i havent started any work in decker yet, but i have started writing out stuff in my sketchbook

gonna spend the evening working on writing a bunch more, dont have too much right now

some concept art of the main character, very loose outline of what i want to do

there's a part of me that's worried that my writing will be rough and bad since i don't really have much of any experience writing but i'm not gonna let that stop myself

Looks so cool so far! Im actually. uh. Kind of already almost done with mine lmao (stuck at home with chronic illness atm so not much else to do :P) Here are some cards from it. It’s called “I Always Dream of Falling.”

the edits were me trying to fix the images being skewed omg

Still early days for me. I've got a plot structure for what scenes/choices I want, and I've started on some character art, but writing is still pretty early and I haven't done any backgrounds yet. Plenty of time left, hopefully on the weekend I'll be able to get some stuff done though.

Anyway, here's the character portrait for my protagonist

Hehehe this is my first game jam, and my first time using Decker! I love learning new coding languages and pieces of software, so I've basically been spending all my time messing with Lil and dialogizer. Wrote up a text formatter script that will take the stuff from the first text field and turn it into the second field (character name with proper font, and a command for changing the text sounds and such). Not sure how necessary this all is, but it was fun to make hehe. At the very least, it lets me change up the fonts of the dialog whenever I want without needing to go back and edit lots of dialog.

With this is place, I'm starting to write up dialog for this game! Hopefully I'll get some character sprites in soon as well so I can properly test out puppeteer and such.

(PS, I love how artistic everyone's games look so far!!)

a simple screenshot of one of my characters (belah!) talking to the protagonist before she's sent off to explore the room. my irl bestie had to remind me to record what i intend to do....... the reminder was very needed. i often just jump in and rely on my own memory (Not A Good Idea!!!)

though it just has the wip filename right now, the title is "the end is yours"

(sidenote i am trying so hard to add this image Please be kind to me internet)

Hi didn't find this topic until now. A few days ago I made Ross. He's like my son please be nice to him. The whole scene with him is done, it didn't take too long. I love him.

I've also made a map where you click on different areas and it takes you there, and you talk to a guy and it'll be fun, I actually really want feedback on it, it feels kind of overwhelming and maybe there's something that could be done better? The areas you click on are not implemented yet besides one where I still need to add the dialog. I haven't been very productive compared most other projects I do.

Also everyone's projects look really good so far. Someone mentioned submitting another game and I didn't know that was a thing so from the beginning I've planned a single large one that would take advantage of the long deadline and I'm not changing that plan now. 

was able to get about a page of writing done after work today, whether the writing is good or not.... well, what's important is that i at leasr have something written and i'll work on that from there

i feel silly posting text only updates... but soon ill get some decker screenshots in here !!

meow meow

when the jam started i made a bit of progress on one idea i had, a sort of serious and personal story, but after a few days of not really touching it i realized i didn't actually like the idea very much (or at least, the idea of actually having to write it, haha) so yesterday i decided to just throw out what tiny amount of progress i had and instead start over with a much more lighthearted idea. that idea being that there is no idea and i'm just making it all up as i go along depending on whatever i feel like drawing whenever i reach the next card. which is proving to be infinitely more engaging for me to work on so i have a good feeling about it haha

• decided not to stress about deadline, if i don't finish i don't finish but it motivated me to start which is enough! this jam motivated me to start TWO whole decker visual novels which is rly good for me! so i decided to take it easy, it's ok if i don't work on it everyday 
• picked color palette but still depended on only two main colors (sob) and am not used to using more than one color. maybe for future cards
• this is going to be (designed with the idea/intention of being a short prosaic nsfw game but might become a larger project than that...already thinking about using the chat contraption...
• this is the first work i've done w/ my duelists who are butch x butch sword lesbians
• didn't do much today (yet)? but not sure if i'll stop here for the day or not! not rushing myself though, and there's still smth like 20 days left, so who knows

Hey. I haven't 'officially' joined the jam, but I've been following for the past few days now and started work on the story and some cards yesterday.

It's my first time using Decker so nothing will be too spectacular from me- never minding the creative block that's followed me since the start of the year, lol. I'm just kinda vibing as I go. We'll see if I'm able to finish in time to submit!

Hiii, I have made quite some progress today. I drew sprites for two whole characters, and a backdrop (very wip still) of a café. I think a good chunk of the game will take place there (not sure yet, I haven't done much planning, I'm going with the flow here...) 

I also wrote some dialogs and scripts for a little scene! it was supposedly just an excuse to see if everything was working well together (puppeteer and dialogizer etc.), but i think it will end up in the final project. Meet Saya! she's your crush :)

My idea for the jam revolves around some old characters of mine that I've always wanted to make a game for. Since their designs are already monochromatic, I felt they fit the aesthetics of Decker quite nicely! Been working on character sprites, and I really like how they came out. Because I can't control myself and like a good coding challenge, these are all "fancy" puppets.

(tldr on the story. the witch, hyperion, is trying to exorcise/bargain with/study a demon that's possessing a priest. somewhat scary premise, but i plan on it being fairly comedic hehe)

I've only made a little more, worried about it not being a visual novel enough. The UI looks more like a point and click, and there should probably be more text. I'll see if I can find a solution. 

Here's Eddy Retro, he's kind of an ass.

the spring allergies really killed my momentum on writing

but thankfully, i think the worst has past? hoping to get a finished first draft before the end of the week, abwehhh
