Just a quick dev blog this month to say that I'm making progress on the game.

Foolish Earth Creatures is a duel between the hero and the villain, but they aren't the only people in the story. As I've been filling in my placeholder structure with first draft text this month I've been fleshing out some secondary characters.

As you probably know if you follow my dev diaries, I write my games in Twine, which is a system for making choice-based stories that run in a web browser. Twine has a visual editor where the story is represented with boxes linked by arrows.

But actually, I haven't used the Twine program itself for years. For all my games since They Will Not Return—including Beyond the Chiron Gate—I've used Tweego.

I've made some progress on Foolish Earth Creatures this month. I've got what I think is a pretty solid outline, and I've written first draft versions of several sections. I've also got a clearer idea of who the player character is.

This is the first dev blog for my new interactive fiction project, Foolish Earth Creatures: You Cannot Defeat ME!.

In contrast to the hard-sf tone of Chiron Gate and Seedship, Foolish Earth Creatures will be some pulp sci-fi nonsense.
