Not at all, my good man. Your request has been NOTED! You shall be contacted when this project goes forward. It won't be until Spring, 2008 at the earliest.

Though this is something I would like dearly to be a part of, my location makes it problematic.

I would need to get together with you in person to shoot it. Which is fine, because I should do that anyway.

I want to challenge myself with a two hour game that still has characters the player cares about. I get very irritated with movies (and especially TV shows) that fail to do this and I want to see if I can do it better. Also, pacing the thing for a movie's length would be a nice experiment. Right now I don't have any restrictions in text games.

(I watched the season opener for CSI: Las Vegas the other night. It was the first show I sat down and watched in quite a long time that didn't involve either the Saints or Blue Jays, and I did this at the request of my sweetie. Not to give it away or anything, but the entire ending has William Peterson, a great actor, saying absolutely nothing when the fate of someone he cares about hangs in the balance. That kills me: there's been what, seven CSI seasons? It's been on for six years and now this one? And here is all the dialogue the writers could come up with:

"..."

I know I can do better than that in my medium. In fact, I have done better than that. I want Ben Parrish to be the captain of a ship that is finding itself stacked against incredible odds, and I want the dialogue to be better than, "...")

Personally, I would love the other characters to be played by Worm, Gerrit and my brother, but that's a long way off. So consider this me "planting the seed"!

I vote space game.

After I finish Cryptozookeeper, I'll do a poll as to what game I should work on next. Early candidates are:

- Creeping Maw for the Vectrex

- A space game in a space shit, with IF actors and YOU, Ben Parrish, as the captain

- An arcade-type game of some to-be-determined style, using the Blitz3D engine I purchased five months ago

Can you do a vectrex game about a maw that creeps and stuff?

Hey you guys, I like Robb's games! How about you? My favorite was the one about the sun.

Because, at some point, I may do something that isn't a text game. Then I'd add a "side scroller" base. That's all I am saying.

Thank you for the kind words about the one with the sun.

I liked Chicks Dig Jerks. The amount of descriptive detail made me laugh like a monkey.

And if it's about TEXT GAMES, how come it's under the heading ROBB'S GAMES?

What if I want to talk about motherfucking NORD and motherfucking BERT??!?

Let's put threads about the games I've done in this base, and other text games in the main base. How does that sound? I did ask a bunch of people for advice on this, none of whom are too concerned about Nord and Bert.

Is this about TEXT GAMES or about ROBB'S TEXT GAMES?

And if it's about TEXT GAMES, how come it's under the heading ROBB'S GAMES?

What if I want to talk about motherfucking NORD and motherfucking BERT??!?
