Inspiration

We took inspiration from a game named "Colossal Cave Adventure", developed in 1976.

What it does

Our game features a completely new storyline with modern-day features like dictate your command, smart hints, load your saved game, save your game, and narrates the storyline as the story progresses, among other features. The game developed by us also has a dynamic background that changes as the storyline progresses.

How we built it

We have used HTML, CSS, JavaScript, typescript, react.js, and SQL to give features like loading and saving the game.

Challenges we ran into

Managing the loading screen experience both functionally and text/presentation-wise, was challenging. Making cohesive AI story content that is truly dynamic remains a challenge till now.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud of our immersive loading screen, the solid core functionality of the game, and the fact that we could make features like dictation and narration work! Our smart hint system noticeably improves the player experience. We're also proud that we could make it work in this short amount of time.

What we learned

We learned the importance of UI development with user feedback. We learned to balance decent performance with player experience.

What's next for Modern Text Adventure Engine

Future plans include extending the game world, complete AI story generation, and having perpetual game saves, combat systems, and future UI improvements.
