My name is Chris, I run an opensource software company in Cambodia. We've been pondering ways to make our website more unique. I've been nostalgically playing text based adventure games again, and really enjoying it. With a little effort, I can make our home page be an interactive text based game, something like this: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/44/4.3_BSD_UWisc_VAX_Emulation_Zork_Intro.png

Our "adventure" would start as you enter our office which probably resembles the basement from Ready Player One. We have video games scattered about, open pizza boxes, various team members programming and gaming, big movie style posters with each of our client work on it. As you interact with each of these elements, I will tell you about each one, with a simple 2-3 decision tree matrix for each one. Eventually, those decisions should lead to game over or a contact form, but we should find creative fun ways for the user to experience that loop in a none-discouraging way. Simplicity is key, people don't read *too much* online, but I feel we can make a fun impactful short story.

Overall, this is less about making a full game as a demonstration of creative storytelling online. If it becomes engaging, I anticipate we will probably build this into a full animated experience. I have not worked with creative writers very much beyond techincal and SEO writing, happy to receive guidance on the work needed. Look forward to hearing from you!

Love,

Chris Luke
