small update! i haven't had as much time to work on it as i'd like, but i still got somewhere :) i was mostly just trying to compile and draw the sprites for now... i figured out how to do composite images, which is great because i can save each expression and outfit separately so i don't have to add like a hundred combinations for each character.
oh, and here's chloe! this is at the start of the game, but i decided to include her little blue tuft because i love how it looks :D
you'd be surprised at how crazy the code gets. but i learned some things, so it's pretty cool! now i'll start chipping away at the story, and variations of the sprites.
(fan game) life is strange: lost and found!!!!!
hey guys!
so i've been planning a sort of visual novel game recently which will build on a python game that i made that allows you to go to blackwell and meet a bunch of characters :) it would include a lot of choices and consequences -- a bit like Love is Strange! i love that game but i wanted to avoid something too similar, so here's the general idea for mine:
play as a student in blackwell at the start of the new school year -- everyone else is new, so you can make friends and meet a bunch of people!
the core characters you could meet would be max, chloe, rachel, kate, warren and victoria, though if i finish, i might add more people! :) [such as steph and dana]
the first week is composed of a few different subjects which you get to try out, and work with a partner (of your choice!!!) to complete your lesson tasks
there's a prom coming up in a couple of days! you get to ask a character if they'd like to go with you :)
since it's just me working on it as a fun project, it's a little less ambitious than Love is Strange, haha :D but i hope it'll be fun to play when complete! also your choices totally impact your outcome ^^ the next couple of months are unfortunately horrendously busy but i hope i can find time to work on it, and i'll post updates!
lo and behold, the game so far. it looks like a mess because it is! i'm just using images from google (the text box is from animal crossing) for now to figure out the story haha :D
bonus: a kate marsh sprite! :)
... okay in retrospect i gotta resize the sprites somehow... this girl fills like the whole damn screen
(if anyone is wondering i did change the title since 'welcome to blackwell' is also the name of an official LiS book you can buy haha :))
does anyone else see it.
chloe price poses
i was just messing around on Mixamo to try and figure out how to make a Chloe Price figurine, thought these were kinda silly so i'd like to share. enjoy! :) i'll probably make some more. for some reason chloe is the only one i can rig... but maybe ill figure it out
victoria after you comfort vs make fun of her

does the name lis lost and found refer to anything specific that happens in the game? :0
i first just kind of thought of it because it’s a phrase that’s kind of used in school (in american school too i hope ^^), but i wanted to kind of like build on some of the characters a bit so i guess it’s kind of like you’re find-ing out about them??? hahah :) it’s pretty divergent from the original story because of no jefferson and no storm and all that, so you kind of get a chance to intervene and meet the characters you know!! thanks for the question :)

life is strange characters if they lived in england and were doing their gcses i guess???
im english and ilove life is strange so .why not. not entirely sure what the hell this is but loving it!!!
(also in hindsight a lot of these probably work for american skewl too.)
chloe price
hate to say it but she would vape in the school bathrooms
does not care about uniform restrictions; dyed hair, never tucks her shirt in, piercings and painted nails... the whole lot
wears trousers even in summer because she thinks shorts look stupid (to be fair, they do... i would know)
in isolation 90% of the time
hijacks a lime bike to get to school
judged but really chill and smart
sleeps in and is late
all the teachers know her (just because she always gets detentions)
mates with the lunch staff!!!
max caulfield
neek
was petrified of everything in year 7
always says 'good morning' instead of 'here' during the register
perfect uniform but she wears cute badges!
relentlessly bullied for her weird shoulder bag
only detention was for doing 'graffiti' in her book (doodles)
takes the bus to school
kate marsh
overly attached to her english teacher
perfect uniform! (except for her crucifix necklace :)
all the work gets handed to her in group presentations because she's the only one doing it
trembling 90% of the time
walks to school (the bus is too stressful)
picked combined science gcse so she could do music, psychology and art!
most teachers love her
never got detention
always half an hour early (gets up at 5am)
probably would break down crying if she did
warren graham
disregard what i said about max this guy is the ALPHA neek
does science club (even though he doesnt have to)
picked triple science and computer science (and ENJOYS IT.)
honestly his parents probably drive him to school
spends most of his lunchtimes in a science lab
always points out when the gas taps are open
big. ass. backpack.
victoria chase
heavy make-up, but really good at it!!!!
earrings + nails even though they are not allowed
always making diss tracks about some girl that looked at her funny (kate)
m to the b core...
cba with the uniform restrictions
'miss i didn't even say anything'
carries all her stuff in a chunky handbag
constantly suffocating the classroom by spraying body spray
it made the fire alarms go off.
cackles at all the year 7s running with their big bags (warren included)

