Viewing post in The Caslin Sisters jam comments
Just watched the video!
At the very least, I'm personally very unsatisfied with what's left of the characters and lore in the version I submitted. The first draft had more explanation of the setting and an actual separate character arc for each of the sisters, but alas, 2/3 of the game just wasn't fun and I made the choice to make major cuts so close to the deadline without giving myself time to fill in the gaps. ^^;
I do think it's better game for that choice, but wow is it a significantly weaker story.
That said, giving the sisters differences from a gameplay standpoint totally never crossed my mind! It seems like such an obvious thing in hindsight and I feel really silly now! xD
If I ever expand on this concept I'll definitely have to do that.
On the other hand onscreen timer I did try, but it felt extraneous to me. Though a large part of that is probably just a personal quirk; I've never been fond of timers in puzzle games and similar genres. But, um, yeah, creating actual tension would be even more important in a longer thing. I'll have to consider how to approach that if I ever do come back to this.
But yeah, long ramble aside, thanks so much for playing, and thanks especially for your comments and advice!
