Hello,
I’m getting ready to make my first game outside of a 4-room test game, and it’s going to be fairly large (at least for me). I’d like some tips on organizing it so that it doesn’t get confusing. As a web developer I’m aware that a manageable organization up front can make all the difference in not getting overwhelmed.
I’d love some suggestions on how others do it. This is what I’m leaning toward right now:
[map directions]
North of the Dining Room is the Kitchen.
East of the Kitchen is the Dining Room.
Etc
[rooms]
The Dining Room is a room.
“You are in a well decorated dining room with blah blah…”
The Kitchen is a room
“You are in a small kitchen with blah blah…”
[initial states]
The table is in the dining room.
The chair is in the dining room.
The refrigerator is in the kitchen.
The milk is in the refrigerator.
The sink is in the kitchen.
[every turn]
Instead of taking milk:
do whatever
etc
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!
