duets

I'm pretty sure I'll be 80 by the time I'll finish this, but this is my little redemption to text-based games in the form of a music/life simulation game. I keep adding features and changing the game mechanics, but it's already playable if text-based games are your jam (hah, get that?).

The game is written entirely in F#, using Spectre.Console for the terminal components. There's still no binaries available because I don't want to deal with signing, distribution and, even worse, savegame compatibility (which I'm breaking all the time). But you can check the source code on GitHub and build it yourself. It started out as a very simple music-only game, but it eventually evolved into a life simulation game with a music career. You can now manage your own band, write songs, record albums, go on tour, and even get a day job to pay the bills. My goal was always to make the game set on the real world, so the cities depicted in the game are real, although I'm still trying to figure out how to make the experience in each of them unique.

To the repo!
