Hi all,
I've an idea for a text adventure game I'd like to write floating
around in my head; whether I'll get time to actually implement it is
another question, but in case I do, I figured I'd best check first to
see if anyone would actually like it.
The idea would involve some traditional RPG elements, specifically:
- Combat and the acquiring of better weapons and other stuff for
purposes of same.
- Stealth, where being able to sneak past bad guys without fighting
would depend on character ability and equipment rather than being
fully determined by a particular puzzle.
- In general, multiple approaches to situations (fight the guards? try
to sneak past them? bribery? look for a hidden entrance? - any of
these could work if you have the wherewithal).
Now, practically no text adventure games released in the last decade
or however long it is have such elements, so my question is: would
people react with "oh, interesting, let's give it a try" or "X ME...
hit points? QUIT."?
