Today I've uploaded the demo of my horror & murder mystery game! There's a lot I need to learn involving Twine and CSS coding, but I've been making some good progress.  I hope to add images, musics, and other features into the full game. My deadline is to have the first game done before the end of summer.

Current Development Process:

Right now, I'm currently in the process of writing the remaining quests, finishing up characters designs, and creating the art assets. 

The Demo Quests still need to be revised in addition to make the other paths like character interactions and object interactions. ( The ones not important to the story).  There are 2 other quests that are currently WIPS (stuck trying to figure out how to continue the plots).  The rests of the quests haven't been written yet.  There is a total of 8 main quests & 1 secret quest. The secret quest will only be unlocked only after finished every other quest. 

The art assets are currently in the process of being designed. A total of 5 characters (all seen in the demo) have been designed and their sprites are currently being drawn.  There are a total of 13 characters in the game that need to be designed. This also goes for the scenes and items used in the game. I'm planning to have a friend help me on some art assets, but we still need to discuss this.  All of my art will be hand-drawn in a child-like style to fit the theme of their game. Their art will be done digitally but will also fit the game's style. 

During the development of the full game, I will be making a shorter prequel game.  It involves one of the faculty exploring the school and trying to investigate the mysteries behind it. This is to introduce the character profiles and lay-out of the school. This character will also play a role in the main story. I will be working on this after I have all the quests in their rough draft stage.

Ramblings:

As for the idea of this game, I was inspired by the Kindergarten Game series. As for the characters, most of the ones featured in the story have been created by me many years ago. Now I'm excited to finally be using them in an official project! Katarina and Fern have been with me for the longest time. My first two OCs in a story-based game! They originated in a middle school short story about these two having a broken friendship. Now they're just frenemies lol

I'm using this project to improve my creative writing skills and to learn some coding.  Also to spend some time over the summer working on a project. This is both for fun and to learn some important skills that can come in handy for my university studies. 

Thank you for reading! Please look forward more devlogs as I continue to work on the game!
