  I'm now at the end of Act 1. Edda has managed to get back into her own hut and see if she can understand what this strange man's deal is. I've done a lot of graphical work this week, including redesig... Continue reading

  State of the Game: Developer Q&A 1. How far along is the game? In terms of actual functioning rooms and puzzles, there's still a way to go. But I’ve nailed down the user interface, the graphical sty... Continue reading

  I've been frustrated by the art in my games to date, using assets to cover the parts I couldn't do. I'm now OK with what I *can* do, even though it's not brilliant, it is my own work and that makes it... Continue reading

  This week was spent talking to myself. I did work very hard on a sneaking section of the game, but I suddenly had this lack of motivation. It occurred to me that the sneaking part was just not interes... Continue reading

  I have had a week of manic creativity. Apart from one day where I stupidly thought I could draw - and wasted the entire evening trying to draw an alleyway - I have been just throwing in characters and... Continue reading

  A really satisfying week of refining the opening puzzle and dialogue scenes. I've played the opening a few times now - it looks terrible, but it's playing well. I've found a good style for the game: t... Continue reading

  I think I said that everything is now joined-up, even if many of the areas are crude black and white sketches. It's definitely helped me realise where there are issues however. My dislike of too much... Continue reading

  I wonder if I will be making this for the rest of my life? I would quite like to move on to something else at some point, yet this game is miles away from completion. However, it does have a full plot... Continue reading

  Map I decided I wanted an overhead map for Edda to navigate. I love a map. It gives you a sense of the world. I realise you could have drawn your own of course. Everything you need to do in the game i... Continue reading

  I've done a lot of art for scenes this week. I also have been trying to code the opening to give information, be interactive and be interesting. It's not really quite there, but each iteration of thes... Continue reading

  Had a bizarre week with health issues and then child drama tonight. Texting Any chance to write a proper update has been ruined, so I am just doing it quickly on my phone - and I *hate* typing on phon... Continue reading

  Entrance, Crossroads, Webs, Bridge I have joined up the first four "rooms" now. There is almost full functionality in the first two - both puzzles and cut scenes - then the next two I spent a while ju... Continue reading

  "Crossroads" This week was spent mostly on the crossroads scene. I call it the crossroads because the screen was a crossroads for a long time. So even though the art has changed and it looks nothing l... Continue reading

  My project plan helped me get past a very frustrating time. I've moved onto just working on the game in chronological order now. It's unpolished, but the first two rooms and the first puzzle work well... Continue reading

  Week 2 (give or take 11 months) I am one week into my latest attempt at completing the Edda project. There have been a couple of false starts, mostly due to me not having a good enough idea, then not... Continue reading
