Actually I don't have anything in mind, just was wanting to learn, at
least for now, so that I can be prepared for when creativity knocks the
door :)
What is the link for Dark Grue? Will I understand the idea just playing
it without looking the code?

Try checking out Aprone's darkgrue. That should definitely be enough
to get you started. If you want more than it can do, can you give me
some more details on what you want to build?

Can you talk more about it or refer us to a manual or something like
that? :)

You can make a game like this just fine with super basic html (all
you need is links!). That's how darkgrue works.

Shaun,
As always, good points raised here. I like your sense of seeing ahead
of your time, considering future possibilities, mostly bad ones.
Well, I myself wouldn't have any problem with trolls. The key is,
they stop trolling if you ignore them. It may not happen at the exact
moment, but eventualy, they just don't see the point on bothering you
anymore if you aren't gonna care about it.
The server question is another problem to be considered, of course.
Re programming, LOL you're better than me. I don't know anything
about Pascal, and it's perfectly possible to create a game based on
this language I'd believe.
All I know about is a bit of HTML, MS-DOS and a few Python commands
with their syntaxes.
Well, someday we can swap stickers and, who knows, we can even be
making a game together!
You seem to be such a nice guy I'd like to work together with :)
Cheers,
Marcio AKA /Starboy/

Hmmm, I havn't really thought about doing it as such, tried
programming, and managed to mangle things some at university.
If I did this it would be hmmm not sure.
I tried to write the twine package offline but I couldn't get it
done in any accessible manner.
But yeah, from time to time I think of random things like this.
From time to time I thought about programming in something but never
got round that much.
I know basic pascal at least I did and basic html and maybe a little
javascript but crap all to speak about, I always forgot bits of code.
I have been thinking of doing something, in twine or something
though, the advantage of text games done in the web is no
interpreter either choicescript or twine but to be honest I like
both, twine seems straight forward if done online, but I have never
really invested much more in anything but fiddling.
My chief issue is that I think of random things, then get a form of
writers block.
I found this in school and university, where I needed essays of
certain lengths and durations.
I'd either manage to write something crappy and loose track of
things or completely blank out.
Usually this is what happens when I try to actually write something
for real and well I havn't bothered to try again.
However, I do wander now sincelife and job prospects are pritty much
dead right now, if I should try again.
I do wander how hard it is to write twine and sugarcube.
Could I do it freehand or could I do it with some menu system where
I entered things into boxes.
I know adrift is an option but v5 and up just are not accessible.
With the addon interpreter addon from nvda not yet compatible with
the newerversions as of yet, I probably should aim for a web
language anyway.
I don't feel confident enough with code and a story at the same time.
However maybe I should look at twine again.
The web service is easy to write in, so if I can install a twine
server on my machine somehow could I write in twine like that I wander.
Saying that I really do want to expand superliam2, I guess I will
have to name it something a bit different, fact is, I really
shouldn't clone this if I want to expand it, but before I did this
to make it that way either liam would have to give me permition to
hack things or put it at github or something as opensource for
others to write.
Fact is, with all the issues with clones and code stealing going on
I want to do this properly if I do it at all.
Finally, with all the trolls about on the audiogames forum, and
people with their own agendas to become a developer you need to face
the trials of doom and win, dodging flames, spikes and every other
hell that comes your way and then continue to slay beasts all day long.
Only the best survive, and anyone that tries that is new is doomed
unless he stands up for his own life.
Right now, for me, it makes it a bit harder to just jump in, with
the legit isues and all the drama and troling going about on the
agnet forums, I want to come out strong against that lot and just
handle myself.
That may eventually happen, but certainly if I did this as a newby
dev, it would make me think twice about bothering at all.
Sadly agnet has the biggest concentration and even if I hid and
didn't like do much publically eventually I'd have to show my face
and then get it punched.
I don't have the temper to be honest that allows to much abuse
before I start flaming at everyone in range.
Now that doesn't mean we won't get new devs but it really does make
things harder than it used to be or needs to be right now unless you
are ready to put up with hell, some of this is warrented but there
are hangers on, and other things.
Some refuse to forget the past and others just go me to and hope for
drama.
Its why I don't chat on sbyw, I play games, but I don't chat really.
Its why I am an entire loner most of the time, posting when it suits me.
Maybe I should have jumpped in 5 or so years back before all this
started.
The only ones that don't seem to get clobbered much are the
europians, japanese and chinese, probably because they just survive
and do it right and the trolls have no amunition to chuck at them.
Then again, you don't see many of them about.
Even if I did this, I have no hosting plan, no website, I have a
dropbox with public space but that can't take much.
I'd go google drive, but google drive app just sucks, and onedrive
well I just don't care about the website.
Guess I could use agarchive and or dropbox but hmph.
The only other solution I guess is to host it myself on my own
server, and have that rou to a no-ip domain.
However it wouldn't be online all day and night and I don't have a
server machine I could just leave on all day and night.
Still I may look at things just have to see.

