Finally done it
I Didn’t Have an Artist… So I Just Went Full Text Mode
Let me tell you a story.
I wanted to make this big, beautiful game. Cinematic. Gorgeous. Graphics so good they’d melt your eyeballs.
But then I remembered one small thing:
I can’t draw. At all. Not even a potato.
Also:
I had no artist.
No team.
No money.
Just me, my keyboard, and my unreasonable confidence.
So I made a brilliant tactical decision:
If I can’t afford pretty, I’ll just make you suffer with… plot.
All the plot. Pure story. Walls of text.
And somehow… it actually worked.

🎮 What Did I Build?
A sci-fi web game where your choices either save your loved one or totally obliterate the city (oops).
Factions you can join. Or betray. Or completely ignore like the chaotic player I know you are.
A health system because apparently, people don’t like when you forget their well-being.
Mini-games! Because clicking buttons = gamer skills, right?
Fully browser-based. No downloads. No waiting. Just instant Regret Simulator™.

💡 How Did This Happen?
I started with no artist.
No backup plan.
No clue.
So I did what any indie dev would do:
I pivoted aggressively to something I could actually finish without crying every night.
I built Elara’s Last Breath to prove one thing:
Even if you have zero budget and no drawing skills, you can still make a game that slaps.

🚀 What’s Next?
📱 APK version soon. (Because why suffer on one platform when you can suffer on two?)
🎮 Gonna throw this thing at CrazyGames and see what happens.
🎧 Sound effects soon. Yes, the explosions are coming.
🎨 Maybe one day I’ll hire an artist. Until then? Text. Lots of text.

💬 Please Talk To Me
Did you play it?
Did you save the world? Or did you push the "Destroy Everything" button just because it was shiny?
Did you break the characters' hearts? Or mine?
Drop your ending in the comments. Roast my life choices. Tell me if I’ve built a masterpiece or a beautiful disaster.
I made this alone, but it’s your story now.
Let’s cause some chaos together.
Thanks for reading, you absolute legend.
