I Decided

I Decided is a visual novel(la) made using Ren'Py.  Its content and structure were created to explore the theme "Joined Together" for GMTK Game Jam 2021.

In-game:
- click or Space to advance
- up/down arrows + Enter to select choice/menu options

Recommend playing in fullscreen if playing in browser, for easier reading

I found a distraction.  I made a resolution.  I adjusted my expectations.
Didn't I?

This is also my very first game and/or visual novel.  All art, writing, and coding (within Ren'Py's framework of course) was done by me.

(Intended to include music and customize the menu, but didn't get to those during the jam! May be a future post-jam update.)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Post-jam plans - I intend to make an update in a timeframe that works with my schedule of life* to include:

• Background music (didn't make the jam cutoff)
• Customized interface (didn't make the jam cutoff)
• Missing background art (didn't make the jam cutoff)
• Slight cleanup of existing art to incorporate lessons learned while making its initial version, but without changing its style
• Ensure accessibility options are all set up
• Include voiced lines, set to off by default (intended experience)
• Ensure mobile-friendly is set up

* I was originally intending to land this in late July 2021.  However, life and work then went a little berserk on me, and I need to recover from a bit of burnout instead.  Therefore, the update will come out when I'm able to work it out in the life/work/health/hobby balance.
