My Space Empire and Me by Calciumtrice
A short Twine game about building a space empire.
As an rising empress, you grow an empire across the stars through high powered decision making - always one of two choices. That's how an empress rolls.
Put together over just the Saturday, I decided to keep things low stress this time and didn't make any illustrations to accompany the text. Maybe for a post-compo version if I fancy it.
Absolutely nothing fancy code-wise, just Twine with basic links. To get the 'source', just download the html file and import it into Twine 2 for editing.
There are 8 endings, be the best (or I guess MOST VARIED) empress and find them all. Yeah, yeah, yeah!

A fun little twine game :)
Thanks for the great little journey through space and time. Felt good and brought me back to the days of choose your own adventures. I

Gameplay-wise, it's a pretty standard Choose Your Own Adventure Story (though I like the system of always having two options, going with the theme). All the branches I played were pretty short, but they had enough detail and didn't feel rushed. I just love the storylines, plain and simple: they put me in the centre of a tongue-in-cheek pulp SF story full of dangers and wonders.
I found three endings, and will definitely come back for more after the compo. My favourite was the Dimension of Unknowable Terror ending.
To sum up: gameplay is nothing special, but the writing and humour are top-notch, and the storylines are a lot of fun. You should probably make an entry for it on the Interactive Fiction Database; it deserves saving for posterity.
Really impacting choices and good narration, enjoyed it a lot! Well done =)
Haha: "I am the Trash Empress and my life is metal as hell and I love it." :D
