No Sunshine is a short interactive story I made for the Global Game Jam in 2019. 

CW: This game depicts loss, depression and mental health problems

The game is made in my own story engine Yarnspin, and is also meant to serve as an example game for making your own Yarns. The Yarnspin engine can be found here: https://mattiasgustavsson.itch.io/yarnspin

Made With Yarnspin

This version is a remake to demonstrate the new full resolution mode of Yarnspin. It is using images generated using Midjourney AI. The original, using public domain photographs, can be found here  https://mattiasgustavsson.itch.io/no-sunshine

The source code files for the game can be found here: https://github.com/mattiasgustavsson/no-sunshine-hd

what is the midjourney seed/theme/template to generate your comic book style?

i dont remember exactly, it was basically just variations on "in a 80s comics style", and then generating literally hundreds of images to get any that were somewhat useable. I think it was midjourney v4 i used, not sure, i no longer have the account. 
some of the effect comes from photoshop processing, using halftone filter and blending over scanned paper backgrounds etc, to give it a bit of a printed feel (helped to unify things a bit too)

Well done with the atmosphere and the sound effect. Where is the art from? Is that your own? 👍

thanks!

The images are all midjourney ai generated (it does say on the title screen, but easy to miss 🙂)
