Here fun facts about myself will be displayed.
FUN FACT: My username comes from my favorite video game console, the Nintendo 64.
FUN FACT: My favorite Nintendo 64 game was Super Mario 64.
Here less fun but still informative facts will be displayed.
LESS FUN BUT STILL INFORMATIVE FACT: I had an account before this one, but stopped going on the site several years back. By creating a new account I hope to re-energize [sic?] my interest in creating story games, and also increase the quality of my story games. Any critiques or recommendations are much appreciated!

FUN FACT: My profile has come to an end.
Storygames
Just yesterday you were a humble peasant happily enjoying vacation in your hillside summer cottage. Now your vacation has come to a horrible end, when a mysterious figure known as the Quest Master arrives at your doorstep, steals your inheritance, and kidnaps your first born son. In order to rescue said inheritance you must play the Quest Master's horrific game of puzzles, fetch quests, and long strings of meaningless text. Oh, and your first born son. You want to rescue him too.
This game was inspired by those old-school text adventures, specifically, a parody of said adventures, Peasant's Quest (from homestarrunner.com). Enjoy!

I've been fiddling around with the Script Editor trying to create a map system in which empty spaces are filled in as you visit new areas. To experiment I set up the following:
BEGIN
$PAGETEXT := "MAP TIME"
IF
%BLACKSMITH = 1
THEN
$PAGETEXT := $PAGETEXT + " PARTY ON!"
IF
%COTTAGE = 1
THEN
$PAGETEXT := $PAGETEXT + "
" + " HECK YEAH!!"
END
Once both COTTAGE and BLACKSMITH were set to 1 the page would read:
MAP TIME PARTY ON!
HECK YEAH!!
...instead of what I was hoping it would read,
MAP TIME PARTY ON!
HECK YEAH!!
I've tried various things such as putting " " + " " + " " + " " ...etc., but so far nothing has worked. Does anybody know how to set this up? Examples would be much appreciated.
Thanks for your time and help,
