My game is called “Connected,” and it’s interactive fiction!
\n \"title\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I started out thinking of ideas for the theme. I spent roughly 2 hours on the idea.
\n The night wasn’t very productive for me. After I came up with the idea I figured I’d need a system for displaying text, so I drew a font and implemented text rendering. Once I had that working I changed my mind and decided that the game should be simpler.
\n My final decision was to narrate the story verbally, and display relevent artwork on screen. When a scene is finished, an arrow will appear in the lower right, and clicking the screen advances the scene.
\n No decision making\/multiple paths, just a little story in game form.<\/p>\n

After sleeping all morning I started working on the story.
\n I now have the story finished. It is two chapters, each chapter being seperate, but they are connected!<\/p>\n

I also have a couple character sketches.

There isn’t much work for coding this game, so I’m not worried about that, but getting the art done in the remaining time is going to be the real challenge.
\n At minimum I’ll have rough paper sketches. All of my extra time (if I have any) is definitely going to be going into polishing.<\/p>","time":"August 23rd, 2014 6:22 pm","title":"Day 1 Report"}
