General Development Update #5

Sheets

I have added a download of the special edition of Sheets to the itch.io page. It includes the local .html file, the game's base poem in its original format, and a short page of production notes. There is also now an option to make a donation, although this is completely optional.

Read the game again on its freshly tinkered-with page here!

Also, if you enjoyed Sheets, please take a moment to rate it at its page on the Interactive Fiction Database.

Website

The website pretty much looks the way I want it for now. I added some newly necessary rules to the contact page; please read them before attempting to contact me.

Followers

I also wanted to say thanks to the new followers I've gained recently. Thank you for your support, and I hope to soon have a new game out to impress/astound you.

See you soon!

Sheets, my first interactive fiction game, is now available!

......Well, this kind of came out of nowhere, didn't it?

I mean, I do also want to write interactive fiction games, so to that end, I've been tinkering around with Twine. And in that tinkering, I ended up adapting a previously written poem for the engine. And so now we have a game-like thing.

This is very short, like five minutes maybe. I do not expect it to get worldwide praise and acclaim. But I think I've made a big first step. I finally have an actual game that I can point to and say, "Yeah, I am a game developer!" I'm not a big one yet, and I have a very long way to go. But I've made a step. And that's a big deal for me.

So...about the game. It's adapted from a poem I wrote, also called "Sheets". (I will probably post the original poem at some point.) It's very short. It is dark. It is a dear poem to my heart. I used to write poetry all the time, and the time I wrote this was around the time where I started being able to look at my work and not automatically hate every bit of it.

To get a little personal...It's very hard for me to be happy. I would not call myself a happy person.

But this makes me a little happy. And that's good. :)

So guys! Play the game should you desire! Like it or hate it, it's out there, and I did it myself.

General Development Update #3

The Prince and the Wolf

Writing has kind of slowed down on this one, to be honest. Both the artist and myself have been rather tied up with personal life stuff. I'm going to try to work on it more tonight, though.

The Tower

I've taken this one off the development list for now, as I'm not actively working on it at the moment.

Yumi-chan's Wonderful Cake Shop

This one kind of quietly crept into development, didn't it? The script is progressing nicely and I'll probably start recruitment for artwork and GUI soon. As for what it's about...Well, all I want to say for now is that it's a short kinetic novel about a man who meets a young cake shop owner and how his life changes from there. There will be lots of cake and cookies, probably.

Sheets

This is an interactive fiction game I made in Twine, and....it is ready for release! Just as soon as I work out hosting and get my actual website up to speed. Look forward to it!

Actual Website

The website is coming along all right; still needs some tinkering before I can officially unveil it, though.

So look forward to a text-based game, a website, and other fun things!
