Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came [Fantasy][Short]

#1 Post by spiral »

A playable version of the first few stanzas of Robert Browning's atmospheric fantasy poem. VERY short, but I'm quite happy with how the art came out and thought people might find it interesting. Created for the Coursera course on Online Games: Literature, New Media, and Narrative.

The art suits the story very well!
-- Are you planning on continuing and doing the whole poem? I'd love to see what you'd do with the rest. Do you plan to eventually add music and atmospheric sound effects? (Wind blowing, crows cawing...?)

Thank you!

No, I'm not planning on continuing it. Though you have me thinking about sound effects now, hmm...

I played this little game, and so far I've only gotten 2 endings:
the one where you replace the ghost and the one where you decide to go on the path and the game suddenly ends. Are these the only endings?
Also, I read the poem, and I like how you used the first line of it: "My first thought was, he lied in every word", heh. :wink:
My first completed visual novel, which is at 1.3, it's final version(woo hoo!): Monster Uses CPU 2
Finally at version 1.0: White Fog

You might ask yourself: If I could only save one paragraph of the work I'm writing, which one would I save?
Which one would I let go first?

The story is very lovely and you have good taste on choosing art style.
It would be lovelier if, as OokamiKasumi said, you add sound effect and music in. Other than that, great release for a story <3
