pardon my usage of Rachel Amber vocabulary if you will kind Sir but those daises are rather “hella cool” — my own pic! 🤍
Life Is Strange - Text-based Game :-)
hi everyone!! i don't really know how tumblr works but i just wanted to share this python game i've been working on for a little while;
it's super simple but it's really fun to work on :D at present it's nowhere near finished-- i wanted to share it to see if you guys have any feedback or ideas on what needs to be added, thank you very much :)
NOTE:
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 still a bit of a hassle) so sorry for the hindrance... i'll try to find a better platform soon! :)
quick update!!
sorry i haven't added much recently because there's been so much for me to do, but i really appreciate all the attention it's so sweet :)
my plan is to work on it bit by bit when i have the time, and i'll post when i add bits to let you guys know of updates!!
i have some ideas on what the plot will continue and maybe some other games i'd like to work on, but if anyone has any ideas feel free to let me know it'd be super helpful!
i think that's all but thank you very much <3
optional poll:
in the meantime i might try to add more characters/more interactions with characters in the existing narrative but that's just sort of a maybe :)
brief updates!!
thanks again everyone for being so kind :)
cafeteria:
steph:
i finished the interaction, i might change some wording or colours but it’s pretty much done for now!
victoria:
you can either choose to stay with victoria or leave with rachel (i added more story to either :-)
(whoever you sit with in the cafeteria will mean you have another interaction with them in the future, although the future hasn’t been added yet :c)
after:
added a tiny bit more plot after you leave the cafeteria as well as a choice involving nathan (this will lead to you meeting chloe in the future)
NOTE: this game isn’t really supposed to fit into a specific timeline in the original games because you can talk to some bts students and lis1 students!! it’s just for fun so you could meet a wider range of characters (and i get to avoid blame for plot holes lol). in the future, i might make games that make a bit more sense in the game’s context, for example; one centered around kate’s backstory, or what happens after you sacrifice chloe or something like that!!
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
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 :-)
