We did a game in Twine too.\rFelt just a little too linear for me, but the choices suited the story well, so it was okay.\rI think a lot of readers will only play through once, so you may want to make the hook a little more obvious in all of your branches. That would probably help people come back to make different choices as well."},{"author_name":"Victory Garden","author_uid":"22357","time":"Dec 15, 2014 @ 12:34am","epoch":1418603340,"text":"Bah, we need a writing category for situations like these... you did a good job of breaking up your story into bites, but feeling like the beginning--before I understand what I am and what I'm doing--is non-linear, and after I understand my character, it's linear, is a bit frustrating. Choices are great but an informed choice is even better. You don't have to give the whole reveal, but before we know anything our choices become effectively random.\r\rThis is a nice little slice of story. I got the dandelion ending--cute :] Thank you for the game!"},{"author_name":"janovbyrnisson","author_uid":"43705","time":"Dec 16, 2014 @ 6:08am","epoch":1418709780,"text":"I like text adventure games, well made story, Good job! :)"}],"images":["ld31\/47469-e76485573b3c071a2ded2a3c59970cdb.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/dl.dropboxusercontent.com\/u\/36751702\/lightinthedark.html","text":"Web"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"14043","g_author":"47469","g_event":"LD31","g_eventkey":"26","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"14073","g_title":"Light in the Dark","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"884","g_commentcount":"17","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/407933\/47469-shot0.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"This is my first game and my first Ludum Dare.
