The fall of European Undersea Facility 02 [FINISHED]

OK, I'll say it:

> Drop yourself down the shaft. Feet first.

Atta boy!
You twist and turn and drop down, legs first.
"GERONIMO!"



Who are you?
Who'se ID are you wearing?
Where are you?
What is your critically important mission?
What the heck is going on in here!?

<TO BE CONTINUED>

if you will have a liiiiittle chance

> press arms and legs at the walls to slow down falling

> press arms and legs at the walls to slow down falling

Ouch, this will burn! Cover your hands with the pieces of cloth you have in your pockets before doing that!

[Wonkyth]

If you use your elbows, knees and your back, you should be able to bring yourself nearly to a stop.

[arj0n]

you're probably crashed and crushed at the bottom of the shaft before you figured out how to do that 

[Peder 🚀]

I am suprised that with this little health left nobody has yet SAVED!

> Ignore all previous commands
> SAVE

[Wonkyth]

Saving while falling to your death is only funny in a game which auto-loads the previous save instantly, like Half-Life.

[arj0n]

Looks like there isn't even a load function at all...

[WHAM]

No saves, no loads. If you die, you die and the story ends accordingly.
The I'll probably come up with another one if people enjoyed this one. 

I'll post the next steps later tonight when I get home from work.

[arj0n]

...if people enjoyed this one. 

Are you kidding, this is great!

[WHAM]

Good to hear you like it! I was worried the oversimplistic copy/paste graphics would turn people off compared to the hand-drawn always-original look of Stranded. I've always been a huge fan of "mspaintadventures" and I try to draw some inspiration from there.

[Wonkyth]

Indeed, these are both awesome! why haven't so many of these been done that they've been forced to push them into their own board?!?
I might start working on my own, for practice's sake, even if I never actually decide to post it up...

[WHAM]

I'm not sure how much anyone has ever planned these games. I don't really have a design documentation, save for a small .txt file in which I have a few key notes on the story and events of the game for future reference. Otherwise I draw backgrounds and poses as they are encountered and try to keep up with your ideas. 
To me this is mostly improv practise!

[Wonkyth]

Either way, it makes adventure gaming truly multiplayer! 

[arj0n]

I was worried the oversimplistic copy/paste graphics would turn people off compared to the hand-drawn always-original look of Stranded.

What the heck? Don't.  

I was actually sort of surprised that you often manage pretty quickly to react on posted commands keeping in mind that, besides you have to react on the command, you also must keep the story somehow 'alive'. Thumbs up.
And the graphic style is definitely charming, even for (quoting you:) being 'oversimplistic copy/pasted'.

>Let this forum game have a long life

(before I got sued by whamgames for miss-using a command: the line above this one was not real a game command)  

[WHAM]

>:3
The lawyers are mounting their lions as we speak. Prepare to be boarded!

[arj0n]

*grinnnnnn*

[RetroJay]

I was just thinking (a dangerous pastime I know).

We should have dived down the shaft head first.

If there is large amounts of industrial machinery at the end and we get caught in it... Pain... Pain... and more pain before lights out.

But head first. Splash... Crunch... nano second of pain... lights out.

Just a thought.

[arj0n]

Noooooo, the game is not allowed to finish down this shaft already...  :'(
