Fond Memories
A short text to help you remember something that you liked.
My first test of Decker, completed in a few hours for Decker Fantasy Camp 2025.
All text and images by me. I purposely didn't include sound this time!

Sweet, simple and very effective! It almost feels like a short guided meditation. Thank you for making this ✿
Thank you very much for enjoying it! I think that you summary is very spot on, I really wanted to guide the player and yet give them lots of freedom of interpretation.
I'm looking forward to play your game, it looks very special and intriguing! Hopefully in a few days!
I think that freedom is one of the reasons your game works so well, it becomes inherently very personal since it’s up to the player to fill in the blanks
Also i’m glad to hear that about excerpts, i hope you’ll enjoy it when you get around to playing it (no rush, of course!)
This was lovely
Thank you so much! I did my best to squeeze something interesting out of 2-3 hours 😅
This was cute! The stuff you make in a few hours always impresses me.
Thank you so much for always taking the time to try my little games! Having just 2-3 hours available right before the deadline helped! 😅
Some months ago, I was reading for the first time The Art of Game Design by Jesse Schell which I strongly recommend. In the first chapter, he writes on the experience felt by players and this is the prime and almost only focus I have when doing these.
I often start with the aesthetic tests. Once I get an idea of one or two screens, I then search for a text that should be simple, personal, yet very open to interpretation and relatable, mainly as a guide for players to feel their own experience.
For instance here, I really wanted to remember some recent memories to keep them vivid and fresh. Once everything was done, I then changed the images to make them more general and not too illustrative.
I summary, I'd say that working fast goes with a strong focus on a simple goal!
