Fire-and-forget games
« on: September 22, 2009, 04:33:52 pm »
For all of you ProgressQuest fans out there, I found another game you may like: Miller's Quest!

I've had this sitting on my hard drive for a few weeks but I just now fired it up. After an hour or so, I am now a level 4 Alliterative Worminator Soccerer. I've completed such engaging quests as "destroy a nasty forum troll" and "locate a telescope."

While these aren't exactly fun to play as there is no human interaction, I find it amusing to check in now and then to see what I'm mercilessly beating over the head with my ice titanium twig +35. Despite having an average intelligence of 10, Urist knows two spells: Greydy's Clever Tax Evasion 1 and Jaegermaister's Fine Abjuration 3.

I tried to play chess but two of my opponents were playing competitive checkers as a third person walked in with Game of Thrones in hand confused cause they thought this was the book club.

I could probably translate bits to Java, but that's probably no good either.

Forget that. I just found some Ruby cross compiler script. I'll see if it works and upload it somewhere.

Forget that, too... It's not actually a cross compiler. I don't want to install Ruby on my Windows box and I'm fairly sure you guys don't use Linux, so it would be of no use to you.

There's no GUI and the manual states how super easy hacking the saves are (more like open up the plaintext saves in your word processor than hacking), but yes. They're pretty much the same.
