So, like I said in my poll, I'm making a text-based game. Mostly because I'm a crazy old school King's Quest fan who misses the era of games where you type in your commands. I wonder if people even remember games like that anymore? Anyway, I thought I'd give some more info about it since there seems to be some of you interested.
Basically it will be on screen text illustrating where you are and what you see (kind of like old choose your own adventure books), there is a text input panel on the bottom where you can type your commands, like, to name a few: "go to kitchen", "take (whatever object you type) or "talk to (whoever is in the room with you)" and these commands will either move the character and give you a new description of the room with new objects to inspect or pop up dialogue text where the characters respond to you. The descriptions and dialogue are written like a first person novel and I'm adding in ALOT of command/dialogue options. You'll be able to use objects the same way you'd expect to, at least I'm trying to think of all the verbs one would type for a specific object. You can bring objects to characters and they'll tell you about them, give them to them etc.
Since this IS Noelle and Julien and alot of you guys are pervs like me this will be ADULT so I am writing sex in it. Interactive sex. You can type things like "touch ______" and the characters will act accordingly. My plan really was to tell the story a bit in a fun way since I know some of you wanted to read what Shai and I have written on it, but it's SO long so far that I have no idea when I'll get around to editing it. This feels like a great way to introduce the characters and let you explore the "world" a bit for those of you that were curious.
So far it's a bit in its infancy, but it's REALLY fun to make and I plan to fully illustrate it with stills. Everytime you look at something a picture will pop up of the object in question. Everytime you talk with someone their picture will pop up next to the text and conversly the sex will be illustrated as well. I'm going to try to do my best on it because I'm having a blast making it and I think it might renew my drive to draw again.
Aside from that I have one comm to post soon and more eventually. I wish I could put my tablet on my laptop so I could paint in bed, but 1) it's awkward to use on a laptop and 2) My laptop is ancient and not able to run photoshop. My back STILL hurts really bad and I'm trying to move as much as I can. Painkillers don't work, neither does heat or cold. I don't know what to do about it, but I guess I just have to get back to my normal routine and deal with it.
Anyway, just wanted to let you guys know what's up.
