I.S.O.S. - complete - ready for testing

Gepard · Sat 01/09/2007 00:40:50

Story: There has been a serious accident on space station X-11. Nobody knows what happened. No contact has been made since the incident until the earth base received an emergency signal... I.S.O.S. (internal security operating system) is still operational and is for now the only hope for some information. You have been woke and drove to the base. You were trained for this kind of situation. You sat down in front of the red screen and took a deep breath. It is your responsibility to investigate the case.

In this text game, you are a special investigator, who was trained to understand operating system I.S.O.S. You operate a red monitor and put commands in it. Thus you communicate with I.S.O.S. and uncover the whole mystery...

Progress:
story: 100%
graphics: 100%
scripting: 100%
music/sound: 100%

PS: Ask me for link if you wish to beta test.

Seems like an interesting idea, but I'm a little confused.

You control a guy communicating with a computer yeah? So (just for clarification's sake) do you investigate by looking through security camera footage and looking for clues, trying to piece together what happened from all the evidence the computer has recorded? Or have I got the wrong end of the stick there?

Either way, I'm quite interested in this, even if the red screen blinded me for a moment

Yes, it is as you say but you do not control the guy, you are that guy

But camera footage is not what you will be looking for (more some records, history, statistic etc.).

That's pretty much the same thing, isn't it?

Not really. If it's the same system as in In Memoriam (aka Missing: Since January), the fun part of it is it being *us* instead of some other guy.

Gepard, this is very interesting. Have you ever played "Presumed Guilty"?

Sounds like the same type of game, so I thought you'd like to know about it if you haven't before. Maybe for inspiration.

Right, I think I get it now

Sounds interesting, so I'll definitely keep an eye on this.

Will try, thanks! :f )

edit by Darth - double post combined, please don't double post

If you want, I could help test the game when it is done.

EvilPenguin · Mon 03/09/2007 12:54:05

The story and concept of your game sounds brilliant, and the screenshots looks brilliant too!

If you need a tester, then im here for you.

Gepard · Thu 06/09/2007 13:33:42

Thank you both for volunteering. The game is almost ready. Just one more for testing. :f )

Akatosh · Thu 06/09/2007 15:59:10

That'll be me, then.

Gepard · Wed 12/09/2007 10:03:49

Also if there is someone who could only work on english mistakes in this game (make some list of mistakes) I would be very happy.

Candall · Wed 12/09/2007 14:17:40

I'd be happy to look over it for you.

Dualnames · Wed 12/09/2007 23:12:02

Me as well, if you need a beta tester.

EDIT: Maybe I'm stupid. But I couldn't figure out how isos works. I've played game with a similar panel, but they were more helpful and less sophisticated. Secondly I tried to write a mail. No work there. I did what I was asked. Strictly. No effect though.
