I attempted a text adventure for my first Ludum Dare entry. I wrote it completely in C#. The game is technically unfinished, but it is playable to a point and ends in a "To Be Continued".
You are a member of the Inter-Dimensional Law Enforcement Agency. You will be chasing a criminal across dimensions through portals.
fcpfoof - Thanks for the feedback! I like the idea also. I hope to move forward with it. I updated the links with my final entry. However, although I put as much work into it as I could, it's still very short and ends in a "to be continued" really before the action starts. Take a peek at my code to see all the different things it allows you to do! I tried to keep it very open-ended. It's just too bad I have to submit an unfinished product; but at least it shouldn't crash on you anymore.
I couldn't keep track of all the colored portal stuff, so when I got to the first hallway I decided to turn right and quit. :P Just kidding. I actually fumbled around with my uniform for a while, not quite sure how to "put it on", or even what that phrase means, before stumbling into the portal and dying horribly. In any case, I like the sense of humor here, and hope you continue working on the game.
CogentInvalid - Thank you for your feedback! Haha yeah I tried to include as many phrases as possible to leave it open-ended. A few things I forgot to include are "change clothes", "change uniform" and probably many others. If you take a look at my code, you can see all the possibilities I included.
"The programmer of this game didn't prepare anything for: yes" Best response to "do you have any questions" I think I've ever seen.
It wasn't necessarily bad in any way, just very short. I was expecting something along the lines of Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego, but the game stopped before it even got to that point. It was a promising start, but there just isn't enough there.
DarkCart - Sorry about that! I just checked and it says Target Framework is .NET Framework 4 Client Profile.
Empyrealhell - Yes. You are 100% correct. It's funny because my overall plan was for a Carmen San Diego ish game. I think this is a matter of me being a novice programmer with little time. Quite honestly... I hate to say it but it's also a mirror of my dedication. I will get better!
Thank you both for playing my game (or at least attempting to).
Waiting for the finished version ^^
