Great Aprone! I'm a big fan of rpg games, so I'll surely try  it!

This is great. Once again, we have a new game! I love how your games are just zip archives without any registration entries or anything. That way I can bring them into school and play them on slow days, haha!

it's just a joke rpg

Yup yup!  Just what the Chief defenestrator requested!  :d

IN all seriousness, I would love to see this game take shape and turn into something.  I swear I'd be playing for days!

Nice, Aprone, that actually put a smile on my face after a rough day in school today. Thanks for the joke lol, but don't delete the files please I want to see what is in that zip archive please.

I just got the advantage to listen to the message lol, funny!

As always Dark, you've written a post that's terribly fun to read.  My only hope is that you were joking about adding it to the game database, haha!  I think that would be a horrible prank to play on anyone who ever stumbled upon it.

The hate mail has finally stopped coming in, so that's a good thing.  Yep, you heard that right!  I posted this joke game here, on klango, and audyssey, and I must say that not everyone took the joke with a very good attitude.  The angry messages and emails I was sent ranged from simple statements of being unhappy with me for playing the joke, all the way to people swearing and threatening me because of it.  I can't help but laugh because of how ridiculous some people are, but I suppose that's a whole topic in itself.

As an interesting story (which I feel like sharing for some reason) the idea for the game AND the free time to make it were both linked.  I know the game story isn't actually about zombies, but I had a very vivid zombie dream last night that contained a fair amount of people screaming.  The idea of nightmares and screaming is what I built upon as I started making up the fake game's little back story.  The dream I had was pretty interesting for me, because it contained 2 firsts for me.  I've had plenty of zombie themed dreams, but this was the first time I can remember actually being caught and killed by the zombies.  By itself that wouldn't have been such a big deal, but it was a pretty realistic dream and it is the first time I remember ever feeling actual pain in a dream!  If a dream is a realistic one, you can hear sounds, feel things you touch, and in my case even see the dream world as though it is real life.  When the first zombie took a bite out of me, I actually felt like someone had bitten a chunk of skin out of my back!  In the dream I was aware that I was dreaming so I wasn't really fearful of my life, but after it bit me and I stumbled onto the street I became very worried about the dream death I was about to experience.  I absolutely did NOT want to find out how much it was going to hurt to be killed by dozens and dozens of bites.

I had fallen on my stomach right in the middle of a group of zombies, so I didn't have more than a few seconds before they started throwing themselves on top of me and biting.  Like normal dreams, I was aware of being hurt but it wasn't actually hurting like real life.  I remember holding my right hand up to my face and looking at where a zombie had bitten most of my index finger off, and being VERY relieved that there was no real pain.  I woke up a moment later and couldn't go back to sleep.  That gave me a few extra hours of free time that I used to throw together the fake game and story.

Which park Key?  The hate mail or poor Aprone getting eaten by zombies? 

Well Aprone I don't know what I find more disturbing, the fact that you have such vivid dreams about zombies, or the fact you've recieved hate male over this joke (heck the name darkruse even tells you what the game is). Some people are pretty zombified themselves.

no I won't be adding it to the database, I just liked the idea of a miss information and pull the other one catagory :d.

As to pain in dreams, I've certainly experienced that myself too, though usually it just feels hot like spilling hot liquid on yourself rather than really agonizing, stil it's not pleasant.

Obviously your watching too many zombi apocalypse films and reading too many books like that, or maybe you've just got zombies on the braaaaain!

I suggest you listen to This song from utube to get out of it. Also try an audio podcast drama called the takeover from www.podiobooks.com, one of the most amusing things I've ever found involving zombies .

Hay Apron,
Speaking of zombies... I don't know how much time you've got, but I'd love to see an arcade style zombie shooter for halloween. I know what you're all gonna say, not another space invader game! But, wait a minute...
If anyone's ever played ponte's duel, you'll know that it's a bit tricky to get your aim right because it's not the enemies being panned as you move, it's you.
So, what could be cool is zombies coming from either the left or right and it'd be tricky as you'd have to move to their position, rather than centering them, thus, it's a bit more difficult. It'd be cool if ti could be multi-level or endless. I know it's simple, but i'd love something for halloween.

i,
IT's in the title, for sure. Anyway Jeremy, I would be curious to see what you could do with it, i.e. actually putting in some content.
Great joke though.

I was actually trying to make a sword-fighting game with a similar primmace (cutting off limbs and such) over the summer (and as a bonus, it would have had a zombie game). But it caused my brain to melt, so I invented feudal Japan instead.

After reading about the zombie dream, I was a little worried something similar would happen to me the next time I fell asleep.
Well, not quite, though there was a brush with a fanfiction that had the power to illustrate a certain scene by having the reader experience a moment where the heart stopped. I'd apparently encountered this before, and was trying desperately to get away from the area before it got to that part in the story. (I didn't succeed. Though before that I did have an encounter with a ninja who I not only managed to defeat, but prevent from losing his soul to the ghostly hord).
I woke up after the heart-stopping story (because who can sleep through that?), only to fall asleep a while later and start working my way through the lab in Darkruse. It seemed to go back and forth between being a game with advanced means of interaction (head-tracking included) and being me physically wandering through the physical lab (which was pretty poorly organized, let me tell you...).
Apparently there was some problem with the climate control, since when I got to the basement, there was a lot of snow and such piling up on the walls. A crazy old lady stuck down there gave me a plastic fork, which I held onto for dear life, what with having not managed to hold on to a weapon until that point. (I get the impression that the crazy old lady was an employee who they just didn't have the heart to let go.)

I remember something involving focusing on light sources in a certain way, since they apparently represented things to be interacted with, and once having to stop myself from thinking a heatsource was a lightsource.
