I wish you'd actually talk about what's going on in your posts. Three months of posts in and I still have no idea what this project is, what kind of work you're doing and what kind of work needs to be done, or what any of these images mean. I can't even tell if I'm looking at screenshots from some game engine, a custom engine, a story editor, or what. Makes it hard to get interested in the project!

It started as a way to keep up with the artist working on some initial art but morphed into a tracker.

The gamedev right now is just story-text being put into an editor so it's not very interesting unless your working on the project. But I will see what I can do to expand the progress text to make it more fun to read.

Let's get some more info into this one. Expanded the editor to have a better preview-style. So when showing off the game in the editor it's not a total mess. Still a huge mess.

Cleaning code so twine-stats are shrinking.

A look inside the gamelogic. The code is written in twine.

To help identify dead ends in the story I added a much needed 'dead end'-icon.

Progress. Wiring up more game-logic and adding main dialog.

Trying out my own editor. Twine is a bit slow.

More fun with the new editor. Clean up next.
