What's the story so far?

Oceanspirit Dennis is a (usually) gay (usually) pirate with (usually) poor grasp of English grammar and spelling, and (sometimes) bad teeth. He (almost always) has an eyepatch, a big sword called the Emoblade, and (often) a pirate ship called The Fancy Lad. In games with RPG battles, he can usually do magic spells. His lover/enemy/friend is Lifepartner Ray, who is supposedly a pimp (but seems to be more into the fashion aspect of it than the procuring side). Other characters may also appear.

There's almost no overall continuity, but some creators call back to earlier games by themselves or others. None of it is set in stone if ignoring it is good for a joke.

Snarky is right. There is no "set in stone" continuity for Dennis. He's a pirate / detective / ninja / viking who goes on many adventures. And those adventures sometimes make sense, but not usually. And they often contradict each other. Also, he has a mouse friend named Mr. Cheeses and a twin brother named Oceanspirit Kurt.

I look forward to your OSD game, Miguel.

You fools! Clearly Ben intended for the series and the universe, and especially the canon to be taken with utmost seriousness and preserved with maximum care, making sure there are no contradictions or discrepancies in the lore.

edit: Also since adventuregamestudio.co.uk is dead, it'd be neat if you eventually fixed the links that lead there (both here and on the site).

I've always wanted to make an Oceanspirit game. I had even started working on one but gave up; I usually get distracted by other shiny things. Perhaps one day I will.

(On a side-note: I'm surprised this thread has lasted as long as it has in the Adventure related)

He's also an attractive young lady speaking perfect English only in her inner monologues. She fought the Blues Brothers once and they had to undulate away. Epic.

Snarky, you have convinced me! There's no better character that I could ever imagine!
I've talked with Ponch before about making a OSD game, actually he kept telling that I should make it.
So, yes, I'm going for it!
May the gods help me honour this great franchise.

Ponch · Wed 13/11/2013 03:19:07

Miguel: Good luck! We're all counting on you.

Nemo: Curse Ben and his incredibly intricate continuity! It's so tightly plotted that none of us can figure it out! And I'll fix the links soon.

Ryan: No one is more synonymous with adventurings than Dennis.

Now get to work on that game of yours. Do it for Canada!

Ghost: Truly, Dennis is everything to everyone.

Just to report a small mistake : the page here says the game is 2.5MB but it's actually 20.5MB http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/site/games/game/1684/

Gilbert · Wed 13/11/2013 15:07:41

No, the size is correct, in OSD world metric.

I was going to fix those on my lunch break today. But I've just discovered how many BigBlueCups links there are in this thread! Holy crackers! This may have to wait until this weekend. Curse you, ~~AJA~~ AGA, for letting that domain lapse!!

Also, OSD cares nothing for your file size!

qptain Nemo · Wed 13/11/2013 17:00:42

OSD fully compensates for the small file size with the size of his sword.

Copy/paste into notepad and just Find & Replace adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums to adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums. The games page one is slightly more difficult, but just copy/paste and manually retype the ID:

www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/games.php?action=detail&id=1371
and change to:
www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/site/games/game/1371/

Even a cow could do it!

Or a Canadian, as it turns out.

Now where's that OSD game, Mr. Timoothy? I gotta have my fix!

Oops, well spotted. Fixed now!

miguel · Fri 13/12/2013 13:59:59

Sorry to bump this one but are there any relevant facts I should know about Life Partner Ray?
I know Dennis and him have a interesting relationship going on and I will explore that fact in many ~~positions~~ ways possible but what else should I know about him without playing the huge list of games?

Ghost · Fri 13/12/2013 15:55:50

Miguel- he wears an awesome wide-brimmed felt hat with a feather in it. And he's more eloquent than Dennis. Their love for each other is eternal unless it isn't. And that's it, really. Nothing else is known/canon/important/made up yet

miguel · Fri 13/12/2013 20:32:54

Ahhh yes, the purple long coat and the hat with the feather.
Maybe he likes to quote Oscar Wilde from now on...

qptain Nemo · Sat 14/12/2013 00:02:16

Well, if you want short answers... he's friggin' dating Oceanspirit Dennis! Doesn't that tell you everything you need to know about his personality? I'd say that says enough about the man. More than enough.

I'm sure he does, now that you mention it.

Ray and Dennis have a love that will last for the ages, except when they're apart. Then it's anything goes. Truly, love is tumultuous, wonderful thing.
