I don't think there's any doubt that I will be able to make a TADS game, russ - I can't make any other games (except basic flash).
So long as I can get a story, it will be done.
Just don't know how long it will take...
I have a
Lot of reviews and walkthrus to do first, but this would be an excellent side project.
I've already started on the first chapter.
What I think I'll do is post a link to one of my personal blogs - I don't think people would be happy if I gave out links to access Ebooks for free!
And I've several stories and novels that I am working on that are totally secret (preciouses hobittses stealings pete's's workssss!).
That way, people can comment on the progress and suggest storyline arcs and puzzles and stuff.
The plot and stuff is easy for me to write.
The characters are okay, but not my strongest point.
The puzzles, however, that I come up with have been fiendishly difficult so far - It'd be really helpful to get some ideas with these and how they'd fit in with the plot.
Usually I devise the answer and then say "how do they do it?" rather than the other way around...
oh yeah - ESA = the guys who stop us from being able to put up any game we want because of copy-protection laws, etc...
Have a look at Wikipaedia.
