Writing game

Post by ayu »

So I made a fun writing game. The only problem right now is that I don't have anyone to play with! :P

The rules are simple. You register and get picked at random to write a short text that is the continuation on a text written by someone else.
You get a short hint from the previous writer's text, but nothing more.
Then you have to use your imagination to continue on the story (which can turn out in millions of ways, which is what makes it fun!)

https://www.oddtale.net" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Due to the fact that the interest for my game is rather low, I have decided to change a few things.
But any material written in the game as it is today will still be there even after the game changes later.

So if anyone is interested in playing with me, please do! :D

Late reply, but I recently move it to a new domain to save money :P

https://oddtale.alcor.se/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

There are a few things wrong with the site that I still have to fix.
Mostly related to emails and links that use the old domain.

I like the work you put in to this ayu. I seem to remember playing something similar in early school. Growing a user base is a difficult thing to do, don't be discouraged. :)

In the end I became discouraged xD.
I have since released a new game on Google Play called "Oh My Drill!", and about to release the next one.

A great game for a beginner. I like it. Do you still make games, OP? Where can I see your new projects?
The drill game reminded me, for some reason, about spider solitaire online. The graphics are simple, but the implication is more complex.
Keep on going, OP. Hope to hear something from you! Good luck with your new projects and beginnings.
PS. Do you have any more games for Android? It would be cool if you did. Or some quest games for Windows? Tnx

Haven't really worked on this for a few years now. Sort of dead project : ).

Not the fastest, but extremely entertaining game for a company of four or more people - pens, paper, and an encyclopedic dictionary of some kind are required. The leader finds a word in the encyclopedia that is unknown to anyone present. The task of each of the players is to write an encyclopedic definition of the word, coming up with its meaning and, if possible, disguising the text as a real small encyclopedic article. The presenter, meanwhile, carefully rewrites the real definition from the encyclopedia. Quite an interesting game that will distract from the hustle and bustle of life. Another hobby that I am going to occupy myself with is playing online casino games. Also, I looked at several casino reviews, and the site https://wolfwinnercasino.com/review I still like that the most.

What a shame that the links to the game are no longer active. I would have been interested to see what this game was.
