I think the premise sounds like a lot of fun, but you know what, I am booked until at least February as I try to complete the game in that screenshot. I am going to try to sell it, which I am sure will be a huge financial disaster, but I can't tell myself anything. I've already started the process for the second mortgage, to just stay above water.

That being said, I would be happy to get a game engine started for you in Hugo. Something like an example room, a combat engine, a player character, some enemies, that sort of thing. I am not practiced enough in any of the other text game languages to be useful there, but I use Hugo every day. Plus, Hugo runs on Windows, DOS, Linux, a Mac and an Amiga with a single compile. Would a starting point like that be useful? Once you get started and see how I lay things out, I am very positive that you'd be able to take over and flesh it out into a real and enjoyable game.


the dark and gritty...Ice Cream Jonsey!


On one hand that would be awesome, on the other hand I seem to have dove in way over my head. I think I was spoiled by that Gold Box "Unlimited Adventures" way back when and I figured that the internet must be filthy with easy-to-use RPG engines these days. This is beginning to seem less and less like a fun christmas break excursion and more and more like work.

While I think it would be a much more interesting narrative in the form of a videogame, I'll probably just turn it into a short story or something. Thanks for the offer, though.
