A New Challenger Appears!

So I was at the arcade playing "Super Text TF Extreme Championship Edition", when up walks Tacoking.  He plunks in two quarters, selects 'Pornarium' and thoroughly whomps me!   Turns out I'm not as good at made up arcade machines as I thought.

Ahhh, awful arcade analogies and alliterations aside, Tacoking's terrific transformation themed game is pretty sweet.  It is still a work in progress and has it's fair share of bugs, but given the short development cycle the progress is amazing.   The best description I can give it is if my game and the slavemaker game engine had a baby.   Walls of text + hot hentai pics?  Win!   My only gripe is that I feel like I'm fighting with the user interface half the time when I'm playing.  Still, swing by his blog and give it a spin if your looking for something new to try!

In other news, MoT whipped me up a nice lil image of Jojo with a controller to post when I'm livestreaming gaming, though I'm hanging back on posting it now as it's still very sketchy and I'm not sure if he's going to refine it any more.

Also, I finally blew up at my significant other today and I'm just taking a wait and see option with it now.  I was pretty close to walking out.   Thankfully I channeled that into renewing my gym membership and now I hurt all over.  Horray for being productive.

There will be a livestream starting sometime between 9-10 central time tonight  I have nothing pending so I'll probably try to write a bit, then fire up Crysis and shoot some Koreans.

EDIT: Gah, sorry I left the link up.  I was drinking last night.

  1. Thanks for the mention Fenoxo :). It is a bit buggy but I think in time it's going to be a great game. I agree though, my UI is a bit odd but I'll improve it with time. Thanks for making Corruption of Champions, it was a major influence for me!

    Keep up the good work, Fenoxo, you furry bastard.

  4. Cheers mate! Both for the shoutout and for confronting your girlfriend. From what I've gathered, your relationship sounds slightly unhealthy, with you suffering the most. Here's to hoping it works out for the best! *Insert picture of beer here*

  6. I like that game.

    I'm sad that there are only 3 of these in the entire internets.

  7. There used to be two, then before that, one. And before that again, just half of a game...

    We're getting somewhere :)

    But yeah, you truly sparked something Fenoxo, picking up the mantle of text transformation games, so to speak, after the hyper multi text based adventure.

    Seriously, you deserve a cookie for that. *Gives Fen a cookie*

  8. Should stick one of the links to Tacoking in your Important Links section ;3

    You really have started something, I believe that even more text adventure games will be coming up soon.

    The concept of a text based transformation game can be applied in many ways, from Flash as you and Xadera have proven, to Visual Basic as Tacoking as shown, and a python based adventure in a terminal window would be plausible too when you think about it.

    Heck, if I wasn't busy with college (summer semesters, bleh) I'd look into making one of those myself.
