things in my notebook.

Do you work that way too?

I've found some great Discord communities through game jams on Itchio (like the Poetry-Inspired TTRPG Jam, the Eternal TTRPG Jam and the One-Page RPG Jam). I'm also in the 'TTRPG Development' Discord, but I havenโ€™t really interacted much there, though the community seems very active.

I'll take a look at Brambletrek.
So far, I've created four minimal games that focus mainly on narrative and emotional experiences. Three are for two players, and one is for a group of 3-5.
I only started about a month ago, but I'm really enjoying the process๐Ÿ˜Š
