Hi Cara.
Well I've played shadow horror and didn't notice any bugs, maybe the
reviews were posted of an earlier version? It's a little odd as far as Cog
games go, because basically it's almost more like an if title in cog with
lots of objects to interact with.
I also like the way the descriptions are fairly plane, then suddenly you hit
nightfall and bam! everything goes ultra surreal and freaky. Not literally
lovecraftian, but a good bit of horror writing with a nice point and good
replay, you can even replay with the writer's commentary.
To write Cog/hg games, you just need to write them in the Choice script
language. This isn't a programming languageas such, it's a scripting
language letting you defign sections, choices, what choices go where, defign
stats and variables and how they are affected by choices and tested etc.
It looked fairly easy going as languages go, you can find out all about it
under the "make your own games" section of www.choiceofgames.com, indeed
their hosted games range are just that, games written by guest authors and
published, but not directly under the choiceofgames line, which is why the
hosted games tend to range in quality, although generally I've noticed a
very high level of quality control among the cog/hg games.
So all this is to say, if you want to give choice script a go, feel free, a
Cthulhu mythos game sounds great!
As to ffproject, if you've not been on there for a while it might be worth a
look, they come out with new books occasionally, most recently last week
with golem gauntlet (which I have not yet played but looks cool).
Beware the grue!
Dark.
