4:51pm - It's day two, somehow already four fifty-one, and I still haven't decided what sort of Adventure Game I want to make.
Part of the problem is that while ramping up for the Jam I was thinking a lot about how I wanted to make the mechanics of a Point and Click adventure game without seriously thinking about what sort of story or setting I wanted. Unlike the jam games I've made before, I can't just slap together a bunch of basic mechanics and have a game.
When I think about making a point and click adventure game, really I want someone else to do the writing and art. I even know who! LOL But those jobs could be filled by a bunch of people, if I'm being honest.
Still, I should be able to come up with a good story for the player to go through. I'm not sure why I'm struggling with it so much.
7:04pm - Through a couple of breaks and a lot of work I've come up with a story and setting!
It's going to take place beneath Antarctica, where a group of posthumans and postfurries have gathered in an underground base to build an inflatable rocket launch platform and rocket, to escape the earth where their kind is unwelcome, to go to a space station where they are welcome.
That's just the setting and background, though. The story is about one of the characters being put on trial for some reason, and someone else tries to put the law in their own hands.
10:12pm - Geez, I had dinner and now it's past ten. Anyways...
I'm thinking the protagonist will be one of the people in the courtroom when the other person attacks. Maybe in the gallery, maybe in the jury.
The other person is mad and armed with an industrial drill.
I'm thinking the person on trial was accused of sending private data to the outside world without permission, and the attacker is upset that they're holding a trial at all instead of just punishing them. So the attacker is trying to take the plaintiff away to do nasty things to them, and the player is there when it happens.
What happens next? I'm not sure. And before!
Let's see... I'm thinking I'll start the game by having the player wake up from their sleep cycle. They go about their morning routine, which should be brief and introduce the player to the controls. Their calendar reminds them that they have jury duty starting today, and they're expected to be at court at a certain time.
The player goes to court, which introduces them to the setting and some characters. It's a town built around the interior of a large, open shaft with a dome on top, in Antarctica. Some of the tunneling equipment is still in place at the bottom of the shaft.
One place I want to include is "The Screw Hole" an adult club. I won't make it too saucy since I want the game to be sufficiently safe.
11:08pm - Alright it's late, sort of, and I'm tired, so I'm gonna wrap this up and think about it more while I rest.
