Hey Everyone! I Think I Have Some Motivation So I Might Work On The Life Is Strange Text Game (first

hey everyone! i think i have some motivation so i might work on the life is strange text game (first post), i'm just wondering if anyone has any requests/ ideas for things to add! if not i'll just continue working on the cafeteria and afterwards probably :)

updates!!

hello everyone!

sorry i haven't posted much recently -- i haven't been working a whole lot on the life is strange text game :c

that's cool though, because instead i've been working on a game about max and chloe traveling after the storm!!

i want it to be pretty long, and because of the nature of the game and how i can't make a save feature as of yet, it has to be played in one chunk (it can be played over a bunch of days as long as the tab is still open), so i'd prefer to post it when it's finished!

in the meantime maybe i'll post, like, a short demo of the first chapter or something, but it's super fun to work on :-)

i've got my own exams coming up soon so it'll probably take me a while to finish the game; i hope that's okay!

thank you to everyone for liking or reposting or following or whatever, it's really sweet and it makes me motivated to keep making more things!! i hope everyone has a nice day!!! <3

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!

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 :)

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 :-)

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