The Spicy Meatball: Interesting text adventure that isn't a text adventure

First of all: @Cheeseness, your ideas are very interesting!

Thank you!

I haven’t tried to play your game with a HMD, but I would assume that you “switch” the text too fast. That could be confusing with a HMD. Have you considered to paste the descriptions/texts on the inside of a sphere/ball? With that approach the player with the HMD stand inside this sphere and can look around.

I’m intentionally avoiding any 3D presentation because I think that creates a sense of space that conflicts with the sense of space I’m trying to convey with the games’ content.

It’s not so bad at the moment (text only changes when you move your head and you control how fast you move it/how long you linger on stuff), but there are some UI changes I plan to experiment with that I think will improve HMD experiences (eg: having the fade-in controlled by how close to the “edge” of an object you are), but I’m not expecting to get to those till a bit later in the year.

No, the games works perfect! (I’ve played on Linux). My spoiler was just meant to be a simple example to explain how the audio works.

Ahh, OK. No probs

I made this game and its engine and pretty much all of my other games on Linux. Linux user high five o/
