Experimental Idea: Motion Comic? Game? You tell me!
Added 2021-08-22 22:21:18 +0000 UTCOK, first off, attached to this post is a test "game" made in the Renpy (https://www.renpy.org/) engine by our own Solstice.
***GENERAL DISCLAIMER***
The attached file is only a test. You do NOT need to download it if you don't want to. It's a very short motion comic example of something Solstice and I have been talking about. It should just "work" in Windows 10 (if you are running that) but I can't vouch for it running under anything else. I tested it myself so take that for what you will.
An idea for the future
This is something I was wondering if people might enjoy. Some kind of interactive Growth Lab Game or Comic. Sound interesting? Maybe it's something to think about going forward.
At the moment there are no definite plans to make this happen but I figured a few of you might enjoy the idea or want to weigh in on the thought of doing more stuff like this.
At any rate - enjoy and download if you like. No worries if not!

That's a great question and there has been discussion of some sort of "chose your own growth" and "chose how much of it". Right now, there are no solid plans for anything. The polls were mostly about gauging interest and seeing what people might think. Love the suggestions from everyone! Thank you!

2021-08-28 16:41:38 +0000 UTCI am very interested in the idea. Admittedly, I was hoping for more than a visual novel, but I did expect that it would be the case. I am probably super spoiled due to MagnusMagneto's FMG Life Sim game, but that is a huge commitment that they made. Game development is no joke. I do have to ask though. Will we be able to select how they grow, and how much they grow?

2021-08-25 03:03:48 +0000 UTCOh wow! That's super neat. A GLab "visual novel" game would be an awesome idea. Getting all of the branching paths and all that would be a lot effort, but well worth it

2021-08-23 13:19:53 +0000 UTCTotally agree! I think it has a LOT of promise. Now I'm trying to look at the actual production work needed (as you mention). Seriously though, I love the possibilities!

2021-08-23 09:38:57 +0000 UTCThis has a lotta promise! A LOT! I mean it. Adding in SFX, dymanic panel sections with some motion, this could change the game homie! But that's also a lotta work haha. This is good looking!
