Title: BAKE SALE: Murder On The Lady Titania
Post by: Calin Leafshade on Sat 22/10/2011 17:23:12
My entry for the bakesale. A cheese scone, something for the more discerning consumer who finds ThreeOhFour too sweet.

Murder On The Lady Titania

Have you ever wanted to solve a murder on a 1920s cruise ship in the mid-atlantic? Well now's your chance.

Features include:

- A game made in less time than it really should be made in
- a parser system
- a nice fadey, swishey interface courtesy of Leafshade Technologies
- some blood probably
- possibly some extras if i get time.
- graphics worse than every other bakesale game

Nice setup and classical looks, and I love parser games- this should be interesting!

Don't underestimate the graphics in here, it actually looks very good!
Nothing like a closed down arena, to make a murder investigation game really appealing to me, I'm looking forward to it.

Oh hell yes! I love big ships and 1920 reminds me of all the cool Call of Cthulhu scenarios I've played / hosted.
Make this happen!

Havent you ever played any of my games? :p They *always* have swishey fadey interfaces.

My motto:

"If it can fade or swish then it should fade or swish"

I *have* seen it in action. I just thought it would maybe be a different, exciting new kind of swishy never seen before.  ;) And maybe it will be! It takes place on a ship, after all.

Swishing? fading? I demand an animated gif!

Ok, well, cheese scones are delicious, and so are swishy fadey interfaces. Hooray ^__^

HOW DID YOU KNOW?!

I mean... yeah, sure, that sounds OK I guess.

You guys are really going overboard (pun!) with this bake sale. It would take a lot less to get me to give you money.

I've not heard of this "Calinleafshade" before, but I am assured he makes rad games.  Also, I like the backgrounds, just add more rivets! RIVETS! ._.

  This looks like fun, anything that even somewhat reminds me of Murder on the Zinderneuf (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_on_the_Zinderneuf) is a really good thing.

Ooh, this one looks cool! Awesome crisp minimalistic style, text parser, 1920s and a general Lovecraftian vibe - colour me excited!

Stop tempting me to make it Lovecraftian!

This shit is complex enough as it is!

Nice -I love text parsers.  But do make it throw back your inputs with attitude.  None of this "I don't understand ______" generic crap.  You gotta bring this monster to LIFE.  "I regurgitated your __________ after breakfast, and I don't want anything to do with it anymore."  Take that, player!

I second this idea.  :D

(Also, more Lovecraft!)
