   Singleplayer Text RPG/Adventure
Team name:None.Project name:Undecided.Brief description:If you ever played Zork, then you already instantly know what I'm talking about.  I want to create a small singleplayer text RPG,adventure game.  Where you go around, explore the text world, kill text-based NPCs, and live a text fantasy.  Arrr.. lot's-o-text. but basically, it's a small scale home-made game.. nothing special. Target aim:FreewareCompensation:None.  Full credit for your work is given.  Do not expect/assume to make money off this.Technology:I'm using Visual C# 2005, and like the description says, game will be played through a Console Window.Talent needed:A writer.  Someone who wants to write room descriptions for a single-player, text-based RPG/adventure.  They can also write plots or whatever they wish to have added to the game.  If you have something else to offer, well contact me and I'll consider it.  But as for now, I'm just looking for a writer.Team structure:BubbaCola (The programmer, being myself)Shadow (Programmer)Website:No website yet, but one will be added when the game is ready to be downloaded.Contacts:You should PM me on GameDev, and arrange a way of communication.  (E-mail is nice, but a messenger (AIM,MSN is preferred.. thanks)Previous Work by Team:My current experience is a text-based Tic Tac Toe game, which I have posted source code, executable, and screen shots.  You can find it here: http://www.gamedev.net/community/forums/topic.asp?topic_id=463092Additional Info:I don't have a lot of design, hardly any.  I have a little bit of code work done, and this project is probably going to take anywhere from a few weeks to a month, maybe longer if the writer feels like he/she needs more time. The tools and engine will be available for anyone to use, after the game is made.Feedback:All levels of feedback appreciated.  Flame, hate, love, anything you want.  No censorship here, please.Added:Latest development screenshot!  Game engine is about 20% done.New Update:  Add custom items to the game with this quick thrown-together GUI.[Edited by - BubbaCola on September 11, 2007 3:06:18 PM]
  The proper term for this is "Interactive Fiction".If you are interested in doing this - you should look up "Inform" language.   ;Quote:Original post by KarnotThe proper term for this is "Interactive Fiction".If you are interested in doing this - you should look up "Inform" language.Thanks very much for your feedback!I am aware of the term of 'Interactive Fiction', however, it's a term used among older gamers, and not everyone on here knows what the term is, and where it derived from.Secondly, I am learning the C# language.  I have no reason to look up the "Inform" programming language, that would defeat the purpose of the whole game.  But I do appreciate your recommendation.   ;  I'm interested.  Will keep me occupied.Give me a shout.else@schnellecke.co.za   ;  I just posted a screenshot of the current development stage.Still looking at about 2 weeks to 1 month before the game is done.I'm still looking for a writer, if anyone is interested.Thanks for your time.;If possible make good tools that allow players to create new sections for the game (if they want to) and make  a website for people to publish their addons. Tap into the players creativity and give the players a much bigger (lots o text) than you could do yourself or with your small group.   ;  Ah yeah, I forgot to mention, the tools and engine will be available for anyone to use, after the game is made.   ;  Another update.  The team is no longer one-man!  Shadow has joined up.  And a very talented writer might be considering to join.Also, Item Maker is done, Next up:  Room Maker, NPC Maker.Thanks for all the feedback.I know it's not very exciting, but hopefully it someone who enjoys text games will make use of it.   ;  If you still need another writer, I'm interested in helping out. If you're interested please PM me or MSN me at Cataphrak@hotmail.com.   ;Quote:Original post by BubbaColaAnother update.  The team is no longer one-man!  Shadow has joined up.
