A Castle Built From Random Rooms

A Castle Built From Random Rooms is a text adventure built in twine in which you must escape from a castle built from random rooms. Playable and downloadable at itch.io, A Castle Built From Random Rooms is a magnificent masterpiece of the genre (kind of diverting, really). Contains several rooms, and also a few clever jokes.

You should play it you might like it.

Notes:

1. This game was made during July and August 2024.
2. Using TWINE
3. It was inspired by/based on The Citadel Of Chaos by Steve Jackson
4. But then diverted away from that a bit because I was just making up any old rubbish that seemed to fit.
5. Anyway I know what I’m doing now so the sequel should be better, probably.

Notes:

1. Made on the 18th and 19th December, 2023

2. I decided to make this when I started playing Earthbound the other day, and liking the bit at the start where you can have it randomly choose names for all your characters if you can’t be bothered to name them yourself.

3. I made the sprites in Pulp, the Playdate game maker machine, largely because I couldn’t actually find any straight pixel art editor that worked properly. Anyway, that’s why these are all tiny little 8×8 monochrome animations rather than anything more lavish and/or system accurate.

4. The list of originating systems was aided by the use of this marvellous wikipedia page. I hope they’re all genuine, but who can ever truly know.

5. Also merry christmas everyone, in case I forget to say next week when it’s actually christmas.

Brids, Sfish, And Other Amals

A simple toy that creates hybrid animals by swapping their heads and bodies around, Brids, Sfish, and Other Amals was made using twine, with public domain nature illustrations largely collected from the wonderful old book illustrations website.

You can use it here and/or here if you want, and make various creatures like those below.

__________

Notes:

1. I made this between late August and early October, 2023
2. It was originally intended to be actual printed cards, for my nieces/nephews
3. But the logistics of actually printing cards put paid to that idea
4. I’m afraid
