To Make a Game

Relatable and compelling, this game is a very inspiring reminder that sometimes it is better to put forth little than nothing at all. While being a short text-based narrative puzzle, I thoroughly enjoyed my time with it and will gladly return for further exploration!

代入感超级强的像素风电波游戏，从二周目起把名字改成I之后更身临其境了。 玩家和主角并不和谐的对话如同一个人的内心挣扎一般，让我想起自己无数个停留在弃婴阶段的灵感，灵感诞生时沾沾自喜，真的准备实现时又一拖再拖，拖到完全丧失兴趣时，就开始假惺惺地自我批判：“这个点子不怎么好/有人写过了/弄不出效果blabla下次想到更好的了再写再画吧！”。从来没遇到过这么能让我强烈共情的游戏，主角literally me又懒惰又不专注又眼高手低，说急眼了还会破防（瞪眼jumpscare真的吓我一跳），想着要搜啥啥教程结果打开b站就开始刷视频打开小红薯就开始看我船。 本来想写一个短评就拿起数位板的...又在这里写些流水账...！！

As a serial project dreamer who has barely started coding anything I actually want to make, I relate to this game hard.

Beat and 100% this all under an hour. Honestly did not expect that lmao, overall I really enjoyed this game and how it was structured to portray that perspective of procrastination. As some one who struggles with this almost daily, the ending struck me, especially the perspectives on how I view certain aspects of life. Gud game and worth the price on (sale or not) in my book, especially as an introduction to the basics of Visual Novels 15/10

他妈的世另我。。连用的视觉小说引擎都一样是Renpy。。。。。备忘录里写了很多自认精妙的点子但总因为难以取舍而停滞不前。。。这个游戏很巧妙的一点是它通过取“To Make a Game"这名儿将可能购买游戏的受众限制在了“对游戏开发感兴趣动过心思或者正在making a game” 的人里，而这群人很大概率就会和作者“空有想法，未曾实践”的经历起共鸣。我常在想，以文字记录的想法本身是否具有价值，但最后发现这是有点自我欺骗的成分在的。或许从构思一个想法到用文字或语言将这个想法完全地描述下来对于创作者本身而言的价值无与伦比，但如果没有观忠，听众，读者，除了创作者自己，又有谁能证明你的这些想法存在呢...?虽然这个游戏确如所言之”精简“，读完全部线路也只需要不到半小时，但的的确确有效地激励了这部分经常拖延或是无力将想法转换为某种媒介的创作者们。。骂作者懒的时候我感觉就是在骂自己。。。btw，瞪眼jump scare好评。。

Struck a nerve, didn't it?

Short, sweet, to the point. Struck a chord in me with my own struggles with scope creep, ideas, overwhelm, and focus. Thanks for the humility and vulnerability, Now I need to reflect one myself and my own "To Make A Game" struggle. Don't stop your efforts.

Es como verse al espejo, es una historia simple y directa que te habla acerca de la procrastinación, y de los problemas que conlleva ser una persona creativa. 10/10 Traumas existenciales de por vida y jumpscares, te hace reflexionar acerca de tu propia existencia Le doy más puntos porque la traducción es buenisima

I get it. 2meirl4meirl and all that but this is a glorified blog post. Reading someone complain about procrastination and fantasize about nonexistent games just isn't interesting here. 100% Completion time: 21 minutes 3/10

i love this game and showing it to my friends.
