Paths was the prompt for this week’s prototypes. I immediately thought of the (quite depressing) fact that whatever paths we take and decisions we make, we’ll all end up dead at some point (insert happy thoughts here).

So i made my first CYOA.

I figured this would happen, but on Sunday night, when I had twelve hours left and still a huge amount of script yet to be written, i cut it down in half. There were just too many paths and choices to create, and i was out of time. For the sake of it being a prototype, i think it works. Wish i’d had time to implement sound, i had the perfect soundtrack for that.

On a sidenote, Anno 2070 was just released, and it’s better than all the previous games in the series (and that’s saying something). However, i haven’t seen Ubisoft talk about it anywhere, not on their twitter feed, not on their website. I only learned the game was out because Steam showed it to me. Isn’t that crazy ?
