Update V1.2

First actual update to my first published game! I have only been introduced to 'empathy games' or 'serious games' recently, and I love the idea of creating a game (or interactive story as of right now) that has real gravitas.

Two main things I worked on for version 2 of TVIYH: the composition, and the purpose.

Opening my Ableton project, and listening to my loops for the first time in two weeks, I found that they were so simple, almost thin sounding. I wanted to make this work something you feel properly immersed in (albeit, maybe better in another new update). Extra evolving MIDI layers with random aspects I felt made them feel slightly more immersive, although I wish I spent more time on this. If I am able to extend this story, I would absolutely love to lengthen the loops to more than 8 bars.

From my previous version, I had only dipped my toes into the world of empathy games. It was my first time using Twine software, and my first time making any sort of playable 'game', (unless you include a Pygame from my highschool HSC that received such a low mark I had to resubmit haha). Considering this though, I don't feel like I did too bad. Developing the text and story was really interesting to me; I feel like I can make something quite powerful if I continue down this road.

Maybe I could make an actual change in more than this little interactive story. That's the dream, I think.
