itch.io

This was absolutely incredible! You didn't just anticipate people abusing the save system/back button to find more and more endings but leaned into it, the writing was amazing,  and somehow you managed to make minigames work with Renpy's relatively static format. If this is your first game, I'm looking forward to whatever else you decide to make!

1. Hello, hello! My name is EpisodicChaos and I’ll be working with Oxygentleman (who doesn’t have an Itch.io profile, so he’s having me manage everything here). 

2. I’d honestly never heard of you all until today. I was refreshing my dashboard after publishing something, and I noticed that Itch had recommended this jam to me. I took a look and it sounded like fun, so I passed it on to Oxy and here we are. 

3.I’d say my biggest influences have been Cube Escape, Submachine, OFF, and the weird little narrative platformer games you’d find on game sites before the demise of Flash. They brought me into strange little worlds to tell a story, and its an experience I’d like to replicate. 

4.Most of my experience with digital game development has been from my courses, using programs such as Twine and Gamemaker with one Python CYOA game. Oxy’s latest platform of choice has been Gamemaker as well, so that’s likely what we’re going with. 

5. I love writing and especially worldbuilding; its fun to get to work on answering a question about a setting…and then another…and then another…until the entire thing has grown into a full-fledged project. 

6. Oxygentleman and I want to learn how to work together on games in preparation for a larger project of ours. That and I want to get better at making and realizing concepts on a shorter deadline.
