First Paradise Thread

First Paradise is a science-fiction roguelike in which players take on the role of an experimental cyborg. The game's story is told in a set of sequences and is planned to be ongoing. First Paradise is represented in classic ascii graphics since ain't nobody got time for graphics, I'm a programmer for f*cks sake.

Although the game has been available since April 20th last year, it has seen more than a few iterations. The game was developed by one person although it couldn't have been done without the help of some good friends and strangers.

It's not procedural, yet.

You can't trust an algorithm to do the mind justice. Although Voyager (procedural) mode will be a thing, it isn't yet. There's far too much ground to cover on the linear end. The game is currently in version v4.5 ~ 4.7 and the concern lies primarily in tying everything together. Both the Android and iOS ports are forthcoming.

CYOA

Linear doesn't have to mean rigid. Make smart decisions, discover new things. Make the wrong decision at the right time, get someone else killed. Make the wrong decision at the wrong time, get yourself killed.

It's classically built, it's lightweight!

No graphics libs, all you need is a CPU, a monitor and 50mb of RAM (if that). to run this ~50 to 115kb application (varies insignificantly by platform). First Paradise was built at a time when the specs above was all I had to work with, and so it was written to accommodate.

So what are you waiting for?
