I wanted to add something to the original game so I emailed the author and asked if I could send him the code and assets. I'm not trying to bash anyone I just thought it was hilarious.
"Do you allow players to contribute new content to the game? In other words, if I sent you the code and assets (pictures, etc.) would you be willing to add it to the game as long as you agreed with it and it was good quality?
Thanks!"
"If we agree with you upon a one-time payment of $500, we can create a personal version of the game for you, adding about 10-15 new events. You can choose the new character. You cab also describe its role in the game and what you would like to see... The payment is upfront, completion period is within a month.
Best regards"
Language barrier or serious disconnect? Very funny regardless. No offense intended to the original author. I understand that he is trying to make a living writing games. I appreciate his game very much because without it there would be no mod. I saw lots of problems with the game and saw lots of potential and ways to improve it so the mod was born.
Sadly, the original game isn't reviewed well at all due to the major stumbling blocks in the game (players frequently get stuck or confused on how to continue the various paths in the game. There are also too many failure paths that the player doesn't realize they've chosen which results in a great deal of frustration). I emailed the author about this also and he agreed. If anything changes is yet to be seen.
