|
<p>Creating a text adventure game is no easy feat. It takes a lot of
|
|
|
time, creativity, trial and error. The key to creating an interesting
|
|
|
game is putting yourself in the player’s shoes and making sure there are
|
|
|
plenty of fun twists and turns along the way.</p>
|
|
|
<p>I decided to keep my game simple and tell a linear story. I used a
|
|
|
web engine called Twine (twinery.org, an open-source tool for telling
|
|
|
interactive, nonlinear stories) to help generate the game’s storyline,
|
|
|
and I adapted the script from a Bulgarian fairytale (“The Most Precious
|
|
|
Fruit”). But things didn’t always go smoothly. When the python script
|
|
|
started generating the wrong messages for players who strayed from the
|
|
|
script, I tried to find solutions on StackOverflow, but it was all too
|
|
|
complicated for me.</p>
|
|
|
<p>In the end, the game took me around 6-7 hours to make, including
|
|
|
writing, coding, mapping, editing, and lots of trial-and-error. It was a
|
|
|
great learning experience, but it also taught me that game development
|
|
|
can be tough if you don’t have much coding experience. I had to approach
|
|
|
it more from a writer’s perspective and figure out the coding later.</p>
|
|
|
<p>I learned that game development is an iterative process, and
|
|
|
sometimes your initial ideas might be more complex than what you end up
|
|
|
with. It’s all part of the journey. Before starting this project, I had
|
|
|
no idea text adventure games existed, but now I’m happy to say I’ve made
|
|
|
one in just a few weeks. Lastly, I would like to express my appreciation
|
|
|
for the guidance and support provided by our prototyping tutors in
|
|
|
developing these projects.</p>
