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:

  1. Title Screen, Controls screen, credits screen
  2. Music and sounds
  3. Beginning scene being a note from relative (son?) reminding to take Alzheimer's medication
  4. Either a pop-up conversation, or a sort of second window showing the conversation happening. 
    1. 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.
  5. Slots or some way to recognize the letters are situated on the conveyor belt.
  6. Send button for the letters on the belt
  7. Make letters not automatically pick up when hitting them.
  8. Fix issue with letters being too far down on the conveyor belt so they are no longer able to be picked up.
  9. Adding places for letters to be hidden and found in such as: 
    1. in a desk
    2. on a desk
    3. in file cabinet
    4. in cardboard box
  10. Add two part ways to get letters such as:
    1. Take a phone call and write down the letter given
    2. Take letter on computer screen and send to printer to pick up printed letter
    3. A key used for a locked desk, drawer, file cabinet, chest
    4. A taped closed box and use scissors to open it.
