Life Is Strange - After The Storm (Chapter 1)

hello everyone!! there is some brief info and tips at the start of the game if you'd like to read that, but this is just the first chapter o

hello everyone!! sorry i haven't posted much recently, honestly i just wasn't working on much because i had exams and all that... but anyways! now i think i'm sort of finished with the first chapter of this game :)

it was really sweet how many people were interested - if you're not sure what this post is about, it's a python-based text game like the first one i posted on this account, based on what happens after Max and Chloe leave Arcadia Bay.

i don't really know how much to say here, i think it's sort of longish(??) but definitely shouldn't take super long to play! (just depends on how fast you read/type.)

i hope you guys let me know what you thought, and if you have any feedback/noticed any errors i'd be happy to hear it :)

in the meantime i do have a story planned out for the next chapter, but i might work on other things too for a while.

thanks for reading, hope you have a nice day!!! <3

side note: it was sort of a big chunk of code. so sorry if it takes a while to load!!

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 :-)

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

erm...

hey guys sorry to point this out, but the server that i like to code my life is strange games on doesn't allow other people to run them anymore for some reason </3 i am so sorry about this - if you really want to try and play it you can play 'Fork' and it should make your own version that you can run, but i think you might need an account for this (free but you know still) so sorry for the hindrance... i'll try to find a better platform soon!

on another note, i was trying to install this app called renPy that allows you to make visual novels wiht python - so similar to what i'm doing but with visuals too!! the only issue is, my computer seems not not allow me to download any new apps so i have to get that sorted out...

i think the creators of Love is Strange also used this platform which is why i'm excited about it :) unfortunately i haven't been able to actually play and download that game either, but it looks super beautiful (here's the link if you wanna check it out, i think you'd also need to download the itch.io installer)

Love is Strange by Team Rumblebee

A fan dating vn based off Life is Strange.

i just found this old website i never finished for a computer science project lol :)

whats your favorite part of game development?

first of all thank you for this question it makes me feel all fancy. second i just love sort of imagining what will happen (doing storyboards or plans or things like that), it's super fun :) it's also cool that you can write your own experiences into the game and things like that!
