So, I've been messing around with Ren'Py, and I'm amazed at just how easy it is to make things in that language. The scripting is amazingly intuitive - and after a while, I got to thinking about what I could do with it.
Having lurked here for a few years, the idea of a LoK game sprang to mind immediately.
SoS is a title about another slave that ends up on the Sharpclaw planet, enslaved by the lizard-conquerors. After being there a few days, our player has a choice to make - will she attempt to fit in with this strange culture and find a place for herself there? Or will she try to rebel and escape?
I have a VERY LOOSE plan for the game thus far; this will tighten up as I actually write it. I do need an artist - and at least some of the game content will be dependent on what the artist likes/is comfortable with.
So without further whatnot - the present design doc!
