I PROMISE I AM WORKING ON THE GAME
Come aboard the struggle bus...
I PROMISE I AM WORKING ON THE GAME is a binksi... something I guess. Sort of an interactive game, sort of not? I don't know anymore. Most of it was written at 2am...
CW: animated elements, negative self-talk (I guess?).
Also the message received in games are a "toned-down" version of the ones I've actually gotten.
Use the keyboard arrows to move the in-game mouse around, and interact with elements on the screen (and go around "hidden walls"). It is recommended to interact with elements multiple times to show different messages.
Thanks to smwhr and PRINCESS INTERNET CAFé for binksi, PRINCESS INTERNET CAFé for the Tiny binksi Visual Novel template.
Images used were edited with the GAME BOY CAMERA editor, and found on PEXELS (cottonbro studio, Antonio Friedemann").
Anyway, enough procrastinating, I'll actually go work on my WIPs now.

Its a very well made game, so much so it gave the same anger i have when every author i just never does anything, so points for authencity
Thank you.
"when every author i just never does anything" I'm not sure I understand... Do you mean you're angry at authors for struggling to make progress on their projects? (the experiences of the game are heavily inspired by my own struggles with some uncompleted projects)
It was supposed to be "every author i follow" my bad there; but the anger is not relegated to those who are struggling, more so the ones are definitvely not doing anything for years or those that vanish without a trace
Right... I mean, that happens with hobby projects 🤷♀️ people come and go.
Why procrastinate normally when you can procrastinate through a game? I hope you aren't reading this comment to procrastinate working on your next game. XD
I might beeeeee :P
awesome game
Thank you!

I put on some lofi beats, booted this up and it was a perfect way to...procrastinate working 😅 This is incredibly charming and quite relatable
<33333
this is all too relatable: big projects are such a huge task that I technically want to work on but I never want to get to.
<3
small games are the best, quick to get out
really cool idea!
thanks!
i really love this and i love that i came across it as i am avoiding writing my own game (and writing in general) thank you for sharing!
<3 sending you good vibes to help with your project!
Whatever storytelling this is....I love it
Thank you!
I played this with a word doc opened on the chapter I am trying to finish, procrastinating on itch to check the notifications and see if any author updated something... while trying not to think about the scenes I need to write and how I am starting to dislike all that I wrote before.
You are in good company, Manon <3

Sending you some good vibes, friend! It will pass!
