A basic sketch of an adventuring system written in Python, August 9, 2022This game was entered into the recent 2022 Parsercomp.
This is a python game. When it begins, it has a neat little loading animation, then gives you a list of commands.
Gameplay consists of fighting, where you can attack or run away, plus eating to regain health and trading.
There are only a few simple encounters and locations, so it seems like most of the work went into the system. These kind of things are pretty hard to program, so I imagine that the author found it enjoyable to wrestle out how to program all the different activities.
Unfortunately, most of the work recreated things which were done before in other languages, and so from a player standpoint there's not a lot here that's new or exciting.
-Polish: The game is a bit buggy and could use more disambiguation and error messages.
-Descriptiveness: The game is fairly sparse
-Interactivity: It was a bit hard to figure out what to do
-Emotional impact: It doesn't seem designed for that.
-Would I play again? Probably not.
