Talk about cutting it fine.

No, I didn’t quite finish my game, although it can now almost be described as a game, in that it has an ending and some sort of gameplay. It’s distinctly lacking in introduction, however, so I guess I’ll mention here how to play the damn thing:

Its a kind of text adventure, but you can walk about with the cursor keys and dig with the right control key. Type “help” for a summary of text commands. Your goal is to find the treasure.

I’m going to do a big ol’ post mortem for this one, so that’ll probably come tomorrow. But suffice it to say that I made some bad decisions that cost me a lot of time, and I vow to do better next time. I’ve also been taking time-lapse shots (because they’re awesome) so I’ll have to mash those together into some kind of video in the next few days.

So… yeah. There’s probably lots more I want to say but I’m mentally exhausted right now so I’m finding it difficult to… words….. Hopefully I haven’t missed out any crucial libraries from my executable. If the binary doesn’t work, you’ll need Python 2.6 and PyGame 1.8 – that’s all it should need as far as I can remember.

Once again I cannot wait to play the other entries tomorrow – they all look superb!
