Last week I started making a game every day—working to get some practice and experiment with different kinds of ideas. So far I've made three games in three days.
Then on Saturday morning I bit off a bit more than I could chew—but decided to run with the ida anyway. I probably won't have time to finish until early next week, but I thought I'd post my progress so far!
Riffing off of old point and click adventure games I loved as a kid. Keeping the slightly creepy vibes alive.
This morning I finished all of the basic functionality I will need to complete the game.
^ Rooms are navigable.
^ Each room has its own hotspots that respond differently depending on what item you are using—everything has a description for when you look at it, or touch it, or hold a torch to it.
^ Triggers are implemented—allowing me to do things like open a door when certain conditions are met
Nothing crazy—basic point and click adventure stuff. But it's my first time, so I am happy :)
I've spend about six hours setting everything—I'm estimating another four hours or so to finish out the rest of the rooms.

Total work time added up to about 12 hours over the past week. Great project to practice on!
Go check it out!
