Dear Diary, I’m beginning to understand that my dreams of creating my own game have moved further away from me. I started with a very simple concept—one I could have implemented in just a few days if I really tried and if there was electricity. However, every time I sit down to work on it, or even just think about it, the lore keeps expanding, and I end up with more questions, more possible answers—but not a single definite one. It feels like putting together a puzzle: I’ve completed a small piece, and around it there’s a mass of details that still need to be assembled.
I need some kind of solid plan. By my birthday, I will definitely write the foundation—overall, it’s the most important part, the one that contains the basic mechanics. Well, I have five months for this, so I’m confident I can do it. I could probably do it earlier, but my studies are starting soon. And yes, this semester will include new subjects and new knowledge, and some of those disciplines might be especially useful to me. Also, I won’t do it earlier because I might just burn out completely and give up on everything. Damn.
Since I want this to be more than just a silly little thing to kill time (even though it will be that too, but that’s not the point—I like putting meaning into things even if no one notices it), I’ll start learning more and, essentially, studying art itself.
Overall, I really need to stop being an uneducated idiot. Seriously.
The only thing I know for sure is this: there will be a squirrel and a bunny as a couple. I’m honestly obsessed with this idea, and I don’t care how I implement it, but it has to fit into the lore somehow. I could say that I disapprove of memes and references to politicians, but in this case it’s just an Easter egg and a joke - nothing more.
