So, I intend to do a little interactive fiction with Construct 2, using arrays.

I red recently some Dashiell Hammett novellas, played LA Noire and had watched Chinatown for the 5th time, so I’ll write a small hard-boiled/crime story crime story, in the 1920s 1930/1950s Chicago (cf. old maps of Chicago). And, why not using some old jazz music found on archive.org (1920s/1940s music, so probably public domain/CCO, right?)…

No graphics, just a nice titlescreen (like these old awesome movies titlescreen from ansas), and (of course) an (corny) old movie look.

I’ll probably spend more than few hours on this game (… I already work on the title screen mockup underneath for hours XD) writing all the story so it’s not really a warmup… it’s more a personal challenge: English is not my natural language, so I’m forcing myself to write a lot of stuff. And of course, you’ll see some horrible mistake/misspells!
