The Game Of Hint (development stopped)

[Piestar]

Okay folks, this is my first shot at this, so be gentle...

Hope that works...

EDITED this is the current copy - I reduced the number of territories to 42, and I neatened up some boundarys.



This was version two. I tried to make the text more legible, found a better format to copy it to, and I labeled the weapons.





Still need to name the territories... but I'm already up two hours past my bedtime.

why not just make a bonus for having a person, a weapon, and a room? more XML but in the game you are coming from you could combine any of them lol

[yeti_c]

Hmmm is this the equivalent of Cluedo?

[Piestar]

No Yeti, it's as different from Cluedo as Conquer Club is from RISK.

hehehe... yes, keen eye, that was the idea.

Herrakilla - It's all up to discussion obviously, at this point, my main question is it it even worth doing XML for. In addition, I wasn't sure how XML would deal with that kind of open ended bonus. What if you had two suspects, a murder weapon and a room? Would you get double bonus? Nothing extra?

Gimil - well then, I guess it was okay, thanks!

this is supreme.

Looks like a rip-off from clue

[Aerial Attack]

Pie,

Looks fairly decent. The question is - is Clue a Hasbro product? After all, the site's hitting them hard so far - why not continue that pattern *wink*?

1) You have to name all of the terrs that don't have pictures.

2) You need a new picture for Den - while a nice picture, it will confuse people with the Bear Attack picture

3) The "weapons" don't currently have places for their labels. True, if you READ the legend you can figure out what each picture is. But, since this is the large map, the fonts and the pictures will be smaller on the small map. Actually the fonts are a bit blurry as is - you need to sharpen them and don't make them any smaller.

Not bad so far - keep going.

I'm concerned about ownership for all the pictures used.

[The Weird One]

new and different photos could be found easily.

[Kaplowitz]

Right now its very busy, i cant see the teritory lines.

[Anarkistsdream]

All I can say is I love Guru Grape... Just the name is hilarious, but the pic does it for me.

[Herakilla]

why not expand it so you can add 3 more weapons and make those along with the rooms that arent being used (home office, gameroom, and toilet)

[Herakilla]

*add to my last post* (too lazy to edit)

i dont mean add more people, just add weapons and make them a small bonus perhaps, a little something to go for

[yeti_c]

I have to say - I love the level of humour you have in this...

Tidy this up and it could be great!!

Can do... will hit it tonight...

2) You need a new picture for Den - while a nice picture, it will confuse people with the Bear Attack picture

Crud, I liked the bear skinned run as the Den. What if I changed the weapon to a Rhino attack? What else would symbolize a den?

3) The "weapons" don't currently have places for their labels. True, if you READ the legend you can figure out what each picture is. But, since this is the large map, the fonts and the pictures will be smaller on the small map. Actually the fonts are a bit blurry as is - you need to sharpen them and don't make them any smaller.

Yes I noticed, not sure why, but converting the image to a JPG always seems to blurry it up. Can anyone reccomend a really cleam font, that converts well? As to the weapons, ack, obviously correct. Perhaps a number key? A list of the weapons, with a number that coresponds to the weapon?

Not bad so far - keep going.

Thanks!

I'm concerned about ownership for all the pictures used.

I was very careful to only use pictures I purchased, and all have been labeled as public domain. If I couldn't find a picture I wanted, then I would change what I wanted. Nothing off the web.

Right now its very busy, i cant see the teritory lines.

Not sure what I can do about the 'busy', but I will make the lines more visible.

If I broke the rooms up into 2-4 areas, I could make the hallway spaces bigger. Would that be a good idea?

I see your point, but this is a parody, as such, I want to keep the resemblence to the original as close as I can.

I have to say - I love the level of humour you have in this...

Tidy this up and it could be great!!

Thanks Yeti_c!

You could add people or things from CC in that map. Next to the dungeon have ms. wicked, the computer could have mr. lack, instead of that brown bear you could have a polar bear, maybe that observatory could tie in with the space map, and I'm not seeing where the "weapons" are. I can look again though.

This could be a cool map after tweeking with it.

I thought about adding the CC content, but didn't want to do it without seeing if the Mods etc. think it's a good idea. (Not sure how much Ms. Wicked wants to be connect to the dungeon... hehehe...)

The weapons are little cards around the maps, the borders of the pics are color coded to the suspect they are connected to, for a bonus. I need to make them more visible.

Have you seen her mod name?? haha "Forum Dominatrix"

[Herakilla]

if you want to keep it close but not the same why not use weapons like

the pipe of smashingness

candlestick of burningnation

wrench of fixin your head

innacurate pistol

pre-noosed rope

dagger of backstabbing

lol i may or may not be drunk and tired right now

[Piestar]

At what point will I know if this map has a reasonable chance of being accepted? Will someone tell me right out that it isn't worth finishing up? Just curious...

[Piestar]

Safe to assume the interest in this map is insufficent? Should I ditch it?

[Piestar]

Version three of the map up. Fewer territories, hopefully less busy-busy...

[oaktown]

I've always been a fan of board game mash-ups. Do it.

And if you'd like to share this idea with the general C public I encourage you to post a description of the map at:
