Caltrops - Cryptozookeeper





	[quote name="Ice Cream Jonsey"]Thanks. I know the genre doesn't work for a lot of people, but I enjoy it. I think the next few years is going to be centered around getting my stuff more approachable. For instance, here is a review on the site <a href="http://www.bytten.com/gamereview.php?id=478">Bytten</a>. The guy hated the game. Now, he hadn't played a text adventure since Adventure, it seems -- Adventure was frustrating as hell, and there's been a sort of grammar to text games that frequent players just get. So I do not disagree with his experience at all. I would LOVE to set something up, possibly web-based, where a game of mine harvests moves from anonymous players so I can at least help them out in the beginning. (The thing I like about that review most is that he still enjoyed the music. That's what having a genius like FullofKittens on your team does. Gets you a 90 in music even if they hate the game.) While I'm bumping this thread, some focused reviews of 2011 text games got posted looking at different aspects of the games themselves. <a href="http://xyzzyawards.org/reviews/reviews2011.html">It's here</a>. Those make interesting reading, lots of spoilers. ICJ[/quote]
