Title: Feb MAGS - Last Clown Standing
Post by: Creed Malay on Wed 25/02/2004 15:28:45
THis might not count as a game, I guess - it be very short, and is really only and interactive intro to the game I would have made if I hadn't found out about this months theme one day after the official closing date, and had to make my entry in a couple of frantic hours.
I got the weird little scenario in my head after reading this months rules, though, and wanted to get shot of them. Hopefully, it's a bit of fun, and you will find it laugh-making.

All props to Masser Gilbert for hosting me.... I had fun making it, and might go back to the character/world another time.

One of the most twisted, surreal and utterly warped stories ever to burst forth from Creed's mental well.  If you ever turn this into a full game, I'll be first in line to buy, er, download it.

Does Cornflake Girl have anything to do with the Tori Amos song?

That was a great moment, but the bit I liked best was the lead-up to the title's appearance. It was nicely paced, and the timing was perfect.

Cheers to everyone for the good word....

Dave - Cheers, man. I'm going to take that as a complement.... ;D

Eric - The book's a mistake. Should have been there froim the start, and secretly change to another identical looking book at the moment it appears. It was a programming cheat thing, triggering the unlocking door thing. Since I was rushing to make the game, it seemed easier to cheat than torture my brain with coding. Butr I forgot to turn the first book on, because I suck like that.
Hope that made sense.

I used Cornflake Girl because I've got lots of dark and moody midis on my harddrive at the moment for anothe rgame I'm working on, and that one just sounded right when I put in in the game. It could just as  easily have been "I don't like mondays" by the Boomtown Rats.  :)

Elaine - Thanks! I tried to make that bit kind of absurdly-dramatic. Serious build up then the weird-out. You know.

I think that's the end of it. I'm not sure. If it extends beyond that please say so.
