Working Memory
A downloadable game for Windows
In Working Memory, you play as Eunice, an older woman with Alzheimer's disease. While participating in a conversation, you have to spell short, one-word responses to help her remember the words she wants to reply with.
This was made for the LÖVE Jam 2023 (https://itch.io/jam/love2d-jam-2023), but I do not believe I will be able to finish it completely before the games are due. It's my first time using LÖVE (version 11.4) and Lua to develop a game and I bit off more than I could chew it seems . I do however want to finish working on the game after the jam is over to fully complete the idea I had in mind. Made this completely during the jam and everything but the bump library used done by me. My husband came up with the title for me.
Controls:
- Arrow Keys to move around
- Space to drop letters.
- Escape to close the game window.
Special Thanks to
kikito for the bump.lua library,
&
my husband, Brian. for coming up with the title that instantly grabbed me.
Hoping to Add/Fix:
- Title Screen, Controls screen, credits screen
- Music and sounds
- Beginning scene being a note from relative (son?) reminding to take Alzheimer's medication
- Either a pop-up conversation, or a sort of second window showing the conversation happening.
- My thought was it would be a conversation with a barista at a coffee shop where you order. Maybe more after that relating to other errands during the day.
- Slots or some way to recognize the letters are situated on the conveyor belt.
- Send button for the letters on the belt
- Make letters not automatically pick up when hitting them.
- Fix issue with letters being too far down on the conveyor belt so they are no longer able to be picked up.
- Adding places for letters to be hidden and found in such as:
- in a desk
- on a desk
- in file cabinet
- in cardboard box
- Add two part ways to get letters such as:
- Take a phone call and write down the letter given
- Take letter on computer screen and send to printer to pick up printed letter
- A key used for a locked desk, drawer, file cabinet, chest
- A taped closed box and use scissors to open it.
