I already had an idea about making a game similar to Bandersnatch or The Truman Show where the protagonist character discovers that they are a character in a video game.
Honing in on the conversational aspect helped me to flesh out Alex’s and the narrator’s character while making their responses to each other and your choices more authentic.
Backups
The biggest takeaway I had from this project was how important constantly saving your work and having a system of backups in place.
The night before the deadline
I lost almost all my work; the only thing I had was a Javascript file of an earlier exported version of the game.
Luckily, I was able to comb through the file and recover sections of my writing piece by piece and recreate my game.
