I thought of this game for the "DBPro Coding Challenges" thread.
http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=48011&b=1&p=72
But i enjoyed doing it so much, that i decided to continue.
Most people probably might not be familiar with the style of "Zork", or "Hitchhikers Guide To the Galaxy, the Game".
back then it was called a "text adventure". Now it's often called Interactive Fiction.
Basically, you read the descriptions of places and the things you find there, and then decide what to do, by typing commands.
This program understands a simple Verb/Noun structure,
like "Examine Alien", or "Open Locker".
in fact many commands work with just the verb, and most can be shortened to 1 letter. "G" to get whatever is laying on the ground, "N" to walk north.
The first installment is "Alien Abduction : The Awakening".
hit the download button below.
The second is called "The Perilous Planet", and continues right from where you left off in the last game (it loads your winning saves). This is 99% complete, but i want to get reactions/suggestions for stuff i might need to change.
Design is begun for the next two episodes, but no coding.
Please let me know what you think, and especially, if anyone actually finishes the game, i'd love to know.
