It's playable, but only just. Also, no web capabilities because Applets were being dumb.\r\n\r\nI started this with really ambitious goals for a full on story-based game with multiple different paths to take that would dramatically affect each story, each story only being playable once and in order. Right from the start, though, that was not clearly defined in my head. I started coding and designing without fully thinking of the best way to make sure things all work together and are flexible and easy to implement. Everything sucks.\r\n\r\nLike I said, it's playable, but the story is very short and choppy and gameplay is just as not-good. Some textures look alright because they're only 3 colors and boxes and the rest were just meant to be placeholders. There were supposed to be five playable stories, but I only \"finished\" two.\r\n\r\nRate as you will with the above in mind.","title":"Title Goes Here"}
