About the Story
Come aboard the struggle bus...
I PROMISE I AM WORKING ON THE GAME is a binksi... something I guess. Sort of an interactive game, sort of not? I don't know anymore. Most of it was written at 2am...
CW: animated elements, negative self-talk (I guess?).Also the message received in games are a "toned-down" version of the ones I've actually gotten.
Use the keyboard arrows to move the in-game mouse around, and interact with elements on the screen (and go around "hidden walls"). It is recommended to interact with elements multiple times to show different messages.
Thanks to smwhr and PRINCESS INTERNET CAFé for binksi, PRINCESS INTERNET CAFé for the Tiny binksi Visual Novel template.Images used were edited with the GAME BOY CAMERA editor, and found on PEXELS (cottonbro studio, Antonio Friedemann").
Anyway, enough procrastinating, I'll actually go work on my WIPs now.

Binksi is an engine combining the minimalistic graphics engine bitsy (which allows sprites with few pixels, 2-frame animations, 1 or 2 color palettes, and text interactions when you run into things) with Ink.
This is not a game with a set ending, as far as I can tell. Instead, you explore Manon's desktop while putting off making a game.
There are funny things and serious things. There are communities that are slow and become uninteresting and others that are outright cruel and hostile. There are fun times and fun friends and the ability to help others.
It was fun to explore. Some places have multiple interactions, but I only did 1 interaction for most objects.
