It begged people to not innovate anything, just rehash the same old stuff with a monster protagonist. That being said, I made a total of about 6 foundation code games, and scrapped them all, and threw this together in about 4 hours.  Hopefully December will have a better theme.  Also, for some reason, after importing them, the songs aren't looping properly, and I am out of time to fix them.\r\n\r\nWith that out of the way:  Welcome to The Life of an RPG Monster, a short satire detailing the lives (and deaths) and the countless trillions of nameless minions slain in RPG games.  \r\n\r\nInstructions:\r\nClick to advance the story\r\nUp\/Down on keyboard to navigate battle menu\r\nEnter to select an option in the battle menu\r\n\r\nI realize there is very little game play.  This is meant to be a sort of cross section of the RPG encounter system in video games, seen from the monster's perspective.  Thanks for playing, everyone :D","title":"The Life of an RPG Monster"}