homeless woman from LiS spotted????
i was just playing before the storm episode 3 and the nurse working at the hospital looks identical to the homeless woman! she told max that she 'married dumb, made mistakes, got cheated out of my savings, lost my home' to end up homeless, so this could have happened after we see her here - or this could just be a very similar-looking model!
edit: just saw this post that said the exact same thing! it's cool that someone else noticed it :D
updates!!!
hey guys!! recently ive been ill so its given me a chance to work more on my game :) ive been editing it heavily on a separate project so you probably havent noticed any changes, but i've replaced the old code now :D i've changed quite a lot of things and i have more plans to improve/add things!
character customisation:
originally i couldn't decide whether you play as max or an original character, i decided to go just customisable route because then you can always name yourself 'max'! there's no visual customisation because this is a text-based game, but you can choose your name and also your pronouns that characters can use for you :)
(for some events you can also choose outfits and things like that!)
dialogue:
i added dialogue so it's a little longer and a lot less dry :D i'll be adding more detail to each interaction whenever so yeah! im happy about this one
hey warren fans
i actually added a scene with him in the classroom now! you can also sit with him at lunch but that's not COMPLETE so....
FINALLY finished the cafeteria scene (warren in progress! :)
i finished the cafeteria scenes for kate, victoria and steph so far! :) i have plans for what will happen after that, but i believe it's still a little buggy so i gotta work on that.
anyways, thank you for the interest, i'll continue working on it when i have the energy, although i think soon i might consider making a ren'py project (visual novel), or a game more focused on one character :)
for anyone who’s not on life is strange twitter, someone just found out that you can actually see kate marsh walking on the roof through the window in jefferson’s class. just after victoria says “i think everybody has seen kate marsh by now”. very chilling.
(credit to J3nX24 on twitter for the discovery, they were playing the remastered but it looks like this also happens in the original)
HI!! AHH i saw your lis text based game and i was wondering, what fork is? I tried searching but I couldn't find it and i was looking forward to playing it!
also, since it's open world, i was curious if your game follows the same plot as the og game with a twist? can you customize your character or, even romance? its all so interesting and exciting to see how you'll execute it kfjgfkjgfkjgfj
hey!!! im really honored by how interested in the game, thank you so much :) if you click on the link, you should be able to see the 'fork' button in the top right i think? the really annoying thing is that you have to sign up for this, though :c
so... i just attached the image and the quality obliterated! but you can SORT of see a green button in the top right, that's the fork button.
i am also really sorry if youre having issues playing with it!! the website changed its system so you have to do all of this just to play the game lol :) i've been searching for alternate websites for a while now so i haven't really been working on it a lot, but i still love to think of it hahah!!
i was planning to have a sort of 'prom' ending when you can ask a character if they want to go with you and you can choose outfits, blah blah blah...
and yeah! i would love to add more customisation and all that, my plan was to make the core game and then continue adding characters and customisation like that :D but again, i gotta find a better site!
again, thanks for your enthusiasm :) have a nice day!
does anyone else feel a little disturbed when corporations use the pronoun 'we'... like why are you a hive mind
the hair transplant went well
i just realised i made the sport where her roots are growing out look like a bald patch... chloe's fault
when the interest is so deep that you have to make a cardboard chloe price
i dont know if this makes sense to anyone besides me but i always sort of imagined grown up chloe as being similar to donita sparks from L7!
(in case anyone is curious she's the lead singer of 1980s-90s(?) punk band L7! they're still making music to this day)

hawt dawg man patch!!!
hey guys i made another patch a while back and i just remembered to post it! i sort of squished the poor guy but the design is based off one of the Messages stickers you can get if you get LIS1 on mobile :)
here are some photos of my 'process' (basically just winging it) if anyone wants to see!
literally the only proper equipment i have is some embroidery thread, the rest is using old fabric from a school shirt and a needle! dont let it stop you :) anyway first i just trace or draw the design and start doing stitches, i try to keep it in the same orientation unless i want some sort of pattern if you get me...
more stitches!
here the body is basically complete
eyes and limbs! :)
here is the back halfway through. just to show you how little of a plan i have
that's sort of it! i see to have missed the rest but i just did basically the same thing... for the border i cannot do a proper satin stitch (or whatever its called) without curling the edges so i just sorta went around the hawt dawg man. that part would be a LOT easier with a sewing machine. but it's sort of calming!!
how did you get into lis?
thank you for the question! im not actually sure, it was sort of like i got gradually exposed to clips of the first game and it looked really interesting to me :) then i think i watched a compilation of gay couples in games and i deadass thought that ellie and dina from tlou were in a life is strange game as well! what about you ^^
