Let’s do this!

I’m a fairly novice Python programmer, and though I’ve been making games for a while I’ve never finished any (my projects folder is full of half-done maps and unfinished genetics simulators.) I thought this might be a good way to kick myself into actually finishing something! I’ll be working in either Kivy, Ren’py, or possibly Pygame (which I’m less experienced in) depending on what the theme is, and doing art in some mix of GraphicsGale, Photoshop, and Paint Tool SAI.

Yay! A tip for making sure you finish: Be sure to cut features! A smaller game without as many cool features is better than an unfinished game!

12 hour progress

Nothing all that interesting to screenshot. I’m working on Double Half, an interactive crime mystery game where the player takes advantage of the twin private investigators’ different abilities and their different perceived realities (based on the idea that your world is your reality, and connected by their communication with each other and their notes) to solve the case of who killed Ronaldo Anderson.

I have the introductory sequence, autopsy report, crime scene report, crime timeline, list of witnesses/helpful people, and list of (discarded) suspects done. Worried I won’t have time for graphics, though…
