So I Guess This "Launched"?
Itch.io tells me this could use a devlog and I'm in the mood to write, so why not.
The Way of the Phallus started out as an idea for my own philosophy repository and it was supposed to be a book I write for myself, kind of like Marcus Aurelius' Meditations. I obviously know I'm no emperor or great person, I'm just a random dude, but I think it would be an awesome world if everyone had something like this, their own little notes on things they think about.
Some days ago I discovered Inky and I felt like working with it. It's mostly used to write interactive stories for videogames. I didn't have much of a story in mind at the time though and so I looked through some of my old writing material, so I could put something into the editor. The Way of the Phallus seemed like a really bad candidate because it's not a story, it's just little musings and thought blurbs. But I made some of those have a player "choice" and that way I could get used to the intricacies of Inky and I liked the idea of a somewhat interactive philosophy book. I wasn't aware that that's ever been done, so I went, hey, why not.
And "Hey, why not?" is the reason you're reading this right now.
Have a great day and maybe pull your own "hey, why not?" today; no better time than now for that.
