Detective Flowers - Stardance

Ship #1

@rgb-hsl on Detective Flowers · 14 days ago

I made an interactive text game in HTML and CSS. Somewhat like those novels where you go to a page based on your choice.
It’s a website so it’s easy to play, no installs.

There’s several unique endings and 10+ connected webpages, which I’m happy about.

Had a lot of trouble when i ran out of time on GH codespaces. had to manually copy and paste commts cuz i couldnt figure out how to login either 😭 struggled with the CSS and little bit of JS i threw in as well, but it helped me learn new things like time and connecting multiple pages rather than just using sections, so I can’t say I’m unhappy with it.

I’m proud of myself for the idea, and I really think I can improve on this in the future. I want to make a game like this, but even better, with better styles, more JS, longer storylines, and more endings. I think this can work as a base for that.

I’m especially proud of truth.html (no spoilers) because i thought the idea was great.

I hope you enjoy!

Done with 2 of the endings! This is what I want the website layout to be like by the end, maybe with some minor changes later on.

I’ve decided to make multiple endings, going to make a really interesting story.

Done with the homepage. Might add CSS to the homepage later, but I want to keep the overall site very minimal. I’m very excited to work on this because I’ve been wanting to do something like this for a while. I might try adding JS features later on.
