#game progress #minigames
After the ups and downs of the demo release, I’m finally getting back into the swing of things. I was going through the first few chapters the other day and I thought I’d write up a little post about some of the minigames I've already made. ^^
[Why minigames?]
Mostly for practical reasons. My game doesn’t have a narrator so the story progresses mainly through dialogue and visuals. I figured minigames might serve a narrative purpose as well.
That is to say, I definitely don’t want them to be overly challenging or frustrating to deal with. I realize a lot of people pick up visual novels for the story and not complicated mechanics. However, I do think a bit of interactivity goes a long way so I’m planning to include a few simple minigames to enrich the gameplay.
Here are examples of what I already have:
These are obviously not polished (most of them don’t even have proper buttons yet), but the general concepts will probably not change.
Feel free to tell me what you think. ^^
