Viewing post in Introduce Yourself

Hello, I'm clearly not actually named Rex Mundane, but this is the internet and it's as good a callsign as any.

Not my first GameJam, but my first with Adventuron/Text Adventures. Casual fan of IF since way back. First game I ever tried to code was, if you can believe it, a Text Adventure about Sonic the Hedgehog, written in QBasic in 1994. It was... I mean, imagine how bad that idea must have been, right? Yeah, it was worse than that. I promise.

Anyway, didn't even know about the jam or the software until about a week ago and have been hammering out a project ever since. My game itself will be about collecting Text Adventures, because that's about where my creativity level is. Hoping to finish an Alpha in the next week I can post in the appropriate thread. Good luck to all!

Hello Rex (not your real name),

Welcome to the jam and good luck with your very novel treasure hunt.

Just a word of advice, learn how to upload your game to itch with the right settings as soon as possible, but be sure not to mark it as public. It will be stressful to try to sort all that out in the final 24 hours.

Here is the uploading guide (re-using this post from a previous Adventuron gamejam):

Welcome Rex (not your real name). Great idea for a treasure hunt! You've got me intrigued to see which adventures you chose for the treasures.

Welcome Mr. Mundane (not real name). Sounds very cool idea. I hadn't done anything with Adventuron before this Jam either. but found it super quick to get into. BTW I hope there is a Zork I, II & III to collect in your list... bit of advice, given the Adventure Master Scott Adam's a judge drop a few of his in there too!! ;) LOL Welcome and I hope you get it finished in time for the deadline.
