Create own adventure game in gemini space

I had an idea to create an html adventure game last year. No javascript, no backend.

Gameplay was planned to consist only from clicking links, and "happy-end" is just the right sequence of visited links.

Sadly, I was too lazy to bring this idea to life, but now I have new courage to do this, but with some modifications:

Create the game in gemtext and html
Use ASCII-art instead of images

I plan to keep a journal of my progress where I will write my thoughts about the game, ideas etc. I will add link to it here as soon as work starts.

Ok, I think I will write my journal right here.

I have closed my laptop, took a pen and paper and now I write this post by hands.

So, from where should I start? I think - from story creation.

I spent 30 minutes and my brain is still empty. Fuck it. I have a bottle of a red georgian wine and the best decision for now is a few wineglasses.

One thing that I have realized is that I do not like danablu cheese - it smells like my dirty socks.

Maybe I should try to write a story about an ordinary guy, who wake ups every morning, drives children to the childgarden, goes to work, takes children from childgarden in the evening and goes to sleep? And one day his ordinary everyday routines will breaked by some magic events?
