It's the kind of 'LULZ SO RANDOM XD'-ness you frequently see on forums, except in game form, with no story to speak of, no humor other than the 'inherently funny' randomness and a couple of references, and there is no gameplay to speak of to make up for its lack of story, writing quality and humor.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I guess it's kinda harsh, but that's how I see it."},{"author_name":"oldtopman","author_uid":"5874","time":"Dec 21, 2012 @ 4:10pm","epoch":1356105900,"text":"@VDZ I made this game for laughs, not inner complexity, but I see what you mean.

Another textmode geinus, this one sacrifices gameplay and almost everything else for a humorous adventure through a villain in training. Don't forget the game's marvelous text-sfx and text-music that are certain to earn oldtopman a place on the Grammys next year.\r\n\r\n(Also, goats)\r\n\r\nOn a slightly less jovial tone, thanks for checking out the game! I developed it in about 25 hours (late start) and went on to add every feature that was originally planned (after the first scaling-back).\r\nRise of Evil was written in C++ with the GNU ncurses. It was also built with my personal ncurses menu library that can be found here: http:\/\/github.com\/oldtopman\/ncurses-menu\r\n\r\nGit access to the private server is available on request.\r\nWindows build made with mxe - http:\/\/mxe.cc\/<\/p>","title":"Rise of Evil"}
