We wanted to craft a story driven game, where your choices mechanically impact you character's state of mind.

Our goal for this jam relase:

• To test if the metrics of these mechanics have to be shown to the player (something like mass effect or the telltale series).  We tried not showing any.
• To get some knowledge on programming (first time for all of us).
• To get the handle on Godot.

What went well:

• We managed to get the game to run on Android devices, which was the biggest challenge.
• The story branches according to the mechanics. There are already some subtleties on the informations we give to the player, according to his actions.
• We all learned something from this experience.
• As french people,  publishing the game in both french and english was a big step for us.
• Most of all, we enjoyed ourselves. It's fun making games with friends.

What could have gone better:

• We didn't sleep much.
• We tried to make it too big. Half of the script was not put into the game.
• The text is sometimes hard to read: In Pre-Production, we did not realize that some visuals would make the text hard to read.
• We have planned it too big. Half of the scenario was not put into the game.

What's next?

1rst step (upcoming days):

• The story we want to tell has to be improved. 
• Core concepts have to be refined. Depending on our feedbacks, we may make them more visual to the player.
• Now that we know a little more about GODOT and programming, we should try to rebuild the game from the ground up.
• Refine the art

2nd step (ending with quarantine):

• Expend the story and branches until it reaches a satisfactory lenghs and feel (about 15- 20 minutes)
• polish it as hell

3rd step (if we keep our motivation running this summer):

• Make a full game, story out of it? We don't really know yet.
