Halfway through – Project: Ad Hoc Novel

I’m halfway through the game’s development and i just realized that i’m violating the rules of the 48hrs competition, so i have to enter the 72hrs one, but that’s okay: more time, more quality work :)

About my game: Without many spoilers i want to give you the basic idea, what you have to do in my game:

  • The world is in so much rush, the people don’t have time to read books longer than 10 seconds. You are a newbie book-writer. You have to prove your skills in 10 days to the world. (You have more than 10s to write the books, don’t worry)
  • The game randomizes a story for the player using the selected inputs
  • The player can write their own stuff into the missing fields using their keyboards
  • They can read the whole ~10 second long story at the end of the day as well as giving them a title and an author

This is what i have so far, i still need to put some way to score the books and give points to the player.

After 2-3 hours of development

 

Currently the game’s look

 

I don’t want to show the rest of the game yet, maybe in the next post ;)
