For my final project, I wanted to create something that I would have fun viewing. I decided that this would involve copious amounts of cat gifs. So here goes my pitch. I want to make a text based game in twine that ultimately matches the player with their ideal cat gif. This is something that I would click on if Buzzfeed posted it. I was not satisfied with any twine games that i have played so far on the internet. Now i\I would not usually say that I could do better in a creative sense, but this once I would like to try and make a better twine game.
I want to focus on the format, layout, and colors of the game for the final project. I want to avoid any annoyances that I experienced in the playing of mine and my classmates games in class. I want to experiment with the different format styles, since I might try to use a different display style. I think it would be interesting to not have the previous text disappear, but display a history and the possibility of changing selections without starting over.
I would also like to try using a variable. I have seen variables used in twine games to give information about the story so far. One game I played was a cat petting simulator that allows you to execute different ways to pet the cat and gives you the cats respective reactions.
My goal for this project is to enjoy the final product, and maybe be proud enough to send it to my friends for their cat viewing pleasure. It might also take another direction entirely since I am so fickle with projects of this nature.
Here is the cat petting simulator if you are interested. https://neongrey.itch.io/pet-that-cat
