Cool, glad it's got you thinking anyway, and thanks for the great answer, I'll have a look through the docs and see how it goes.

If I had the choice, I would just let the parser react to everything except "a" "an" "the" "of" "by" and "some" .. So if there are any objects, you can indicate them with any word in their description.

I haven't needed to use noun aliases. I was considering using some verb aliases the other day, but couldn't see a way to do it, so did the match string manually.

cheers, once again! You rock! :)

Do you think you are going to make the jam deadline?

I was just thinking it this morning. I'm not sure. I think I've created a bit of a monster, and debugging the logic is proving a real challenge. I'm not sure I have enough time to work all the kinks out AND add the artwork (I'm not an artist!)... It's about 90% there, and I just need to debug all the story pathways....

I've done a lot of work on the logic today. My wife's back tonight, though, and I still haven't met the "graphics" minimum requirement of the Jam. I didn't see that I needed to have so many graphics, and the game is pretty huge. It'll take me a good few hours to find images and edit them to the requirements.

The logic is about 98% there now, but having run through the game down one of the plot 'legs', it's not really halloweeny enough. I need to add more creepiness :(

I don't think I'm gonna be able to do it, just not enough time unless I can catch a few hours tomorrow in the day.

Would an extra 24 hours help?

I know someone who knows someone.

hehehe,

I'm trying to put more creepiness into the game... I've just been laughing so hard because I actually scared myself when I was testing it hahaha. But I'm still not sure it's creepy enough to be considered for the jam.

I've added another three or four images, but I'm still well short of the minimum requirement.. I think I need to add another 10 or 15 images to qualify. I'm looting my back-catalog of photos from the last 30 years :D haha. Damn, I took so many during the day, but daytime =/= creepy hehehe.

I've tested one of the plot lines to the end... four to go. I've also scripted the endings too, so each time you finish it you might get a slightly larger chunk of the whole story...

Even so, I'm not sure I can hit the 31st deadline... I'll try my best to get it to you before the COP tomorrow :)

OK, up to 64 images, but still not over the threshold... It's getting harder to find suitable images from my NAS... I just need 10 more images and I'm over the minimum limit.... I knew this'd take me ages hahaa.
