[WIP] Choose Your Wacky Adventure - Ghosty - 11-10-2012 Are you familiar with the popular book series "Choose Your Own Adventure"? If not, the concept is simple: the simple plot is introduced in around 3 to 5 pages, then the reader is presented with a choice to make. If one choice is chosen, then the reader turns to, say, Page 57 to continue. If the other is chosen, say, Page 35. In either case, the plot continues along for another page or two before another choice must be made. This continues numerous times, leading to many different stories with many endings. There is another popular format of reader-generated fiction: MadLibs. National Geographic Kids magazine calls them Funny Fill-Ins, while the ones I played with as a kid (when I was lucky enough to have Internet access) were Wacky Web Tales. The reader fills in labeled blanks to get a unique and often crazy final story. The game has been published! http://2dworlds.org/games/-ALPHA--Choose-Your-Wacky-Adventure/30 Changelog Wrote:11/11/2012: I need more storylines to add to the game! They should have at least 5 endings, but the more the better. You can choose which words to be blanked out, or write the whole story out and let me pick for you. Here's an example of a good opening part. Quote:You are out [ -ing verb ] in the [ adjective ] [ noun ] National Park. You are a [ profession ] looking for the rare [ adjective #2 ] [ animal ], which can only be found in the park. It is known to often live in two habitats: the [ celebrity surname ] Swamp and the Mountains of [ noun #2 ]. Where do you want to search? The game would prompt you with a series of blank labels, and you would chat your response to them. It would then proceed with the story, filling the []s with your responses. Here's an example list: 1) -ing verb: sneezing 2) Adjective: green 3) Noun: potato 4) Profession: hacker 5) Adjective: stinky 6) Animal: chihuahua 7) Celebrity Surname: Bieber 8) Noun: steamboat 9) Adjective: gigantic 10) Article of clothing: earplugs 11) Adjective: grumpy 12) Animal: aardvark 13) Foreign city: Balogna RE: [Game Idea/In Progress] Choose Your Own Wacky Adventure - Walrus - 11-10-2012 I always used to do Mad Libs in the 1st grade, because my teacher forced the class too, or else she'd turn up her chinese music REAL LOUD. Anyways, what the hell am I suppose to fill in? RE: [Game Idea/In Progress] Choose Your Own Wacky Adventure - Ghosty - 11-10-2012 Nothing yet. All the filling-in will be done in the game. What I'm asking for at the moment are storylines, like the section in quotes, so that I'm not writing two dozen of these on my own. RE: [Game Idea/In Progress] Choose Your Own Wacky Adventure - Walrus - 11-10-2012 Storyline #1: THE SUN SETS, AND IT ALL BEGINS.... Storyline #2: IT'S UP TO YOU... TO DEFEAT.. THE.... INTRUDER.. These aren't really storylines.. but oh well.. RE: [Game Idea/In Progress] Choose Your Own Wacky Adventure - Ghosty - 11-11-2012 Choose Your Wacky Adventure Alpha has been uploaded! Feature-wise, it's nearly done -- all that's left to add functionally is background music for each page, and maybe rewrite it to use UIs instead of labels. But content-wise, there's a lot more stories that need to be added. RE: [WIP] Choose Your Own Wacky Adventure - Ghosty - 11-11-2012 11/11/2012: Feature: You can now select individual stories by chatting "/title" where title is the name of the story. The preliminary storyboard (and the only one in the game at the moment) has been given the title "The Search" and would be selected by chatting "/the search". Content: The Search has been named and expanded from 3 choices to 6 and includes one finalized ending. However, it still needs much expansion. RE: [WIP] Choose Your Own Wacky Adventure - Walrus - 11-11-2012 That actually does look pretty cool. RE: [WIP] Choose Your Own Wacky Adventure - Ghosty - 11-14-2012 It now has a thumbnail logo! RE: [WIP] Choose Your Wacky Adventure - Walrus - 11-15-2012 Wow, it looks really nice! You wouldn't even think that the game was made on 2DWorlds! xD RE: [WIP] Choose Your Wacky Adventure - Ghosty - 01-31-2013 Added a positive ending to The Search! Also, it should be more multiplayer compatible now. |
