It's Actually a Pretty Interesting Story!
The Beginning+How I discovered ddlc:
The Beginning+How I discovered ddlc:
It all started with one of my closest friends, I don't want to give away names, so I'll call her Hekima.
(Which according to a website might mean Wisdom in Japanese)
Now a while ago I had a big movie night/ sleepover with Hekima and some other friends, we were all in my room and they turned on FNAF and other horror game stuff. At the time I hated horror, and EVERYTHING scared me, so I wasn't having all that much fun.
After a while they turned on Game Theory and the video was all about, you guessed it, Doki Doki Literature Club.
I was shocked as I told them "This is a horror game?!?!? I've been watching YouTubers play the game to help me fall asleep"
I would fall asleep before anything happened but the fact, I could've woken up to Natsuki's jump scare in the middle of the night, I would've just screamed and started sobbing.
I had some kind of idea it was horror because one of the YouTubers I watched had a title like "This is totally a normal dating simulator, not scary at all!" but from the Game Theory video we watched they talked about how dark it was and they added a lot of jump scares to their video which probably just scared me more.
My friends told me they could turn it off if it bothered me that bad but, in the moment, I was invested in the lore of both DDLC and FNAF.
After a while Hekima and I told the group we were going to get ready for bed. I don't even know if we brushed our teeth because we really just wanted to talk to each other one on one because we don't hangout much.
We were in there for a good 3 hours and during that time Hekima wanted to know how Natsuki died because they didn't explain it all that much in the video, she asked if she could look it up on my phone, which because I was invested to know everything, I said yes......BIG MISTMISTAKE.
first thing we get is a picture of Sayori hanging herself, which was the first time seeing a full body hanging AND, in a picture, other than all that Logan Paul stuff, even then at least he TRIED to blur it, well in Sayori's case it's a drawing and a realistic looking one too.
As she keeps scrolling, we get the Natsuki jump scare, by the time I saw Yuri stab herself I just stopped reacting.
The way my brain works is I think none of this is scary until once I'm alone then I start replaying everything I saw before, and instead of trying not to look at all the creepy picture and videos I think I'm curious about the thing while in reality I'm just trying to get a clear picture of all this stuff to scare myself later on (Thanks brain!!)
After that night I was too scared to use my bathroom because every time I would go all I could see was Sayori and I still do to this day actually lol.
The mall day that changed my life:
The mall day that changed my life:
It was my friend's brother's birthday, and we went to an escape room but forget that we went to GameStop and that's when Hekima did the unthinkable! She bought Doki Doki Literature Club and told me we should play it together. She expects me to play it?!?!? I can't even use the bathroom without my brain giving me some kind of ddlc jump scare and now I have to play the game and see more jump scares?!?!?
Either way we had a sleepover that night but had to go to bed early because of church, so "sadly" we didn't have time to play the game, I was so upset by it.......
But that's why Hekima brought it to our next sleepover at my house (yay!)
We played it and it was...A roller coaster. But in the end, I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would.
The stress of coding:
The stress of coding:
It's not as easy as you'd think (But it also is......Or I'm a faster learner)
But you have to make sure you don't make any mistakes, or the entire game can crash.
Ren'Py (Which is the thing I'm using to run the game) is very sensitive. If you don't explain something just right to the program it can break everything and coding ddlc is even more stressful because if its glitches you don't know if you did something wrong or if it's a part of the game-
My best advice to anyone new to coding if things aren't working out and your getting mad just walk away from it and come back to it later, I can't tell you the number of times I tried to keep fighting ren'py and made things even worse. If things are still going bad after you come back to it look up a YouTube video or Reddit has a whole Ren'py group!
There were times I just wanted to give up but I couldn't becuase I wasn't doing this for nothing which is what I'll be talking about next!
Why did I start coding:
Why did I start coding:
(I just realized I didn't even explain why I started coding)
After playing ddlc with Hekima she had to go home after we finished act one meaning I was left to do act 2 alone (Yippee!)
This was the video I watched to sleep XD
I don't know if this was the exact video they first turned on but we end up watching all of them
