Finished for now


This has been a fun project. I started it for two reasons. First, as an excuse to learn and play a solo RPG. I've always wanted to dive into them but never made the time. After coming across RUNE on youtube I was sold on the genre and thought to give it a try. Of course I couldn't simply print out the game and play it like a normal person! Noooo, I had to first make it playable from my phone. 

As it turns out my second reason for this project is another excuse. I wanted a reason, outside of work, to learn Sveltkit, a web development tool. I wanted see what it was like building web apps with Svelte as opposed to Vue and React (which I also enjoy using). So at the close of this project I'm now sold on three things: RUNE, solo RPGs in general, and Svelte as a web development tool. 

I also learned a few surprising things along the way, like auto deployment to Itch.io using butler. So now it's super easy to make a change to my games and tools and have those changes be immediately reflected on both my personal sites and on Itch.io.

Anyways, I hope others find this fun and/or useful. Either way I'm happy with the few little tricks I worked out. Especially that most of the things you do in this tool are saved to you browser. And I'll definitely be using Svelte more in the future.
