Hey, old comrades,

Here's a game I've finished (more or less) and submitted for approval. Depending on your comments, however, I may tweak some things before really releasing it. Below are some screenshots. It's got my usual ZZT, old-school (i.e. lazy) graphical style, sort of retro. In those terms, what do you think of it? I apologize for my clunky uploading methods...

Also, there is a LOT of dialogue in this game. In fact, most of your time will be spent reading dialogue, with short spaces of travel and violence/action/movie sequences along the way. It's more of an interactive MZX story, or play, even, than a traditional MZX game. How does that sound?

Thanks ahead of time for your input, guys. MZX, as you can see, still has a hold on me. I can't get away from it, damn it all!

Love,
~>Bramble

i know, but you usually don't appreciate it much when i comment on your games

You realize it's not even showing up in the Vault yet, right

edit: Really, the screenshots aren't telling me much. Is there supposed to be a playable version somewhere yet?

I'll just go ahead and release it as soon as I can. That seems most productive. I created this thread just to sort of get some kind of exposure while the game was pending approval. I have to get rid of some game-stopping bugs first, and then it should be good to go!

You missed one. The prostitute in scene10 forgot to unlockplayer me.

Less minor but still gamestopping in the same scene is possibly exiting and reentering before triggering a certain conversation. It'd be better to gotoxy without using rel to self in this case.

Sorry this report is late. I only got to playing this game just now.

This looks really damn cool Bramble! It reminds me of Nonsense 1 and 2 (By Emalkay) right off the bat. Putting aside the egotistical connotations of this next sentence: It reminds me a lot of what I'm kinda doing with malardy, with the simple graphics, and small viewport. Release this shit stat!!!

My only advice to you is to add more of what you want in this game.

Hey Bramble, where are you? You need to fix this up some more, because you forgot a "justentered" in scene18 >_<

This game now intrigues me.

[Bramble]

Oh, uh, hey guys. Sorry for the inactivity. My life has become busy with things for the last many months (I'm completing a masters in education this May, student-teaching high school English for those who may or not want to know), and after all this time I've only thought to check back in on things now. Thanks for the interest. Nostalgia can be such a bitch sometimes--gosh...

[Bramble]

Thank you for the feedback. I have corrected a couple of bugs, but there may be more. I have played through this so many times. I was wondering if any of you wanted to test the game out officially so that I can maybe release it officially? Noah? Maxim? Bonnie? Kairos?

[KKairos]

kkairos at gmail dot com. i'll see what i can do about some testing over the next week if you get it to me w/in 24 hours or so

[Bramble]

Man, I'm a gigantic loser. Sorry for missing your offer, Kk. Damn it. Er, at all interested now that you see how invested I am?

[KKairos]

Sure, but I'd prefer it to be after Easter. If you'd take it a week from Easter I'd do it still.
