Ive now updated the ZIP file. The instructions have been redone and there is now a help guide to aid struggling adventurers. The game itself remains the same.
Wow! Just wow! This is an incredible effort given the limitations of BASIC and the short time frame! Out of all the games in the jam, this is the biggest and most polished! An incredibly well made game!
This is a pretty good little physics game that unfortunately highlights a problem with BASIC... It's incredibly slow! However, if you rack up the speed in your emulator, it plays very nicely indeed!
My text adventure is about 90% complete. I just need to program the last door and add in some more cutscenes (including the endings - there's more than one!). If I have time I'll spice it up a bit 😊
One thing I learned from making this game is that writing text adventures in basic isn't hard, but it requires a hell of a lot of time and planning!
I'm going to make an adventure game. Spent the last couple of days programming a test adventure (4 rooms, 2 monsters and 3 items). Some small adjustments are needed here and there, but it works and is playable to completion. Having done this test adventure will save me some time coding and will give me more time to design it!
