And I want to write it and I will. But for many of us sometimes is very difficult beat our own fears. But the satisfaction of finishing and seeing people playing it deserve it
I know that, I was just hoping that knowing someone wants to see it helps. (It does for me at least.)
I just wanted to say thanks for all of your encouraging words, Mara! They have helped to curb at least some of my anxiety and I really appreciate it! ![]()
(Goes for the rest of you lot, too - everyone is so nice what the heck.)
Now, quick ramble about writing (de)progress:
I realized during writing that the player character’s motivation didn’t make a lot of sense, so I threw out the entire first half of my plans and went back to the drawing board. Happy to report that I ended up with something I am much happier with, even though I need to rework the outline a lot to accomodate the changes. Oh, well! You win some, you lose some.
I’m pretty sure we’re all in the same boat, so it makes sense to me to be cheering each other on.
Yes, but still! Not every place is filled with nice people like this- I certainly don’t take it for granted, so I wanted to make extra mention of it! ![]()
People here is very nice. Am I very glad of having so many cool participants
Well, I think I’m gonna give it a go. It’s gonna be a small spin-off murder mystery mini-game of The Bureau! So it looks like @LiliArch and I are gonna be making similar styled games, and I’m very much looking forward to playing theirs!
I really think both of you after the jam could do a small easter egg referencing the other game or something fun kinda pun.
I always wanted to do a co authoring jam in pairs but I think people wouldnt want to be paired to write.
Yeah, that kind of requires a lot to work (and frighteningly reminds you of all the school group projects where you ended up doing all the work).
Good morning, gentlepeople! I hope we’re all having a good time working on this so far. I for one am thrilled to have started on the script proper and can’t wait to see what we’re all capable of.
I’ve done some planning progress at least, after getting stuck in pointless architecture research.
This may amuse you, but it seems I’m ending up doing a spin-off (of a spin-off of a spin-off) too. I wasn’t sure of the setting originally, but I’m going to need those respirators, so I decided that I don’t really need more post-apocalyptic settings. ![]()
There was a huge, glaring plothole in my outline, and I didn’t realize how extreme it was until mid-way through writing my current scene! I think I’ve found a way to fix the issue, but goodness, that would have been a disaster if I didn’t notice until later. Rewriting things now, for better or for worse!
A bit over 2000 words today! Feels nice!

More seriously, I am having a really hard time getting back into it.
I know the feeling. Like I should be doing this but something make very difficult keep the focus. Then come many doubts.
The thing is take some time off and return when you feel better
The grind is setting in… To see this project to fruition, I have to push through the less-than-fun feelings I’m having about the work I have to do!
Who knew writing different paths can get kind of repetitive!
I’m doing less writing that I’ve been wanting to, but something is something. I’ll get there, sentence by sentence.
From today’s writing:
(…) the fullness of her feminine figure (…)
This is the ultimate proof that I have no idea what I am doing.
Also that I like alliterations.
^ This part is mainly a joke.
The problem is more that I’m finding my writing lifeless and mechanical, and I’m not confident that I can manage to make it feel more engaging.
I’m just drawing facial structure diagrams with the help of some posing apps for artists, I’m way too rusty. ![]()
Your ability to author alliterations is almost assuredly awe-inspiring! (Couldn’t resist, sorry
)

I’m afraid the same paragraph also has this abomination:
a pleasant pastel pink
I finally managed to get the face of the woman I’m drawing to look right, but then I’ve redrawn her top like 10 times, and I’m still not happy with it.
