PuppyDays
the demonstration of an adventure game in development

About
The project is an adventure game of my own. It tells a story about how a bunch of puppies finds their disappeared owner. The game is focused on the relationship between humans and dogs, and I hope it will be able to raise awareness of the need to care for animals.
The project is made all by myself, including the design of the whole story and characters, the illustration, the coding, etc.
However, this game is still in development. The biggest challenge is how to make a dialogue system, and I used a free plugin, YarnSpinner, to help me. This plugin was also used in Night in the Woods, which was also the reference of this project. I learned to used ANTLR to parse the scripts into readable language for the program.
