Same, I could play it if it was like nes pixel art even. But this looks like it was developed on windows 95 when only ascii art was available.
And the constant text updating you on what is around you bcz the graphics are so primitive.
Based on the description I thought it would be really interesting. But after watching a YouTube video, I was like, eehhhhh, not for me.
You couldn’t pay me to write a game in C today. Our expectations of what games have to be are sky high today. You cant get away with the productivity lost writing in c, maybe c++ since its supported by a number of engines. But, im personally not aware of a single engine that uses C. I tried my hand at writing a game without an engine, and it was a hot mess. Writing low level code to make a button with text, no thanks…been there done that, in my game, you could bump into trees and get stuck…not very fun in my opinion, and thats after a few months of writing code.
You know what, as long as its a once in a while thing. Dont sweat it. Judgy calorie counting apps can suck it. You do you!
Probably a good move on your part. When they try to force windows 11 on me, that’s when I will be moving to Linux.
Yes there absolutely was, probably actually before windows 95. But even in 95 there were a lot of crappy ascii art games bcz there wasn’t anything better technologically, so nobody would actually call it crappy.
