Whimfu1 here.
Mostly coding stuff this week so nothing sexy to show. Anyways, here's a minigame I struggled with for a while. It’s a bit hard to tell but the basic premise is that it’s a word scramble puzzle. You click and drag the letters into the correct box before time runs out to spell a word described by a hint. The current plan is to have the book in Lincoln’s room be how you unlock new spells. For the first level it would be to study the book three times then have a choice of different puzzles to unlock a spell associated with it in the shop.
There’s a chance of failing which I’m still on the fence on. I’m debating whether to make the lust drain, eventually killing the player, an actual mechanic or only a narrative device. I do like games with a bit more interactivity however I worry I may be trying to shove in too many pointless actions for my own sake. This minigame may be a bit too cumbersome compared to the other games I have planned, however I believe it makes Lincoln feel as studious as the in-game dialogue suggests. I may scale this back depending on people’s reaction to v0.02a.
