Hey everyone!
Happy Halloween! :D
While I didn't broadcast it here, a month ago I gave myself a challenge to make a game from start to finish in-between my full-time job. I managed to just complete that goal and submited my game for the Halloween comp! :)
Samantha Wins
An experimental thriller about love, loss and identity featuring much depression, frustration and many glitches.
Now that I've settled into a job and a time schedule, I'm hoping to try to be more productive with game-design and more frequent on NG. :)
All the best!

I like it dude! When the text boxes pop up and the text gradually is displayed - is that just you manually doing it inside of a movieclip (guessing you are using Flash)? Or is there another way?

It's done with code in Flash. I'll try to give a simple break-down:
You start with the full text, then duplicate it removing all but X letters (X starts at 0). Then every frame the code runs it adds another 1 to X, and then displays X number of letters. This means that every frame it adds a new letter to the textbox. :)
Example using "ABC"
Frame 1: X=0, text = " "
Frame 2: X=1, text = "A"
Frame 3: X=2, text = "AB"
Frame 4: X=3, text = "ABC"
I hope this helped! :)
