What I've been calling my "long project" is now "finished", meaning that it is playable from beginning to winning end, barring one game-stopping bug that I'm aware of but haven't yet looked into fixing very deeply.

I think I'll set this aside and try to make a simple, linear IF story after Christmas. Maybe I can even do a single-turn gag game or something.

If I do get my entry done, I'll put it up sometime on December 30th and post here and on Intfiction.

Thanks for the consideration!

No sweat. I'll check with you before I release the games.


Along those lines: anyone (who is not in the HugoComp; I want it to be a surprise for my fellow Hugonauts) got a couple minutes to run through my game? It takes 5 minutes to play and there are no real puzzles.

I know of three HugoComp games! Baine threw me his tonight, I completed mine and fixed the stuff Flack found this morning, and one other guy is gonna mail me his tomorrow.

It would seem three is it? Now is a good time to speak up if you're almost done with a game.

I just finished mine in the last couple hours. I'm also submitting it to the New Year's Comp, so I don't think I'll post the link to it on intfiction, but I'd be happy to post the link here if people want it.

Mine won't be done. I got the story done but just ran out of time and have to head to the hospital for Susan's thing. :/

That's okay. There's always next time! I was going to be happy if we had three submissions. We met that goal, and a decent percentage of the submissions were from somewhat unexpected sources so the comp was a success in that respect, too.

Maybe we can do something similar at some point in 2012!

Cool -- let's do one around January 3rd. I'll be ready by then. :)

Right on. If you want, we could take it over to the ifMUD and put it on the bot Floyd. You could see people playing your game firsthand. I imagine some of the other Hugo Comp games will also be played that way at some point.

I have all the mechanics of the game working, just need to add some descriptions and tighten up the writing.

Robb, I'll send you a beta tomorrow to run through. It's a very simple game that is light on the fiction and lighter on the Interactive part. If there are 4 entries I hope to take 4th place.

Ah well. I'm Aardvark everyone.

I was just kidding. I'm sorry everyone. Let's focus on the games.
