Spending my day working on "Gooseventure: The Valued Goose Game" which is the text-based adventure game I'm developing for #EMFCamp. It'll be available online after the event as freeware, but the current aim is for it to be playable in the EMF arcade next week.
It's not as long as the original Colossal Cave adventure game, or as DUNNET, but it'll leave you feeling at least 87% more valued, and 95% more eggful, than before you played it.
@kestral this sounds fun! If it can expose a TCP/telnet interface we could make it accessible via modem.
@CuTEL the whole thing is written to be server based and allow multiple concurrent players via telnet - unsure if I'll have time to serve it before the event as I'm focussing on availability via arcade but I'll keep you posted!
Second prize is two badges filled with @pikesley apps
@pikesley @andypiper you get a badge! and you get a badge! and you get a badge!
Now I have to build a hardware dispenser into the game cabinet so that EVERYONE GETS A BADGE!
Gonna pre-install them with https://apps.badge.emfcamp.org/apps/02043113/ and https://apps.badge.emfcamp.org/apps/33240411/ like we're U2
@pikesley @andypiper Just include a link to the PikesleyStore™ Where you can get all of the Skapps™ and Skontent™ for all Pikesleyverse™ compatible devices.
It's all Pike-n-Play™ ready.
@pikesley @andypiper you know what, this joke is going into the game. I was wondering what to put in one of the top floor rooms.
@pikesley @andypiper you make 12x more posts than the whole of orga combined and think somehow you won't get noticed? You are reaping the madness you have sewn, dear Pikes.
@kestral @pikesley @andypiper Orga has mattermost for posting on ;)
@kestral @pikesley @andypiper e.g. a complaint about folks complaining about noise/music at night has now become a 180 reply history of donk
@SamLR @pikesley @andypiper is the percentage of posts that complain about attendees really that high? 😮 we'll be better behaved, I promise.
@kestral @pikesley @andypiper you (specifically) better else we're turning this whole festival around and going home
(nah there's just a couple of topics that come up every event and do grate a bit)
@SamLR @pikesley @andypiper *gulp* I promise I'll be good, orga, I primise I'll be good.
@kestral @SamLR @andypiper I am offering no such guarantees. I do however promise to be *entertaining*
@kestral we already have a plan for the teletype in the Arcade, but should I mention it to the person bringing that in case?
