MaiTAI - Day 21

Development is slow, but here's a "screenshot" peek of what's done:

Mai-TAI v0.11a build 170508 - FOR USE WITHIN ELECTROKINESIS STUDIOS WORKERS
DO NOT DISTRIBUTE
What game should I load? (0 to exit) taaoe
DEBUG (will not appear on release versions): opened ./taaoe/int.tai
Game recognized. Loading...
DEBUG (will not appear on release versions): game name: taaoe
DEBUG (will not appear on release versions): first room to run: bedroom
DEBUG (will not appear on release versions): charater's name: Eric
DEBUG (will not appear on release versions): maximum points: 200
DEBUG (will not appear on release versions): file closed
Game loaded successfully.
Press any key...
DEBUG (will not appear on release versions): opened ./taaoe/rooms/bedroom.rm
DEBUG (will not appear on release versions): room recognized
DEBUG (will not appear on release versions): room title: Bedroom

So, basically, here's what it does: It reads a file for the game's full name, the first room's name, the character name, the game's maximum points, then moves to the room file. Sounds simple, but there's a lot of coding involved.

Timeline, and other things.

I've decided to make a quick timeline of Electrokinesis since its foundation in 2004, not much to say about that, here's it. (click to expand)


In unrelated news, I'm also here to introduce "the other guy", mentioned on the timeline as he wouldn't introduce himself. His [internet] name is Shadow Scythe, he works in the Flash/ActionScript area and mainly is too busy with side projects of his own. That's okay, actually.
Currently we're working on a spaceship-arcade game, Rrrrrocketships, which will be officially announced soon, and released (probably) yet this year.

MaiTAI - Day 2

I'm here to talk about my lastest project, MaiTAI, which I started working on yesterday.

Basically, it's a text adventure interpreter made in QuickBasic. It's currently on version 0.10a, and will not be released so soon.
It will use separate files for the games. You have the initialization file (int.tai), which is already implemented, and room files, each room having a separate file. This way, we can put the interpreter up for download and then develop games for it easily (can be done with a text editor, such as Notepad). I don't have a release dat yet, but I can say that it'll have one release-bundle game: Mark Monkey (more details later).
If anyone who has any experience with QuickBasic wants to help, feel free to send me an email.
