Finally, after ZOMBIE SHOOTER and SPRINTOR comes another mighty fine game!
What's it called? Well, some things are BETTER LEFT UNNAMED, for reasons BETTER LEFT UNSAID.
Anyhoo, you can see the game in the top left of the blawg. It's an online multiplayer adventure game, but unlike anything you've probably seen. It's based on our spanking brand new P.A.G.E. engine (Poll Adventure Game Engine), and plays similar to those choose-your-own-adventure books of old - on each page you are presented with multiple choices of what to do. But, there's a catch: when you select a choice, a VOTE button will pop up, and after clicking it, your vote will be saved. Loads of people vote in this manner, and when a certain treshold is reached (hopefully after a couple of days), the winning vote will propell the story further and a new page is added. In other words, you all play the game together. I'm eager to see where you will take the story. Here's a little diagram outlining the game's interface:

It should be pretty self-explanatory, especially 'cause I've already explained everything. Please note that page navigation buttons will not be visible while there is only one page. You can only vote on the latest page. Older pages will have the winning choice highlighted instead. Also it is worth noting that new pages will be added more quickly if more people are playing, so make sure you play regularly and if you like the game, tell your friends to play. If you hate it, then tell your enemies about it.
Rad!
ReplyDeleteWow! That's awesome... I'm quite interested in this P.A.G.E engine: 1) (I just got the impression it allowed me to vote twice,) 2) Love the idea, can you help us newbies making our own games through this kind of system?
