These games are AWESOME.
Dark dungeon made me laugh so hard, I decided to draw some fan art of what happened to me in the game. Don't worry, I tried not to give away any spoilers...

This is really a toug moral quandary. Do I vote for Darkness, with it's great dialogue, and the fact that I won, seemingly at random?
Or do I vote for Jimmy, with the delicious voice acting of Hachi-Roku, my BFBF? Not to mention the plot, which i was unable to detect or advance to any effect at all?
Sorry, Hachi. I know it might put a dark cloud over our trip to Paris, but I'm gonna give this vote to Darkness/ |

Hmmm. It's a tough choice.
Jimmy had graphics and some butt kicking animations, albeit he looked like a walking Penis (heh). Dark Dungeon had slightly more content (all of it text), but it was visually stunted, shall we say. I love D'n'D, though.
I'm probably going to go with Dungeon, but only because it didn't just stop abruptly at a locked door and it really played with my imagination.
+ vote for Dark Dungeon OHR.
An honorable mention goes out to Jimmy. I loved how after taking a bath I get to make the house all wet and the video game cheats were great info. (No spoilers, sorry). I just wish it was longer. I guess you can say it's a good thing to make your audience want more.  _________________ Planning Project Blood Summons, an MMORPG which will incinerate all of the others with it's sheer brilliance...

:| sounds like you missed the secret area, we were worried no one would get it because it's pretty obscure. Little teaser below, but if no one finds it in a few days we'll reveal how to get there.

Master.
We are in a tight spot!
Voting for Jimmy's Vacation. My BFF Hachi's voice acting is hot! Whoaaaaoaaaaoooooooooa! Turbo gamer. The fanfic (I think?) reading was hilarious.
SDHawk, who I assume scripted it all, was neat. Now I finally have that game where I can move lamps. I have issue with Sew though. SEW

What a tasty buffet (in spite of the extremely limit selection!)
I really loved the look and feel of Jimmy. I did not figure out how to do anything other than walk around Jimmy's house and use/move things, but I thought it was very cool. I would be delighted to see a larger game using this interface-- so much so, that you now have me thinking about what kind of engine features could be added to make this sort of engine interface easier with less scripting required.
If I had any suggestion it would be to try and take advantage of the feature that remembers NPC locations and tileset modifications to make the things that jimmy moves and manipulates persist even when he leaves the room.
Dark Dungeon made me laugh out loud, and that is not just because I was drunk when I played it (I think...) I give you points for replay value. As soon as I beat it, I immediately played all the way through again. Great parody of the text adventure genre.
If I had any suggestion, it would just be to add more, more, more.
An inventory of collected items might be cool too. |

That was actually the original plan (and even had carrying NPCs between rooms), but for whatever reason we couldn't get the state saving stuff to work right and didn't have enough time to dedicate to tinkering with it. I don't think it was a bug, probably just didn't figure out how to use the commands properly. _________________ "Why is it when they say an adult has the mind of a Sew, they lock him up, while Sews are allowed to run free in the streets."

There could certainly be some bugs lurking in the state-saving. If you pursue that feature later, do let me know how it works out. If there are any bugs there, I am eager to squash them. |

I vote for me, because with the current flow of votes, this will tie the score.
Making Meatballsub's secret vote the tie-breaker.
Of course, Hawk and Sew could easily double-vote on their entry, but I think it'd be cooler if they let my idea work :(

I might decide to add more content in the future, and I definitely thought that I was going to have equipment slots show up on the screen. Whoops. |
