CHIKAN WIER 3.9

GreaseMonkey — Wed, 16 May 2012 01:39:28 +0000

Did this while on holiday in Australia. I believe it was made within the timeframe.

This required a hacked KevEdit (or a hex editor) to do what I was doing. You can get that hacked version here: https://github.com/iamgreaser/kevedit

Oh yeah, did I mention that KevEdit is awesome? USE IT

By the way, you should play ChickenWire 1.8 some time (2.0 kinda sucks sorry nadir but it does).

AMOEBOID

A bit of Video Graffiti.

A short science-horror story of survival and self-rescue.

Just a small experiment in item conservation and economy of movement.

What Do People Think All Day?

QP — Mon, 14 May 2012 02:58:31 +0000

I used the Glorious Weekend of ZZT Blitzkrieg-a-thon! as a chance to experiment, and this is what I ended up with. It's an art-thing rather than a game. It's incomplete and a little offbeat. It may not be your cup of tea, but I do hope you find it interesting.

A game where you shoot endless swarms of monsters in dark passageways. Probably best played in monochrome since there isn't much colour anyway.

Confidence Man

Triplefox — Mon, 14 May 2012 02:01:34 +0000

Yesterday I got an email in my inbox asking for my participation (as a "employee" aka "useful idiot") in a penny stock scam. I've been caught up in one before, so I felt inspired to convey the general tone and feeling of such operations in ZZT form.

Although this game is fictional, the techniques described are pretty close to reality. One only needs to visit InvestorsHub and browse around a little to find shining examples of this particular formula in action. It really is all about emotional state and maintaining that balance of "fear vs. greed" to keep the victim involved. But eventually your money disappears, and....well, nothing happens after that! (I came out of it okay, in the end.)

Some of the techniques not depicted in this game:

-Encourage a "community" of victims and make them start reassuring each other and reaching out to their friends to help in rationalizing a logically unsound investment(a friend got me drawn in, in my own case)
-Include accomplices to make in-person visits to victims that support your image. They could be "partners," "common men made millionares," "skeptics," or any number of character archetypes that weave a story that barely holds itself together. The sky's the limit.
-Turn business into war - e.g. "get back at the evil bankers manipulating the market" or "help revolutionize (industry x)". If the foes are big and vague, they're easy to blame, and your cause looks all the better, regardless of how poor its fundamentals are.
-Make bold claims that might hook people not familiar with the particular industry, such as these gems from my email:

...A start-up funded through two rounds of engineering and now with a manufacturing agreement in place with a NASDAQ traded global top ten contract manufacturer.

...A former computer science professor at USC, Sacramento commented on *redacted* as follows:

“Based on my experience, I can testify that this is a fresh idea, highly innovative, and, in my opinion, something that the general public would love to use. Most users do belong to several social networks. This tool makes the social network environment easy to navigate … and user friendly. This is a required application on the same level as something like Instagram. Instagram fell into an innovative and rapid to market category, which captured a large market really fast. *redacted* has similar characteristics and falls into this category of being innovative and reaching a large market.”

(I followed up to that email telling the guy "I don't work for equity, but I will work for $250,000 up front" and he politely declined. He doesn't know what he's missing out on...)

ZZINFILTRé

thesycophant — Mon, 14 May 2012 01:54:43 +0000

Inspired by the (much superior) Castle/ZZT by HM with its shortness and sweetness. Back in my ZZT days, I never did much with the pre-programmed objects, doors, and such, so I wanted to see if I could make a short, tight game that mostly relied on using ZZT objects the way Sweeney intended.

I forgot how long it takes to make ZZT games.

3D Skull Engine

Aplsos — Sun, 13 May 2012 23:41:25 +0000

this wasn't a good weekend for an event, between mother's day and having other shit to take care of. the plan was to pump out as many no-effort trash games as possible, but as usual found myself incapable of not spending time polishing things. worked on:
title screen and introductory art board for 'interstellar garbage-eating muscle pigs,' but i liked the concept enough to want to do more than what i had time for, so i put it off for later.
'3d skull engine,' a stupid injoke. probably the closest to the sort of thing i originally evisioned.
title screen, art board, and two gameplay boards for 'dracula's night in.'
then it got uncomfortably warm and i didn't feel like sitting in front of a computer any longer. i may come back to dracul & the pigs, but i rarely finish anything that takes longer than a half-hour to complete, so

LINK II

bitbot — Sun, 13 May 2012 20:06:47 +0000

LINK II is a high fantasy themed action-adventure game based on the popular Nintendo franchise and was released in 2012 by bitbot. The game is notable for overcoming its limitations, being the largest ZZT world to date. Gameplay consists of a mixture of action, adventure and puzzle solving. Features include an inventory menu, RPG-style battles, a fishing game, a platform level, cutscenes and full musical score in PC speaker using a unique playback engine. Additionly, there are side quests and mini-games that pay homage to such classics as Adventure and Digger. LINK II is a direct sequel to Zelda II: The Adventure of Link again involving the protagonist, Link, on a quest to save Princess Zelda and recover the Triforce. As of this writing, it is the only sequel to the original, as all other games in the series are prequels, according to the official Zelda timeline.
