What is Golden?
The demo for Ivy Hacks couldn't be uploaded because of my technical error so please don't mind the old demo used for ShellHacks - we are pushing the commit that added to new scenes and we added a new mockup to allow other people to edit a storyflow Golden is a SAAS for creatives, writers, and technical artists to create stories without building their own assets and writing code! Golden encourages stories from underrepresented groups and communities to showcase their stories without having to worry about funding or creating a studio.
Inspiration:
I was inspired by classic visual novels games like Clannad and games with visual novel as a secondary focus like Persona 5 and Undertale. These games are revolutionary not only in storytelling, but getting new ideas and themes to different types of people.
Challenges I ran into:
This was my first time trying to build out a story focused game on Unity! My code files were gone after I ran my build so I didn't get to finish the endings I wanted for the game!
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
My middle school sisters helped me with design and writing since they love video games, so it felt like a family activity and I was able to teach them game design and storytelling!
What's next for Golden
Finishing two visual novel demos and a possible adding a RPG/Action element into a story? For back-end building, creating a user database and save system for scene building. For front-end, building a HTML5/JS website to showcase a drag and drop feature and building an character/assets maker for users!
