So i changed my mind and i actually don’t wanna make this text-based game that deals with my trauma right now.
Instead i’m gunna work on it over the winter break, or at another time when i am feeling stronger to deal with rereading my detailed written accounts of trauma. I have added more scenes to the original prototype but i had to put it down again for a while because it got to be too much for me.
I hope to still combine it with Puddle for a completed text-idle based game of some sort. I think it might keep the name Puddle still. Or combine What The Fuck Why (WTFW) with it.
This game has been difficult to develop mainly because of the content. Also because I do not think that I am prepared to hear critiques about a game that involves my trauma. I am conscerned about taking people’s critiques personally on some level, and that could hurt me more. I am trying not to be disappointed about having to put this text-based game away for a bit because to me completing this game would mark an achievement in my healing process of some sort.
But i know whatever game it becomes will be that fulfilling progress mark for me, and i know that Puddle will come out well without it too.
