a huge benefit to being an educator now instead of a programmer is that i never have to do a live coding interview ever again

I need Android users to help test 'are we good? ๐Ÿ™ˆ' so I can get it approved for a public beta on Google Play!

Please DM me your email address if you're interested :)

(I also have an iOS & Windows build... ๐Ÿ‘€)

well, i gotta pick a genre on Itch LOL. which is really more of a marketing question that a scholarly design one

I think the distinction of how heavy the puzzle solving & exploration is makes a big difference! my game is much more like the latter

also i havenโ€™t played Hooked, Iโ€™ll have to check that out!

the more iโ€™ve discussed this the more blurry the lines seems to me. but i agree, the images donโ€™t really drive my game which makes it seem not like a VN to me

I'm sooooooo close to being done with this indie game I've been working on since 2019. It's about helping your weird suspicious internet bff solve a boyband mystery
