Hi folx,

I'm Chris and I'm not sure why I've joined this jam other than that I've always wanted to try my hand at a text adventure. I usually write pen and paper games, so this is very much outside my comfort zone.

Looking forward to getting going!

Hi Chris,

Really nice to have new authors coming on board.

Do get accustomed to the Adventuron system as soon as you can and do play the TWO game.  If you get as far as the dungeon location, then you should understand how puzzle design works under tight text constraints. If you get stuck in TWO, there is a full PDF, and SVG to assist. Adventuron has its own tutorial video + web documentation.

If you get stuck, don't be afraid to ask for help in the forum.  Make sure you extend the two theme, and that you nominate a treasure_room (as shown in the sample code on the main jam page).

Good luck.

Chris

Hi Chris, how did you go in the end? Did you find that writing a text adventure was TOO far out of your comfort zone or you just ran out of steam?
