-NOTICE- this is not a game, it is a game engine designed to create games. (still playable tho) How to play: -input the number that corresponds to the option you want to choose. -press space to advance when there's no input. -press b to return to the menu -saves automatically at checkpoints What the Text Adventure Game Engine can do: -completely data driven—only one sprite -branching and converging paths -save data How to make your own Text Adventure Game with this: -use description blocks to display text. use to tell the player stuff like story descriptions or instructions -use choice/menu blocks to let the player choose from a list of options -use "If; Then; Else" statements to determine what effect the players choice has -create blocks to organize path branches -for save data use a string of numbers that list the player's choices from left to right. for example, if the player chooses option 2 then option 3, the save would be "23" -for continuing a game from a save, start the player at a branch that corresponds to the save code -use the template code for reference
I'd love to hear your feedback and ideas in the comments! for those who don't know what a text adventure game is: A text adventure game is an early version of an RPG. as the name suggests, they have entirely text based interfaces, sort of like a choose your own adventure book. they originated in the 1960s but after 1990 the genre faded into obscurity as hardware capabilities allowed for more complicated games with graphics. here's a Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Text-based_game
