Based on my recent (re-)experience with small RPGs I made… in pure lua.
this is me with rimworld: I initially gave up ~20 minutes in and now I am nearing a thousand hours
Disco Elysium. Way more voice lines once it got the Director’s Cut. Such a good game.
I just recently started a playthrough of Wasteland 2 after trying it for like 30 minutes and forgetting about it 10 years ago. And oh boy have I been missing a great game.
Not exactly a game, but the image you used triggered a fuzzy memory of a pre-photoshop programme I had when I was a kid where you could swirl and smudge and otherwise manipulate an image (pretty sure you couldn’t even upload your own. E: on second thought it might have been an option that I just hadn’t figured out lol, either way I remember generally using the default image) in some very basic ways.
No way I could recall enough detail to find it again, but I remember it was pretty fun, for like an hour, at absolute most lol
Is it Kai’s Power Goo?
Kidpix?
Good thought, but no.
I’ve had so much bad luck trying to track down different programmes I grew up with, I think my parents sourced a lot of cheap/free disks and later CDs which seem to have left no trace on the internet, but I’m going to have to give this a look now… 😂
E: ok, I’ve tried a bunch of different searches and scrolled endless images to see if anything looked familiar, but no luck so far. I’ll probably come back to this and try again periodically like I do with the other lost programmes…
Are you going to finish it, pleeeeease 👉👈
I’m currently thinking about making a similar game with LOVE framework, so I could have some graphics and keypresses detection and maybe even mouse and gamepad support :D
Maybe I should release a source code for the old game, just as a small curiosity. As a game the program’s not great though, definitely not releasing it anywhere x)
I’d love to see the source code!
