Split Beginnings

It's a working title, but one that may stick.

Currently I'm working on my interactive personal story for #genderjam. It's harrowing, it's interesting working out how to gamify it and it's a minefield trying to work out what can and cannot be said in the name of protecting certain people. 

A lot of details will probably be left out/modified/made fairly abstract, but it will be a fairly faithful telling of bits of my life that are relevant to the gamejam's theme.

It's good from two points - one, I'm spending time thinking about things that have already passed, getting a better idea of what happened and how to tell the story from a slightly different viewpoint. Two, it's getting me to think about what could have happened if my life had taken other turns. Which is interesting from an introspective look at myself, as well as from the "would it really affect what happened" view.

This is definitely a more "artistic" game than a "gameplay" game. I'm pretty okay with that.
