Free Release: Cup Quest

Made another Twine-Game that is large enough to be called a full release. Cup Quest takes place in a maze (that isn't randomly generated for a change – although the original map was made rolling dice). It's suitable for even the youngest players if they can read. I suggest you draw a map of the maze if you want to have any chance of beating the game.

Crafting: Cup Quest

When a colleague accidentally destroyed my mug at work, I was distraught: It had been a gift from my wife for my first ever father's day as a dad (which is, what it said on the mug: "DAD". I had defended it fiercely against other people in our office). I had get myself a replacement. I decided to design one myself, like I had done for my son: Get a blank steel mug and etch something into it using my power tool. While his cup got the logo of his then favorite TV show, I wanted to make something gamey for myself.

This is Cup Quest. It's a game you can play on your mug, using, as my son pointed out, just your finger. I even fitted the entirety of the rules onto the cup along with the maze. Now, it's just a maze with several different points you need to go to but my four-year-old likes it and it looks cool enough at the office. Also it's a little show-off in simplicity of game design: You could fit the rules into an original-length tweet three times over.

Now you're in luck, dear fives of readers: In order to keep my meager coding muscles from total atrophy, I decided to make a Twine version of Cup Quest. So you can play the game as well, from the comfort of your computer, perhaps with less graphics but with a lot more words instead. Stay tuned for a release extremely soon!
