Beginnings

It's time I finally got around to starting on the path to being a game dev by actually making some games. I mean it's only taken me about 2 years to finally get around to doing something productive in this direction rather than just doodling and claiming it's useful work. So yeah, I'm going to use a neat piece of software called Twine to make a choose your own adventure game. It is going to be a simple game of course but it's the first time I'm releasing anything that is in reference to a larger project I'm building up to (to be revealed!) It's also going to be the first proper game thing I've done, apart from one piece of uni groupwork, and while it certainly wont be fancy it'll be a start.

A quick note about Twine. It's a super simple, really refined piece of software that is pretty much just good for branching stories. It's perfect at that though and I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to make a story or two to share. Just add boxes, input text and a couple of [[]] and BAM! Text adventures HO!
