šØ Yo, listen up, fam! If youāre easily triggered, you might wanna bounce ā thereās some cheap shills in this script š¤·āāļø. But hereās the deal: I cooked up a game using G.A.S. and our AI homies.
Back in the day, I was all about that game designer life. My fave was Ultima Online, and I begged my rents for that PC that looked like a cow. You know what Iām talking about! šš»
First, I was messing with those floppy disks ā remember those frisbees? Then I dabbled in BASIC, and once I hit C++, I switched my major to film. Crazy, right? Then I got yanked from school for two years to do internet security during the war on terror. But Iāve always maintained a soft spot for online browser game sites like āCoffeebreakā and āNetropolis.ā
Fast forward, I launched a biz in a totally different field and built it up enough to retire and cash out on Bitcoin when it dipped. š° After that, I was like, āLetās make a game!ā So I downloaded Unity. Got circles moving around squares in an empty polygon world. Total snooze fest ā took me 156 hours to realize this was trash. Online tutorials were like, āIf you canāt code in Unity, maybe donāt code a game.ā Nah, Iām not backing down! Other vids suggested starting simpler.
Welcome to text gaming in the browser my dudes (and dudettes)! Big space for competition, so I had to niche it up. Tried the casino route and got my sites banned (one bad domain, and poof ā all domains gone). Now theyāre up for sale. Whatever! I got a new domain and started working on the gameplay loop. Think classic āget this, get rewarded, and try again.ā Iāve been messing with digital assets too, but those usually flop. Letās mash it all up and see what sticks!
**Game Features:**
- Lore inspired by classic sci-fi flicks (or lack thereof)
- A cookie-clicker vibe (but like, not advanced)
- Leaderboards for the competitive types
- Player prizes and rewards
- Fast loading UI (at least I hope)
- A UI thatās kind of questionable
- Two ad banners (because why not?)
- An exciting sci-fi story with todayās buzzword: "a.i."!
- And trust me, Iām learning to be firm with my AI so it doesnāt mess with my writing.
Oh, and the whole thing runs on Google App Script. Itās the best free "data holder" option for testing. Gotta bounce for a meeting, but Iāll drop some lore from the game āLag.Monsterā soon but for now hereās a sneak peek:
---
**Excerpt from āLag.Monsterā:**
"Survivors⦠time is slipping through our fingers like sand in this relentless void. I write to you from the shadows of our encampment, where darkness swallows hope. The faint hum of our PDAs is our only reminder that weāre still here, still fighting."
---
Iāll be using the OX to chat about game dev, toss out tips, and maybe turn readers into players. Is the game basic? Yeah, but itās 100% free! Havenāt cracked the code for microtransactions yet ā the holy grail of gaming. Like a regular job, Iām starting strong but finishing weak, so Iāll need my buddies and you guys to help with the lore.
Catch you later, either here or out in the wild, later survivors! āļø
