Hi all! I actually submitted an entry to the jam a few hours before the deadline, but didn't get around to introducing myself until now.

I come from a programming/electronics background, although I'm currently working in an unrelated industry. I have a lot of downtime in the office at the moment, and over my lunch two days before the (extended) deadline, I checked out itch.io's jam listing to see if there was anything that I could join in. Like a lot of people, I've been dreaming/thinking/talking about making a game for years, but I always get sidetracked by my own overreaching.

I liked the idea of a minimalist text adventure game, and after playing around with Adventuron for a couple of hours, it seemed doable. I spent the rest of the first day thinking up a story, drawing a map, and filling the world with obstacles and objects on paper. My second day was spent actually typing everything into Adventuron. At around 11pm I had to call it a night, and knowing that I wouldn't have time to work on the game any more before the deadline, I cut out a couple of things that I had planned. But on the whole, I'm pretty happy with my little game.

Welcome on board. I must say that's a pretty impressive effort to design and code an adventure using a new language in just a few days. I look forward to playing it. Now the fun starts, i.e. playing everyone else's adventures! Good luck with your entry.

Thanks! Good luck to you, too.

Hi there,

Thanks for the story of how you came to enter the jam. Very fast work. I do hope the system didn't get in your way too much.

If you ever want to code another game outside of a jam, and the jam constraints, then feel free to post generic questions about Adventuron using this forum over the next month.

Well done on finally making a game. I look forward to playing it.

Chris

I added some playtest feedback for Tastybuns. You don't necessarily have to address anything in the feedback. Just relaying my experience. I'm not a judge by the way.
