Alright! Well glad to hear I helped you get back to coding! I get tons of ideas for things like that- I am a very literary focused person- and I must say, it feels nice to voice some of the ideas I have. Twine is very simple, when you first open a text box, it shows some basic commands, I am not very well versed in it myself, but generally you first have your main text, the you do [[Choice/continue/this is what the player sees to click on->result/next box/the name of this is the name of the box this takes you to]] so basically, you have what the player sees to click on, the it has the arrow, ->, to take you to what the box will be named, and you of course can have multiple options. I think that since I can't really do much coding, whatever game you decide upon, we can share a google doc, and I type down all of the info to insert for the Twinery? Like, paragraphs, choices, and whatever else you might need.
Ren faire? Renaissance fair? I mostly do fantasy ideas, but from this game I thought it would be better to suggest modern stuff! I don't really like changing out humans to animals, but I suppose I always can. And for time travel? It interests me, but no haven't done hat yet. But I can write a story for pretty much anything, just need a premise and to know what you want roughly. Also, something to note, I only write PG stuff, not even any cursing. Just if you were curious.
I was just about to ask you the same thing! What have you been itching to start or try? I'm open to anything, as I get inspiration from others and it usually sparks ideas.
One I've been wanting to try (eventually) is something along the line of "questionable life choices". Humans spend an enormous amount of time and energy ruminating back and wondering about the paths in life they did NOT take rather than appreciating and working with the one they did take. I'd like to run with that psychology a bit and make a series about those hard life choices, the difficult forks in the road that change the course of our lives forever.
"Make easy choices, you'll lead a tough life. Make the tough choices, You'll lead an easy life."
I'm not sure this is something you'd be interested in, as I'm not 100% all of it could be kept PG, but I'm sure a great portion of it would. I like to keep almost all my stuff clean (or as clean as possible), as it's better for a wider audience and being shared.
Well, there is one I love! It comes with the problem that I need someone to code graphic art into the game, and then have the text at the bottom, if you could intertwine my twine with my images, that would be great! It will have 2-4 parts, not sure yet! I can expand a lot, but I finished outlining the story in my head, you know, telling it to myself as I walk around. Well anyways, it is about a boy who lives on a farm, and then one night his mom died giving birth to his little brother (About 1400s A.D., alternate world though, more fantasy than historical.) and afterwards his father loses his arm, and he goes to the doctor. They can't afford the bill, but if the doctor is allowed to test treatments on them, they get the equivalent to 3 months taxes. The boy (14) realizes he will have to work the farm, as his father is weakened temporarily from the tests, and s watching his brother. So he has to provide for the family, and eventually later on, an army comes through, and they leave some wounded soldiers there to recover, and the army moves on. The boy offers them lodging, but the soldiers share a secret that ends them up in a mountain settlement, where a small society is exploring an ancient ruins, and he finds something there that could change the world. That is a summarization of part one of the story. I will have some small choices in the story, but it will all lead to the same endings and such, or some will lead to soon coming death.
