Sam is a 10 years old playing a game of chess with her sister. But it's getting quite boring, and he can feel himself letting his imagination wander, wherever it might take him.
My original idea for this jam was to make an open-world, realtime, dating-sim chess. At first the project was going alright, but towards sunday I started entertaining the idea of having a little bit of narrative, and jumped into a full day of dialogue and level system programming, with meant I had to cut out in some of the open-wordly and real-timey mechanics, visuals and even sound, leaving me with a blander version of what I had planned.
Still happy, the jam was still worth it, and a new lesson learned from my first narrative driven game: *Do not ever underestimate dialogue writing.*
