May this dream of the Red Chamber leave no regrets. 🎮 How This Game Began The beginning of Red Chamber Chronicle was surprisingly simple. From the very first day until now, this game has been developed entirely by me alone. I am currently a university student. During my second year, I found myself feeling uncertain about my future and disconnected from my studies. I simply had the thought that perhaps I should try creating something I genuinely cared about. That idea eventually led me to game development. Without a mentor, without a team, and without a detailed plan, I began learning and building little by little. Over time, this project became more than a game. It became something that helped me move through a difficult and uncertain period of life. The more I built, the more focused I became. Eventually, I found myself completely immersed in creating this world. While reading novels, I became fascinated by fan interpretations of Dream of the Red Chamber. Many people loved these characters and stories, yet very few games truly allowed players to step inside that world. So I asked myself: Could the Red Chamber become more than a book? Could it become a world where people can live, choose, and change their fate? That simple question became the foundation of this project. 🧠 How I Made This Game I am not a professional developer, nor did I begin with years of experience. My development process has largely been: Learn. Build. Start over. Improve. Repeat. This project is not only a game—it is also a record of my own growth and learning journey. ❤️ Why Dream of the Red Chamber? What first attracted me was not its status as a literary classic. It was the feeling it left behind. The beauty. The restraint. The regrets. The subtle and complicated relationships between people. I always felt that simply reading the story was not enough. I wanted to give it another life. Not as a novel. But as a world. 🏗️ Current Development Status Red Chamber Chronicle already features a freely explorable world and a growing life simulation system inspired by the original novel. Current features include: - A freely explorable Grand View Garden and Jia family world - Dynamic NPC schedules and time progression systems - Character growth and life simulation activities - Branching storylines and multiple endings - An expanding world that continues to grow with development The game is not yet complete, but it has already become a world that players can truly live in. 🌳 What It's Like Developing Alone Sometimes it feels slow. Sometimes it feels impossibly difficult. But most of the time, it brings a quiet sense of fulfillment. Because you are not simply finishing tasks on a checklist. You are building a world with your own hands. A place that gradually grows into something real. 🌱 A Final Note The complete vision for Red Chamber Chronicle spans seventeen years of life within the world of the Red Chamber. The upcoming demo will contain the first six years of this journey, offering a substantial introduction to the world, characters, and systems. The remaining eleven years, along with additional storylines and life chapters, will continue to be developed and expanded over time. Thank you for taking an interest in this project. I sincerely hope you enjoy your time in this world.
