Is the character only dreaming everything? The game seems simple at first, but the title and all of the little hints add a lot more depth, despite the game's length."},{"author_name":"Breakdance McFunkypants","author_uid":"2297","time":"Jun 30, 2011 @ 3:23am","epoch":1309403880,"text":"Really great!

I kept cutting out additional endings and ideas I had for more scenes\/routes. As for if the character is dreaming or not, just look up what &quot;Eidolon&quot; means and it should be pretty obvious what he\/she is. :)\r<br\/>\r<br\/>@Breakdance McFunkypants: Thanks! I actually had a bunch of clients in mind, but ended up cutting them out since I didn't have time to add them in. &gt;_&lt;"}],"images":["mini27\/4695-cdb2c2f537287e5af305aef7e46a898e.jpg","mini27\/4695-e0e2b76e7091783e61c097d18c3c1378.jpg","mini27\/4695-fab56e0d13eac99687112de09aac7979.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/www.reltair.com\/games\/Project Eidolon-win32.zip","text":"Windows"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.reltair.com\/games\/Project Eidolon-mac.zip","text":"OS\/X"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.reltair.com\/games\/Project Eidolon-linux-x86.tar.bz2","text":"Linux"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"35027","g_author":"4695","g_event":"MINI27","g_eventkey":"52","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"36818","g_title":"Project Eidolon","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"99999","g_commentcount":"4","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\/\/55414\/4695-shot0.jpg-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/55414\/4695-shot1.jpg-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/55414\/4695-shot2.jpg-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"I've always wanted to participate in either a LD or MiniLD as well as trying out the Ren'Py visual novel engine, so this was a perfect opportunity to do so.\r\n\r\nI picked out some resources to use at the English-Language Visual Novel Community Wiki and crafted a short VN based on what I found. The game demonstrates most of the basic functionality that Ren'Py has to offer and should be easy to play through.\r\n\r\nIt was a fun and educational experience playing around with making this game, although I had to change\/cut out many of my ideas due to lack of time.
