Today, I focused on developing Scenarios 2 and 3, with a strong emphasis on creating fun and engaging minigames to make the gameplay more exciting. These scenarios continue to build on the player’s choices, with successful decisions rewarding Gems that bring them one step closer to uncovering the game’s hidden ending.

1. Created two new minigames:
   –A collection game where players gather items while avoiding obstacles.
   –A maze game that challenges players to find the correct path.
2. Developed the story scenarios for Chapters 2 and 3, where the player’s decisions determine whether they earn a Gem and continue uncovering the secret word.
   🔮 What’s Next
3. Develop the next minigame, inspired by the classic Snake game.
4. Complete the story scenarios for Chapters 4 and 5.

Thank you for following the development of The Last Star! I can’t wait to share more progress with you in the next devlog.

Devlog #2:
Welcome to my second devlog:
I’m currently working on making the game more exciting, engaging, and fun to play. While deploying Every Bite Counts, I ran into issues with some parts of the project. As a result, I decided to rework the project and rename it The Last Star.
Although the main storyline will be different, the core gameplay and overall layout will remain the same, allowing me to reuse most of the existing layout code.
Throughout the adventure, the player makes meaningful choices that determine the path they take. Each right decision rewards a Gem, and a Gem contains a hidden letter. Collecting all gems reveals a secret word that unlocks the game’s true ending.
🛠️ What’s New

1. Create a New Story Line
2. Working on the first 3 screen, mainly the starting screen
3. Screen in 400 x 800 px so it can be suitable for all device, phone as well
   🔮 What’s Next:
4. Creating first chapter screen
5. Creating first minigame based on first chapter
   Thank you for following the development of The Last Star! I can’t wait to share the game’s progress with you.

Devlog #1:
Welcome to my first devlog:
The game I’m developing is called Every Bite Counts.
It is a story-driven educational game about food waste and junk food, encouraging players to make healthier and more sustainable choices.
The inspiration for this game came from one of my previous concepts, Escape Cave, which explored themes of hope and despair, light and darkness, and the difficult choices people face. While this new project has a different setting, it continues the idea that our choices have meaningful consequences.

The main motivation behind Every Bite Counts is the huge contrast between malnutrition and obesity around the world. While many people have access to more food than they need and waste large amounts of it, millions of others do not have enough nutritious food to live healthy lives.
🛠️ What’s New

1. Created two playable characters (one boy and one girl) so players can choose who they want to play as.
2. Designed the start screen and the first school cafeteria scene, where dialogue introduces why many students prefer junk food over healthier meals.
3. Started developing the first mini-game, where players have 30 seconds to catch healthy foods while avoiding junk food. At the end of the game, players are presented with educational facts about healthy eating.
   🔮 What’s Next:
4. Create the second story scene, set on the street, along with dialogue introducing food waste in the local community.
5. Design the second mini-game, which will focus on food waste (the exact gameplay is still being planned).
6. Continue expanding the story and adding more educational facts throughout the player’s journey.

Thank you for following the development of Every Bite Counts! More updates will be coming soon.
