Oh so cool! makes me want to make pizzas haha

this game looked amazing from start to finish, i hope you make more games in the future

while i wasn't able to reach the entire plot like i wanted to, i think i managed to set up the interactions which are the main part of the game, so at least i had that. i hope qiong's personality was conveyed properly. i learned a lot abt visual novels tbh and im glad i made this #smallgamestudio

im unsure why its like that, i kept everything to match the aspect ratio, but i'm hoping people play in fullscreen. It's labeled as in development but this IS my final build and people can play it properly if they download it. i wish i couldve figured out quit and restart #smallgamestudio

Last post of this course....I'm glad I managed to get Hunted working, even if it wasnt to the point that I wanted to. I'm proud i managed to create multiple paths and learned how to parse from a spreadsheet. Tomorrow i'll animate the text in a simple way and take screenshots. #smallgamestudio

Thank you...I appreciate your kind words 🙏

dope it sucks when you have to minimize the scope of a project but if youre doing it for yourself thats the most important thing, that it still means something to you

#smallgamestudio coding time....

#smallgamestudio Everyone is very far along with their which is giving me the nerves but uhhh. Hopefully this will end up being a decent game.....I'll have to figure out how to do the menu...sweats

#smallgamestudio I'm going to do my best to start the parsing code and such, i made it so i only published the first half of the plot since the rest is more forks that i couldnt figure out (choice of prev choice affecting future paths) but i think that's enough for the beta

#smallgamestudio Okay i just made a bunch of art assets.....i need to do the dialogue boxes, i dont think ill be able to make a game menu....doing this is just me cutting away parts that i dont think i can do

#smallgamestudio Maybe for thursday i can just have the texts since I dont have any sprites or pictures yet. The important thing is the story anyway. Yall will just have to play a text based game i suppose

#smallgamestudio Last time with adventure I wrote it all in the code from the get go since they were little blurbs, but this time i guess i should make an actual script. Maybe on google docs. I hope to have at least one path finished or something....I need to watch the videos too

#smallgamestudio Haven't gotten a chance to work on my game yet or write it....cursed procrastination. I'm hoping to get started on it during class tomorrow

oh this design is so dope

This cover looks awesome!

#smallgamestudio The base mechanics is just making sure it can go from one text to another, since it is text based first and foremost. the most worrying part is figuring out how to put the sprites and how to trigger them

#smallgamestudio I tried to look at unity tutorials to see how other people were doing their VNs, but there's a lot of complex coding of things we didn't learn yet, and i think it's better if i stick with things i know for now

#smallgamestudio managed to put together my slide deck for my final game, HUNTED. Updated my elevator pitch as well, so hopefully that's eye catching enough

that moment when you dont really understnad what you mad.e....

My brain is going to explode because i cant figure out how to spawn more balls before the game breaks. Even the saucer tutorial isnt helping because the ball just stops moving

Yeah ill build off 3.1 to just keep spawning balls to represent how brain fog feels or juggling responsibilities thank god this one is abstract #smallgamestudio just need to multiple the balls and spawn every few seconds

#Smallgamestudio maybe i can make a depression or mental illness based game since it's abt making meaning thru colors n simple shapes.......this could be fire

Me too. I keep procrastinating because i don't have ideas and i end up rushing the product...I guess jotting down ideas or concepts through the week

#smallgamestudioarcade3 I am not the best at deciphering abstract game. i played the passage, which i think the guy meets a girl and they go through life together. the controls dont allow you to go diagonally, only up down left right one at a time. The maker said if i dont get it keep playing

#smallgamestudioarcade3 I played the flower game. I love the use of symmetry and geometry, the images were appealing and aesthetic alone, plus the factor of trying to keep track of all of the snake heads to properly collect the red things

oh ahah it was a part of the list. Yup it was this one kyrie.pe/the_marriage/ , played it before for video games + culture class. I think squares being one of the simple shapes but then adding the mechanics of colliders making a tangible narrative is interesting. I want to do that too....

#SmallGameStudioArcade3
started off playing this game called "lian" by yi. with the use of the squares, it reminded me of this old game called "marriage"? or something. you would have to dodge certain shapes otherwise it would shrink the square. the concept of distance "hurting" the squares is cool

Nope scoreboard is going to make my brain explode. Tried to find a reference and got hit w "unity events" and everything.....

#smallgamestudio
I wanted the score to track in +5 inc but i forgot how to do that....i also am trying to figure out the scoreboard. If not then this is just going to be how it is
