Other Things Seen, Other Things Heard is a Twine game I'm working on. Title may change, but this project was slightly inspired by a Korean American artist named Theresa Hak Kyung Cha and is named after one of her performance works.

Summary: I don't have the idea really molded yet. But I will put some keywords: Growth, diaspora, loss, spiral, digital, and endings.

I do have a bad ending outlined though. I will have a neutral and a good ending I'm a person that just writes and waits for the ideas to come.

I have been messing with Twine for awhile, but just now been researching things like html and CSS. So I'm going to be learning a lot. But I am obsessive with certain things and I keep fretting with how I want it to look. I like the Sugarcube thing and I'm using 2.0. but I want to use this twine stylesheet, The Earth's Story 1.0, It says there's no sidebar, but I put the stylesheet in and there is a sidebar? I want to keep things simple and minimal but I still want it to look nice....

Is it necessary to put a date lol? I was previously putting these entries on Tumblr, but I think I will just copy and paste. Tumblr is such a huge distraction.

So my progress so far, definitely better than the past few days. I barely did anything except mess around with the theme which I managed to get working and I like so far. Simple and sleek. But who knows it may change in the future. Um. How do you take screenshots of the work? Lol. Windows 10, why?

I'm going to work on the Bad Ending path. I'm starting to feel a story element somewhat similar to Franz Kafka's The Trial. Which I never read but have an idea of what it's about. (I should get on that.)

I will post the text of the first passage which is a quote from Spring Snow by Yukio Mishima

"There's no doubt that he's heading straight for tragedy. It will be beautiful, of course, but should he throw his whole life away as a sacrificial offering to such a fleeting beauty - like a bird in flight glimpsed from a window?

Yukio Mishima"

As of yet, i can't figure if the main character is male or female or non-binary or any of the characteristics. I guess I will make this story reflect on the reader, like have the reader place theirself in the story. (I'm being too ambitious.)

I haven't done much work from the last post I made here. Just a smidge. Here's some snapshots of the Twine project. This is kind of a first draft, I hope the story will make sense by the time I finish one of the endings. I honestly feel like the writing is so so vague and doesn't even make sense anymore. I'm starting to sense that this is a psychological thriller type of story instead of the one intended before, it has gone full circle...

The intro quote. Beginning or epilogue, the birth, indicated by peanut color.

The start of the game indicated by the mint color.

One of the paths to one of the endings. Each path has a different color(I hope this all makes sense.)

Lol, I got distracted and started doing another Twine project. I think I will keep it short and the only reason why I might submit this one is bc I actually learned something, which is basic CSS. That's progress. Who cares about content, how about learning?And maybe I will experiment and learn more and hopefully submit it on time.
