The Wikigamers continue to play with the design of the text adventure adventure (working title) and almost all of the locations have been decided and designed. Today, DennisChow and CunningStunt and I have been working on the Train Station and the Ticket Office, introducing new characters and weaving new elements of the plot into the text-based mise en scene. It's been a bit of good, creative fun. If anyone has suggestions for tourist leaflets to include on the sideboard of the Ticket Office, please do suggest. We're also still looking for a few good epitaphs.
At the moment, everyone's eyes are on the coders: what will they do with the things we've dreamed up? There's been a rush to sign up and have a go, which may pose new challenges to the integration of the various locations.
In terms of playability, I'm afraid I'm still having trouble getting out of the Town Square in the demo which MichaelBruntonSpall has created, even with the hints and puzzles sections of the Wiki to guide me. Am I just being thick? What lies up the Hilly Road? How can I get into the loo? What wonders does the Store have for me? And please, when can I have a drink at the Pub?
If you'd like to contribute, head over to the Wiki and have a go.
