Dear everybody,

I would like to share with you a game I made for the TIGSource forums Assemblee competition. It is a short thing, with little gameplay and pretentious artistic leanings. If you want to know more, you can read my submission thread. If that hasn't put you off it yet, you can download the Python source (which can be run directly wherever Python is installed), a Windows executable, or a PND.

So, why I'm sharing this with you besides self-promotion: First, I want to make sure I put together a proper PND file; I was hoping one of the supercool devs could throw it in and make sure everything goes. Second, I want to make a call to those selfsame developers to say please please include pygame in default firmware (and, since I'm begging already, please please include all its optional dependencies, like numpy and SDL_ttf). Thirdly, I want to claim to have completed the first original game for the Pandora, but that's probably not true since, for one, it was deliberately cross-platform and, for two, there are builds of PandoraPanic that are probably more complete than this "complete" game. Still, I'll try to claim it anyways.

Please enjoy and give much feedback!

Looks nice! Quite funny although I had some problems reading everything before it goes away (I'm no native English speaker).

I have sadly given away the ending, Look if you dare.

Spoiler

Are there more endings other then him looking after his grandmother and her turning the game off?

I was looking forward to finding out what happens at the end

Yeah, it was pretty unnecessary to give away the ending...

[Tempel]

Sadly not. Just like in real life, how you choose to play your video games usually has little effect on the actions of your grandmother.

I don't believe it took you 32 minutes to complete. But thanks for playing it!

And Did you draw those heads? They look great and a have a cool style to it.

Ahh, no. I am no visual artist. The Assemblee competition (for which this was made) had artists make a collection of assets, then developers make them into games. The heads were made by TIGSource forum user Arachne (there are links to her stuff in the Readme).

Awesome, the tigsource blog is a weekly read for me, i love it.
I should think of joining the forums.

I just tried to run this, and it doesn't seem to work. I'm using hotfix 4.

[maplesugarlover]

Have you tried the updated version ?

Have you tried the updated version ?

Ah, thanks! I'll give that a try. (and I'll add it to the wiki games list... if you want a file on the wiki to be updated, you have to post it somewhere where people will notice its existence )
