This game is about my expereince during the global pandemic as an
international student. It's a narrative piece and players can choose
their way of how to behave during the process. The results might be
different. I was trying to tell and let players know the hard time we
had gone through and now the situation is much better than before.
There are 30 HTMl pages in total with a CSS page. I first
used Otter.ai to record my thoughts into text. Then I used n+7 to edit
with the text I got from Otter. aiand this helped me to extend the
paragraph a little bit more. I tried to use charNG to make the
description of the pandemic a bit poetic but I finally decide to kee it
simple as it's much clearer for players to understand.
I found the Oblique Strategies cards very helpful while writing the
story since it always gave me inspirations, suggestions or sometimes a
solution of my problem. For example, I got "Decorate it" and this is a
solution while I got stuck with the story background. The Anagram
Generator also helped me with the word selection. It was a funny process
picking words in Anagram Generator and it seldom worked but I
accidentally got inspired by the weird words it produced and combined
some of them to the choices of the storyline.
