Celebrating the Little Things: A Chaos Adventure
About
Celebrating the Little Things is a short glimpse into an hour of Storm's life. In that hour, the player is able to read his texts, see his image gallery, and complain about their coffee. Based on the chaotic moments of our lives. How fleeting they are, how confusing but in some way they can be beautiful in their own way.
BTW, it's PG-13: While most of the game is okay, there are parts with sexual references, mentions of family problems, grief, loss, anxiety and inebriation. Also this game is made to be slightly unsettling.
[NaNoReNo 2023 Experience] I utilized this game jam to learn about RenPy, really dig into the docs. So I got to know about screens, functions, RNG, UI and ATL.... and got a little bit carried away. But with so little time, I couldn't make all the content to inhabit those empty UI... I realized this while making the 'chat' area. It's very noticeable, how I 'stopped' progress there. I wanted to shred the project then but felt like effort wasted, a whole week scrapped. So I decided to 'finish' it despite it being still raw at the center. Still, this was a learning experience. If there's insights I could take from this, it's to slow down, take things simple, and PLAN. But still, I hope you enjoy what's set up, so far.
