I'm super impressed, Miles! Thank you!

I really enjoyed playing through again (on release, and again today). I described the writing style today as "pithy and succinct", and it made me look up James Ellroy's writing because it felt somewhat reminiscent. The character art and backgrounds are gorgeous and suit the story in a way I can't quite describe. I really liked the jewellery and other accessories the kaiju are wearing. Looking forward to seeing more!

That's a very satisfying game.

Hi all! I'm anstia, I'm planning to make a VN called "The Desert of Old Kesh". Set in the world created by Dancer (https://twitter.com/algo_anthill), my partner, the game is intertwines a story about a couple of the gods of Ancient Egypt, and a couple of kami of Shinto background. Which story, gods, and kami? ~ More research required!

Days 1 and 2 of 14

So, I'm up at 3:45am, working on this log for the game. Getting up early, not staying up late, for a change. :)

Game Engine

The "Argus Storytelling Engine" is the one I'll be using - an as-yet unreleased engine, also created by Dancer, and used with permission. He's currently writing up docs for me, so that I can use the engine.

The Plan

Write some backstory for a simple, single-perspective, choice-based game. (The Argus engine allows for multiple perspectives, but as this is my first game, I'm trying to simplify things a bit). My current idea is to write a story that has a modern-day expected ending, an ancient expected ending, and my own, hopefully less-expected, ending.

I'll more than likely rely on creative-commons-licensed material for my backgrounds, portraits, music, and sounds.
