Temple of the Wumpus (working title)

Sat, 09 Jun 2018 16:36:06 GMT

I don't have a screenshot yet, but I do have over 3 pages of notes and dialogue. My initial idea with this was to make a game where you're not hunting a Wumpus, but instead are seeking a divine Wumpus in order to pray in its presence. I'm trying to make a spiritual/quasi-religious game, which is a big departure for me!

I'm adapting the mechanics of the original game to make this work and with what I want to accomplish it's proven important to sketch out the game design really firmly before I start attempting to program it. With this set up now, though, I think I'm ready to start programming it this week.

I had initially not wanted to call the divine Wumpus a Wumpus, but I started using it as a placeholder when I couldn't come up with anything else. It... might stick around.

In lieu of a screenshot, here's a peek at the Google Doc where all this planning is happening:

channel f port

I am working on making a port of the game to 1976's hottest home video game system, the Fairchild Channel F. The plan is for a fairly literal port based off the original BASIC code.

So far I have a working print(string) function... here's hoping I at least have something interactive by the end of the week.

For information on making Channel F homebrew, check out this wiki: http://channelf.se/veswiki/index.php?title=Main_Page

its a flight simulator where you have to photograph the rare sea wumpus

with pseudo 1 bit dithered visuals that change color according to how bad the smell of wumpus is

do not get eaten by wumpus!

i'm currently trying to 3d model an ugly ass wumpus, will probably upload it in case someone else wants to use it
