Not enough time for the miniLD
September 18th, 2011 6:51 pmWell, I was planning on doing something for this mini compo, but real life caught up with me. With half of my Saturday gone and almost all my Sunday taken up, I pretty much got nothing done.
I was planning to make a text adventure game (old-school, think Zork) in Inform 7. In my idea for the game, the player is in an old hotel which has lost it’s electricity. There is also an unspecified monster in the room next door, which will eventually wander around after the player.
Well, that was the plan. I ran into some problems early on, which, when combined with the burden of real life, kept me from finishing in time. My next couple of days look busy too, so probably no real development time there either.
Sorry I couldn’t finish. I think I will continue to work on the idea sometime, and will make absolutely sure I have time to compete in LD #22!
Good luck to everyone else!
