= a Unexpected Sojourn

A visual novel exploration game about making friends and helping them out.

== Background

This was originally created for Secret Santa Jam 2020; but I worked on it more in order to make it a better experience. There is no true `jam version` because I didn't finish it by the deadline, but `1.0.0` is the closest to that. The latest version has had more effort to hopefully create a more polished and completed game.

=== Concept

The original concept was developed in discussion with my giftee. They enjoyed RPGs because of the 'immersive story' and Human Fall Flat because of the puzzles. I thought about how I could put these together. RPG quests could be like puzzles if designed correctly, so I went for a game of only RPG quests and dialogue.

At the time I also rediscovered the GROW games, and wanted to tie that into it as well (the idea of time dependence, and upgrading items). The final game has some of these ideas; such as limited time during the day, and trading items for other items (though this is very limited. didn't have the scope to completely flesh this out).

== Building

Everything required to build this game should be included. This was made with `Haxe` and `Heaps.io` so you should use `haxe ***.hxml` to build whatever target you want. `haxe hxml\hl.dx.hxml` will build the windows `Hashlink` target.

=== Prerequesites

In order to get everything required you can run `haxelib install ***.hxml` for whatever target you want to build, everything will automatically be downloaded. 

I used a local library ("./haxelib") for production, and recommend doing so to keep these versions different from global haxelib versions. To do so run `haxelib newrepo` before running `install`

This should build with any versions of Haxe 4+ and any later versions of the libraries, but the exact versions are included below to reproduce the original build environment if there are any issues.
