I hear you. I still have some mate that talk about the original game. Back in the days when it was very impressive to have made your own game. I even had a hand drawn cassette cover photo copied to give tapes out to my friends haha
Well, maybe a copy will turn up one day, then, if you handed out a few. I love homegrown text adventures, their amateur packaging, and the stories behind them. I'm hoping to get a second book written about them at some point.
Sounds great. I share your passion. Happy to contribute to your next book. I have a story of two about the old days. I still have a zx81 and speccy... both dead I'm afraid... plus The quill and illustrator.
I'm looking for an ace adventuron game creator to build and launch the game with me. I have all illustrations, mission soundtracks, game walkthrough of all puzzles, etc. Forgive me for being cheeky but would you be interested in breathing life into this with me?
I'm out south west in Camden Gary. However I work in the CBD around Martin Place. Let's meet up after the jam for defo. Works for me as I have friends from overseas until end of October anyway. Is there a way to PM me with your contact details?
There doesn't seem to be a way to do that on itch.io. I'm on CASA and Facebook, but perhaps send an email to warrigal 24 at gmail dot com. We can meet up somewhere in the ciy after work one day.
I have too many adventure game projects of my own to finish without starting one for somebody else. I've programmed three games for other people this past year and I really need to stop using that as an excuse. :)
