MMUFFFIIIIIIINNNSS!!
This is the first thread for the Wednesday Night Game Party, a new weekly event! The first week of WNGP coincides with the official opening of EquestriaMUCK, and as such calls for something really cool! That cool thing is a game that I invented and that a friend of mine with awesome programming skills made into an HMTL game! That game will be released for download on this thread on Wednesday, March 7th!
Do you ever dream of Ponyville? You do now!! Dreaming of Ponyville is a word manipulation puzzle closely inspired by the similar puzzles found in the River and Swamp regions of System's Twilight, an ingenious puzzle game made for the Macintosh by Andrew Plotkin in 1994. System's Twilight has a very unique flavor, but I can't call it unique, since it was inspired in turn by 3 in Three and The Fool's Errand, famous puzzle games by Cliff Johnson. I ran with the concept, and when I showed it to my friend Jamango, he spontaneously offered to implement it as a scripted HTML game, and we tinkered with his program together until we had a game we could be proud of!
How does it work? What is the objective? You'll need to figure that out on your own! But when I say on your own, I really mean with the help of everypony else working on it! I'd love to see discussions about it on the MUCK or here on the forum's Muffins board. And if need be, it may be possible to grab Derpy and hug her so tightly that hints spill out. I'm just saying.
