The Challenge - Competition

Post by **MikeDesert** » Wed Apr 20, 2011 5:05 am

I just finally played mine through to the end and got a score of "6 out of a possible 2"...looks like I still have a bit of work to do!

i'm only halfway completing my entry. I have a day off tomorrow so i will try and get it finished. But it might be rough around the edges.

A bit of a newbie question.
Is it considered a must for most IF games to have a score at the end of the game? Is its purpose to show player they have missed some things when they finish?

It's definitely not a must.

I've decided to start a whole new game today.

I don't need an excuse!

I actually like what I've done, so I want to expand it and work the newbie kinks out so it's more enjoyable to play.

I'm going to do something a bit more simple for the contest, but it will have graphics. I have tomorrow off work and the wife's visiting family!

Taxes due one day prior to posting..? I'm telling the IRS

Actually the budgeting for the year after paying the Infernal Revenue Service.

The boss laid off our whole company today, so....plenty of time I guess?

Some day off huh? Wishing you luck!

I really can't believe:

1. I'm starting a new game today.
2. I'm drawing cheezy graphics for the game.
3. I've already had a half bottle of wine and pinch of snuff before noon.
4. I'm making an IF game instead of looking for a new job

huzzah!

Well, it's 1:33 a.m. California time and I'm finishing up. I started my game this morning. Plan on getting it in by midnight tomorrow!
Of course since some of you are in Europe, is tomorrow night too late??
