trustyjohn

A game for the Cultural Heritage Game Jam, using the mechanics of Reigns and Lapse.

Work-in-progress game design document and story blocks.

You can also play it at itch.io. Alternatively, watch a walkthrough video.

The first interactive story is based on Brothers Grimm's Trusty John fairy tale.

One team member and idea are from the EU-funded Values accross space and time project.

Development

Due to the fact that the story is loaded dynamically and browser security, a local server is needed for development. To get it running you need to install Node.js first.

Then to setup the project, go to the project root directory (where this README.md file is) and run

npm install grunt

Then you're ready to go. Type:

grunt

And you'll have the game run locally and opened in the browser. Whenever you make changes to the code, the server will update it automatically.
