A Tentative Example

Posted by DesertFox on Nov. 15, 2006, 5:23 p.m.

Well - I'm starting a project. Combination exploration/textbased thing. Explore, walk around, and interact by typing stuff like 'eat apple' and 'open door'

Here's a tentative screenshot of some stuff I made today.

Do you think I should keep going? You got a little blond guy in some laboratory, and some brunette in the kitchen.

Thinks to look at:

I can do all of the gfx like that, that well - but it would take forever.

The base engine shouldn't be too hard, but I would have a bajillion individually placed objects with individual responses, and such.

And I haven't made anything in GM in forever.

So whatcha think - should I keep going?

I forget what you want on it. A cat? I have a grey cat - you wanted it some other color though…

lol FB. You wasted no time at all.

For some reason I though of Earthbound, a game I've never played, when I say the guy in the blue shirt.

I'm a fan of text based games, espically MUD's if anyone knows what those are? hehe

From the looks of the screen shots you could have some pretty intresting puzzles and probable could make a decent game at the least.

But I think most people these days don't have much attraction to anything text based, or even half text based.

But I'm sure if the game is made well it will get some audience, but probable won't be as appealing to most people.

But so what if most people don't like it. Make a game YOU want to play, and maybe other people will enjoy it to! I know this looks like something I might like playing. =)
