dnkyboi
'11

Splash

• Flash-based side-scrolling action adventure RPG (unfinished)
• Under development in part to test the design flexiility of the "WTF?! SDK"
• A single character is available in the demo, "dnkyboi," though multiple playable characters are supported

Entry

• The game starts with dnkyboi in his "pad"
• "cncrgrl" enters the scene

Dialog

• Dialog can be scripted, and responses randomized
• Afer a bit of arguing, cncrgrl leaves

SMS

• cncrgrl sends dnkboi an SMS
• She needs him to go on a quest to get some groceries
• Note how dnkboi's shadow tends to have a mind of its own (it is in fact a unique character that can communicate with him)

Quest Pop

• cncrgrl comes back to see if dnkyboi's accepted his quest
• The green "!" indicates his quest is still available

Quest UI

• Clicking dnkyboi opens a quest pane allowing the quest to be accepted or rejected

Quest Accept

• dnkyboi accepts, and cncrgrl now awaits the quest completion, indicated by the grey "!"

Components

• Like "WTF?!," dnkyboi includes help screens, inventories, a quest log, a context map, a character and equipment pane, drag and drop action bar hot keys, preferences, time of day and weather, scripted dialog, and so much more...

Zone

• dnkyboi zones out of his pad to find the grocer

Vending Machine

• Along the way dnkyboi finds a vending machine with enticing items
• He rather impulsively buys some fireballs, along with some tea, one of the items cncrgrl requested

Grocer NPC

• dnkyboi has finally found the grocer
• Various goods are available for purchase, assuming dnkyboi has enough money left

Broke

• dnkyboi gets most of the remaining items on cnrgrl's list
• Uh-oh, because of his fireball purchase, dnkyboi does not have enough money for Muesli

Spellcast

• dnkyboi's finds a newspaper machine and starts to cast a fireball
• With a little luck some change might fall out (so he can go back for the Muesli)

Fireball

• He belches some fire
• Note the cooldown timer on the action bar, and the reduction of dnkyboi's energy upon casting

Preferences

• Various things can be flagged on/off such as background music and event sounds, detail of particle effects, day/night and weather cycles, floating combat text display

Character Pane

• Here in the character pane is where found gear is displayed
• Poor dnkyboi is severely underequipped at the moment
• I forget what the pink tab in the character UI was supposed to do... maybe a talent tree or enhanced stats display

Quit

• dnkboi's had enough for now
• The player can quit with or without saving
