    Let’s not get too big for our britches. Maybe with with a screen-writer to get something started and see how it goes. I don’t know that there’s much crossover potential, the game being as open play style as it is, and a movie being a directed narrative, I’m not sure the two harmonize

      That’s generally been the case for most open choice games to movies. Unless there’s a solid story in the game that you can write a backstory to or fill in some gaps with a detailed movie I don’t see how it would work.

        He’s written a lot of fan fic style stuff that’s present in the library as I’m sure you’ve seen. It’s a good light read within the context of the game, but yeah. I don’t think it’s enough to carry a movie.

        Edit: I’ve removed myself from almost all media besides lemmy, do we have an eta on the haunted chocolatier game? Just wondering. I want him to develop it on his own timeline so we get something he’s proud of.

        Edit 2: Just saw that there’s no release date so he can work in peace without all the deadline pressure. I’m glad he’s setting boundaries. I feel like we’ll get a better game in the long run because of it.

      A slice of life story about a young protagonist that leaves home and finds themselves in an unknown town off the beaten path, resorting to a menial labor job to get by day-to-day while simultaneously working towards a larger goal that was beset upon them after the loss of a family member, occasionally dipping their toes in adventure between the 9-5 grind, all the while making friends and gaining the trust of the colorful and distinct locals and interacting with mysterious yet cutesy, unknowable spirit-like creatures?

      Pop quiz, did I just describe Stardew valley, or Studio Guibli’s Spirited Away? I think there’s a little crossover lol