WOW! What a creative mind, man!
Have you ever thought about making your own games? And this is 100%
a serious suggestion, nothing sarcastic here at all :)
I don't have this creativity level, even so I think about it all
the time. What stops me, of course, is that I don't have the enough
knowledge to code something playable.

Well it would have to depend on the way you would complete the
first chapter.
Liam could have a boring day and a boring life and it would be fine.
This game leaves a lot of unanswered questions to it and
possibilities.
1. the movie which clearly has an x1 like guy being defeated by
another person while not refferenced could actually be real.
2. why is the city so empty, smells like something bad has happened.
3. there isn't anything to watch on tv, in fact bar the first
movie, there actually isn't much except for a couple random
programs and news which could be construde as badness going on.
The net is offline, and liam isn't doing anything about it.
He strangely can order dinner.
Finally the fact liam is having a boring life could actually be
the dream here so in chapter2 the story could continue from where
superliam 1 left off.
There are several other ways the story could actually go.
The two obvious ones.
1. liam could have been drink the night before and or high or
both, after some party which would mean he woke up with a
hangover, and fead his pet beer and other things.
He could randomly find his suit and tie was his costume, and find
his laser and communicator, they could be toys, they could be real.
He could find that with the internet offline his phone wouldn't work.
This is quite possible since most of the older phone systems are
on the way out and its all online.
He could have a dead cellphone.
He could get an emergency message in the middle of the movie, and
realise that the dream he had which was superliam1 was actually
real except he actually had to be the heroe in real life for some
strange reason.
Then again it could be a complete other disaster.
Why is liam not going shopping, he can't be that much of a slacker
that he just sits on his rump all day long.
The first thing I'd be doing would to yell at my isp to fix my
damn net before I switch previders or something legal.
Why is clamber the online offline game on his laptop.
I have a lot of games and programs on the laptop that don't need
the net though my system is quite limited without it, at least I
am not as limited as the systems with just small ssd units and not
much else but still I could function without the net for a little
while mostly.
What about if the power went out for no reason.
Several other things like that.
Next, x1 is dead, but roots could be x1 is for real and liam was
just having a dream, or well judgement day, zompocolipse, yeah if
we use the other 2 games from lworks round the time of sl1 well.
While its mentioned liam has a rec room he doesn't seem to use it
at all.
It is clear that liam can't cook, what about if he has to eat last
nights disgusting left overs.
Finally liam decides to make the dream a reality, by programming it.
While doing it he by mistake makes it real, except he is x1.
And x1 wins, and well other things.
Finally we could have randomness of everything which has no reason
to it all but well who knows.
Right now this feels like liam is in some holodeck/ matrix/ dream
sequence and is about to smack into the ground and break both his
legs and start another suckfull day somewhere.
This is an interesting joke but it hints of more coming, there is
a lot open here if you look at it.

In 2004, Super Liam the first platforming audio game for the
blind was
released to much aclaim, and now a public alpha version of the
sequel is
here.
Find out what happens to Liam after he collects that crystal.
The

let you play through the first chapter of the game. Many
questions
will be
answered, and new ones will be asked. But the most important
question is,.
Can you handle it?
Enjoy the time of day system where the environment changes as
time
passes.
Make decisions that will effect the outcome of the game. Get
immersed in the
Super LIam universe like never before.
