I had about 5 hours of time over the wekend to write this... most of that time was spent improving the engine. It's a LPC-MUD inspired engine that uses Lua instead of LPC, and is single player. I had fun, and I know it wont score well, but I don't care about that. Enjoy and have fun!"},{"author_name":"Endurion","author_uid":"103","time":"Aug 26, 2013 @ 7:35am","epoch":1377502200,"text":"Aww, dang.

The game kinda freaked out when I entered just 'me' and 'move' with no destination. I guess my gripe with this game would be that it's too hard to figure out what I can and cannot do with the world. The majority of the combinations I tried turned over no results and so it turned into a guessing game. Then again I never play text adventures so ignore me if there are more understood rules at play here. Too bad because I wanted to explore this world."},{"author_name":"BleuLlama","author_uid":"1591","time":"Aug 30, 2013 @ 6:52pm","epoch":1377888420,"text":"No. your concerns are valid.

There's quite a bit of mood here, and I like the idea of the device, but unfortunately I have no idea how to complete the game. I figured out what the device does, but I don't know which way to go.\r\rImplementing more verbs might be a good idea for the future. Once more, I'm impressed by anyone who develops a homebrew text adventure engine."},{"author_name":"porglezomp","author_uid":"21051","time":"Sep 7, 2013 @ 10:47pm","epoch":1378593720,"text":"Awesome that you have a raspberry pi version!

I couldn't tell when I'd done something that worked or not :) Also I found a couple of bugs - e.g., try typing "me" or "use music"."}],"images":["ld27\/1591-c80a3420b423a9e2de6f33ea84171ba5.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/s\/k36ldldcru53wsz\/game_2013-08-25_2059.zip","text":"OS\/X"},{"url":"https:\/\/github.com\/BleuLlama\/Prosser","text":"Source (Github)"},{"url":"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/s\/i1937q9nptecbpk\/TheLodge_Linux.zip","text":"Linux"},{"url":"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/s\/ds7difhhh5afi33\/TheLodge_Windows.zip","text":"Windows"},{"url":"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/s\/mty84af5lt40vt7\/TheLodge_RasPi.zip","text":"Raspberry Pi"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"23039","g_author":"1591","g_event":"LD27","g_eventkey":"18","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"23069","g_title":"The Lodge","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"99999","g_commentcount":"14","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/273708\/1591-shot0.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"The Lodge is a Twin Peaks-themed text adventure.\r\n\r\nYou are in The Lodge.
