About one week.
(BTW: how long does it take to develop a txt adventure??)
Well, that depends, of course. This one is really short but I don't want to give many details I estimate um... ~20 hours of development for this one. ~100 hours for an average text-adventure. Both of them without study time.

You see, I asked Stooge if he wanted to work in this game (in a main-role) but I didn't have any money to pay him, so I promised him that the game would have lots of seagulls (Stooge likes seagulls).

Hence if the game tanks, it's Stooge's fault

What kind of story do you expect with all that things? :

Actually, no! I have no competition

YES! Although the adventure is short, it will be very interactive and the responses are definitely funny. I'm putting a lot of attention in the details.

Not as stupid as me promoting a game that features a vitrola - it's a record-player, but the veeery old ones were called "vitrolas".

Hmm, I thought those were called victorola or something... but I know what you mean. Wooden box with a crank and a big fat horn. Absolutely no electronics, yet fully functional.

Status : Offline | I looked for it in Google -
"Victrola" is a trademark of Victor Talking Machines Co. and its main feature was that the sound didn't come out from a big horn but from a speaker in the box.
But it seems that "vitrola" is the Spanish translation of "gramophone". That's odd - I'm sure I've read it many times as an English word.

YES! Although the adventure is short, it will be very interactive and the responses are definitely funny. I'm putting a lot of attention in the details.
So, if I type: "Toss vitrola to x", what will the answer be like?

Are you a vitrola?

Status : Offline | Actually, you won't be able to take the vitrola because it's a very big vitrola and such refined ladies like you can't lift heavy things.
But you can play a record in the vitrola
And I urge you to try as many things as you can I'm working on some very funny responses. Stooge is going to help me also so expect the unexpected.
(this is an amazing marketing campaign!)

Stupid question - how do you know she's a refined lady? How do you know she would not kick your ass because, say, she does boxing?
But you can play a record in the vitrola
Unless it's Pink Floyd I'm not interested...

Sounds promising!

Because she's Argentinian, her name is Carla and she plays text-adventures. Besides, she might be the only person who will play this game, so I should treat her well...
...whatever, I'm gonna watch a horror movie!

I'm not sure I can follow the logic? Why can't she be all that and still kick your ass? And more importantly, toss a gramophone at you?
Besides, she might be the only person who will play this game, so I should treat her well...
I can promise you she won't be the only person who will play the game, but she still might be the only female

| Deleted User | Cool Rael, by looking at this thread lots of people are interested in it. I do like the topic and now I know Stooge loves seagulls. No wonder there's a picture of him with a seagull flying in the background.
Green slime , looks like it involves with some alien. And its good to know that there's humour inside it. Keep posted until its fnished okay!
