First Or Third Person???????

first or third person???????

hey guys!! im working on a game based on one of the ideas i posted earlier (i'll reveal more if i manage to finish the first chapter lol), but i was just wondering how i should format the narrative, since you'll be making choices as max - would first or third person look better?

example of first person:

You and Chloe have a sick dance break while the shopkeeper watches you in shock.

example of third person:

Max and Chloe have a sick dance break while the shopkeeper watches them in shock.

additionally, i was wondering about dialogue -- is it better just to keep it indirect like in the game i've posted previously, or just put direct quotes? indirect might make it seem kind of more detached, but for direct there's a risk that i would write chloe's dialogue in a way that doesn't really seem like something she would say (sorry for all the questions, it would just be super helpful to see what you guys think looks better!!!)

indirect example:

You decide to play the Gummy Bear song for the fiftieth time in the row. Chloe rolls her eyes, groaning about how stupid the song is.

direct example:

You decided to play the Gummy Bear song for the fiftieth time in the row. Chloe rolls her eyes.

"Dude, again? This song is so fucking dumb!"

if you guys have any thoughts about this, please let me know! it would be super helpful :-)

there's this woman's voice singing along in some parts of the background of 'piano fire' by sparklehorse and i like to imagine it's chloe singing along since it's one of the songs she plays in her room :)

Hey how's the game coming along?

good question!! :) i haven't been working on it a lot recently because i've got some exams and stuff (also just a motivation issue), but chapter 1 is pretty much done.

i just need to finish a few things and then i could post it if people would like to play it- honestly, i didn't know if anyone would be interested, so thanks for asking! :)

possible ideas for future games

hey guys!

i’ve been adding to the game bit by bit and i’ll continue to do that, but i think it would also be kind of cool to work on something else and post it when it’s reasonably finished!! :-)

i’ll probably do a bunch of these not just one — i just wanted to see what people would be interested in, or if anyone has any cool ideas!!!!

these are my ideas:

life is strange:

kate’s experience at blackwell (either before or after the events of lis1?)

max and chloe sort of being homeless/ on the run after sacrificing arcadia bay (i guess similar to lis2 in a way!!)

being victoria after the events of lis1 (sacrifice chloe ending)

chloe just sort of walking around arcadia bay (after rachel’s disappearance and before she meets max)

other:

some sort of brief fantasy rpg thing (i love fantasy)

yeah, i guess most of them are kind of life is strange themed because i’m super fixated on it right now :D

lis2 sean diaz wolf squad patch!!

hey guys!! i really enjoyed making the other patch so i embroidered a small version Sean's hoodie design as practice for making a bigger one!

if anyone is interested, here are the things i used:

nail scissors to cut fabric and thread because i couldn't find my regular scissors

fabric from an old white t-shirt!

blue and red embroidery thread (split into half and tied together at the end to secure it in the needle)

smaller and larger needle

regular black thread doubled over

big updates!!!!

hello everyone!!!

so i had a sudden burst of motivation today and added a lot of aspects to the life is strange text game as well as a tiny bit of plot too :)

here's what i added/changed:

removed dana (for now at least, sorry

added a 'bag' item - this is a big one! it's got sort of like two main cool bits:

the phone - here you can catch up on texts that are different depending on how you interact with the characters, sort of like in the original game :)

the other part is there are some items you can pick up that might affect the story/what you can do!

i also just added a bit more plot (finally) although i have yet to completely finish the cafeteria scene - some interactions still aren't totally done.

overall though this game isn't meant to be super dramatic or anything like that, it's just for fun! there's a dance at the end that you can choose to attend (or not) with specific characters so that's sort of where the plot is going.

also this new version is on a different file; it's not hidden or anything, but i might just wait until i finish a few things to share the link (otherwise it could show errors if you try to play while it's being edited)!

thanks again everyone :)
