i’ve always wanted to learn how people code and make choice of games games. i’ve tried, but it always falls through. i even tried ren’py or whatever a couple years back but that too didn’t work out.
i’m autistic and anxious (not the best mix as the latter makes the former worse) and the problem is that i cannot look or read long pieces of text bunched together at a time, much less organise them, which is basically what the good choicescript is in these games…
i’ve thought about doing one for years; downloaded the stuff, read a bit of the “how this choice works”…
…but when i get to the actual, you know, writing, i have a plan in my head and all that and i start but… as soon as it gets complex or a little over basic choices (even choices that add stats or start flags seem really hard to me), it becomes like a mountain and i get… i suppose you use “overstimulated”? i even get a bit weirded out looking at the number of files in the zip! but i can take that at least.
i’ve gotten by writing things as big as this because i copypaste from other docs but when you’re looking through code or writing it it’s inevitable so… yeah. askin for a coder is not allowed on this site and i doubt there is a different way to write code, because code is code.
i was wondering if there was ever a solution or workaround or somethin to alleviate this? anyone else got a similar problem? im not the most experienced person, as i bet you can guess…
