What to do if you feel finished with your Construct game?
- Add sound effects and background music
- Make an intro screen (backstory; controls)
- Add bonus levels at end
- Add additional levels in-between (or an alternate path)
- Create an easter egg layout
- Add animations to motionless sprites (even blinking eyes can be cool)
- Make a rage-game version of your project: copy your project, and then go wild with property settings and experimentation!
What to do if you feel finished with your Twine story?
- Add more graphics
- Add a soundtrack (I can help with this)
- Add secret passages that are hard to find
- Add an epilogue
What to do if you are REALLY feeling done with your own project?
- Assist someone who could use the help (make extra graphics; make sound effects; etc.)
- Be a play-tester
- Decorate your own webpage with more graphics, etc.
3D modeling tools
Glitch tools
Actual glitches — data bending — can be tricky and unpredictable. Fortunately, there are tools to create "glitchalikes" — adding effects to your image to make them look like damaged data.
