For this small game project I've been working on.
Some of you might not know or even care, but I have basic programming skills, my knowledge is mostly limited to "object oriented programming" so don't expect too much, this is somewhat of a hobby of mine which I became obsessed over for the past 9 months or something, the game itself, is a RPGMaker-like scenario (for those familiar with RPGMaker, I follow most of the amateur games unless they're things like "The Quest for the Jems of the Nights"), running in a 800x600 32-bit palette.
So here's the catch, this is not a RPGMaker project, I created it with AS2, so it would be readily accessible to anyone and everyone with an internet browser and the corresponding Macromedia add-on (no download required), and as such if you'd be so kind to volunteer as a tester, you just need to provide me with some information and follow this
link <- appears as a blank screen and might take a while to download, since it has no pre-loader but it's somewhere around 70-90 seconds, when you see the splash screen, just click on it and the game will receive the keyboard input.
START=spacebar
A BUTTON=control
and move with arrow keys.
The Contents:
Well, this is a bit of a throw back on Spanish literature, even for those avid Spanish literature connoisseurs out there the title
"Casa Tomada" is rather obscure and meh, it's a short story published years ago in some magazine and written in a typewriter (oldschool) by Julio Cortazar, a writer who is "probably" best known for his work
"Hopscotch", a surreal book with a lot of verbosity which is up there with The End of Evangelion in weirdness. Now you'd say, why pick some 70 years old story that not even the author cares about very much, when you could have written your own hot incest laden medieval sci-fantasy? and well I'd answer, I dunno, I just felt like I wanted something that could be shown to the public to begin with (no H scenes), but I'm also not inspired enough to make a story, so you can say this is more of a spin-off like adaptation (I don't know what that is either).
It's not
absolutely loyal to the original, and considering the original is only 3 to 4 pages long, I don't think there would've been enough material to work with, the names of the characters have been changed as well as the rough sketch of the house presented by the narrator, but some things remain the same, the story is pretty much linear, with events flowing as you interact with people (well only one person) and things around you.
Information I need from those willing to play:
-Your browser (including version and build if you know which one it is)
-Your specs (not too much, just to give me an overall idea of how fast your PC is, say RAM and processor)
And of course drop a comment here, your thoughts on difficulty or encountered problems (I know some things that may go wrong) as well as any form of subjective remark on the overall ambience, I don't know, anything.
