An ordinary day begins to unravel. As the seemingly normal school-simulator game goes on, you discover that your world is not real, and fall into the place where abandoned assets and ideas end up. Yes, the name is Unfinished. Everything here is drawn by hand, in black and white, because that's what unfinished things look like to me.

What it is
BandiYou wake up somewhere with a black sky and white shapes drifting in it. They look flat, like they were never finished. There's a floating island, a sign that says do not enter, and a hallway of doors. Every door is a game somebody started and stopped.
BandiExplore, collect, unlock. Point and click to investigate the environment; collect items to unlock new interactions and advance the story. You talk to what's left of the characters, slowly figure out where you are, and look for a way home, or to another world that still works.
they almost look… flat?
What I made
BandiAll of it: the story, the backgrounds, the sprites, and the script in Ren'Py. The art rule was strict: black, white, one grey, wobbly lines, no shading. Partly because I like how it looks, partly because I wanted to actually finish it.
BandiThis site borrows its look from the game. So in a way you're walking around inside it right now.

What I learned
BandiRen'Py, first of all: scenes, labels, choices, how a visual novel is really a script with pictures attached. That part went fine.
BandiThe real lesson is why this one still isn't finished. I planned it the way you plan a dream: a whole world, many scenes, a boss fight at the end. At the time I didn't have the skills for half of it, and I didn't split the time I had into pieces that could actually be done. So the plan stayed big and the game stayed small.
BandiA plan isn't a wish list. It's a list of things you can do, in the order you can do them, in the time you have. Every game I've made since this one got planned smaller first. That's why they got finished.
