1NS0MN1A: a new BBS adventure game is now LIVE! reddit / bbs ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ShooterJennings · 2021-01-10 19:35 1NS0MN1A v1.0 is now LIVE! I'd like to introduce you all to my newest BBS game, 1NS0MN1A! Part of the BCR Games server, 1NS0MN1A is a very large multiplayer adventure game containing numerous puzzles, quests, items, enemies & locations to explore. ways to play: 1. Connect via telnet or dial-up to any BBS that carries the BCR Games Server (bitsunrise.com port 23 is the master system) 2. Connect directly to the BCR Games Server (or add it to your BBS system) by connecting via telnet to bcrgames.com port 31337 3. Visit www.bcrgames.com and connect via the web. (this is not recommended, as the web telnet terminal is quite slow at redrawing) The game tells the story of Howard Steams, an aging SysOp who has been engulfed in his own madness. Howard, in his mental decay, has captured his life along with haunting dreams of the "Man in the Multi-colored Suit" and programmed it into the world of the Spiral Dominion. It is your job to take a trip into this mystical world and solve the riddle of Howard's madness, as well as take ownership of the Spiral Dominion. Those who complete 1NS0MN1A will be able to gain control of the world and choose to help or hurt other players along the way. 1NS0MN1A contains hundreds of unique enemies and items, a crafting system, multi-player battles, co-op quests and more along the way! 1NS0MN1A was inspired by many other BBS games, trying to take the genre to a new place by twisting many of the BBS game tropes we've all come to know so well .You never die in 1NS0MN1A, so there is no limit to the amount of time you play. Once you've been killed, you're taken to The Nightshade, where you will have to battle to gain HP and return to the land of the living. 1NS0MN1A uses a turned-base battle system, much like other BBS games of the past for the Non-Playable Enemies. 1NS0MN1A also has a real- time battle/healing system for multi-player interaction. Note: 1NS0MN1A has been completed in Alpha testing, and now we've entered the official "Beta" phase. Most of the functions of the game have been tested, all quests have been completed multiple times and the game is in full working functionality, however, if you encounter any bugs or in-game issues, we're standing by to fix them and improve the game as you play it. 1NS0MN1A was programmed by Shooter Jennings and all the ANSI art was done by Luciano, MISFIT & Dark Rebellion (blocktronics) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2021-01-10 20:31 [deleted] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Kirkman14 · 2021-01-10 22:03 I was an alpha tester on this, and got pretty deep into it before life pulled me away. Gotta get back into it and finish it off! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- nanonomad · 2021-01-11 01:19 This might be a dumb question, but roughly how much time a day would you say youd need to dedicate to really dig in and enjoy it? (I'm one of those read every note and screen game players) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- WhippingStar · 2021-01-11 17:39 First of all this looks awesome, second my mind is a little blown that this is from Shooter Jennings. Shooter is a BBS nerd, who knew(obviously not me). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- dmine45 · 2021-01-11 18:41 Yeah, who would have thought that an Outlaw Country artist is also a BBS nerd and door game writer? :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ShooterJennings · 2021-01-11 20:54 I will say that a dedicated gamer who has played my games took about 3-4 months to get to the last battle... I built it to encourage long play sessions, so I think I’d make sure you have a few hours to dig in when you start. It’s not a “play for 10 minutes a day” kind of game. Hopefully you’ll get into the story and the quests. A pen and paper is recommended. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ShooterJennings · 2021-01-12 01:10 Thanks for the gold! I appreciate everybody trying the game out so far! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- gnu2tux · 2021-01-28 13:13 This game is seriously rad! It is featuring in the upcoming next part of the BBS Documentary, "Back to the BBS". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- dgtlmoon123 · 2021-02-20 10:44 The website is down :( ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ShooterJennings · 2021-02-21 01:42 Up now, thanks! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2021-02-21 13:30 [deleted]
