Hello,
I was thinking about making a text based game. A hybrid of classics like Zork or Hobbit and point and click games. You would get a description of world in text and stuff that you could interact with would be underlined (or something else) and after clicking on it you would get a list of possible actions - i am not a fan of typing hundreds of possible actions and objects i would prefer to add more useless objects (so it wouldn't be too easy and straight forward) into game but with clear possible actions.
In my opinion you can express yourself and your ideas better in a text than by drawing, especially if you are not good artist.
Nova days players are lazy and like shiny things and this leads to my main concern and question for you. Do you think people would play this type of game nova days (if it was good) ? or lack of any graphics would be a wall for them. Would you play it ?
