This is actually my first animation I ever made. I got a script from a friend of mine one day. I looked at this and I figured it would make a nice flash animation - plus, I get to learn something about Flash.
End result was 12 hours wasted, 6,000+ frames, and new knowledge of Action Scripts :D.
Credits to a friend of mine (not registered), who goes by stelyu. He created the script.
Good Job!
Never did like Zork. It always seemed like the "rooms" joining each other didn't make sense. It was always a bitch trying to figure out where to go, how to get there, what to type. Text adventure games are interesting, but early ones were such a beating. And you'd always get eaten by a grue, because apparently the batteries only lasted like 50 moves. God, thanks for bringing back horrible, horrible memories.
Nice idea
An original idea, this is pretty much how I play these games... For being your first flash, it's very good!
12 hours
for 12 hours and being your very first flash...That was great and i laughed my ass off at the end. AK-74 lol
lol, very cute!
I wonder how many people will appreciate this...
Anyway, very cute, but the strikethrough text was a bit hard to read.
Made me smile though.
Great concept
I still remember playing text based adventures like Zork, though I'm not sure how many Newgrounders will be of that era.
The script was funny, but I think you could stand to kick it up a notch or two for the Flash medium. Sound would be really nice; just get generic typing noises for when the user is imputing text and you can use one of those hilarious computer voices to read the computer's side of the script.
Then if you have access to an artist, it might be interesting to have your character visible in a faint reflection over the text as if on an old-timey CRT monitor. You can achieve a warp through Flash or Photoshop rather easily.
Good luck!
Funny thing - I know how to do those o.o
My friend and I decided not to add sound, because we thought it would fit the "House of Leaves" theme.
As for the reflection, I haven't even thought about that. Hahaha....
Anyways, thanks for the suggestions!
I'm trying to animate a real Flash animation next, not just text.
However, I got my tablet pen a few days ago, and I'm still trying to get used to it :D.
