Ascension - Text Adventure RPG

Not so much a finished project as one that I finally polished up, cleaned up, and packaged for release.

Ascension was my Grade 12 programming final project. It's a text RPG, I don't know what to compare it to, really, the primary influence was Skyrim, but obviously not for gameplay. It has a somewhat open, but very small and copypasted world, and a branching storyline. I thought the story was good, but YMMV of course. Overall it's not as good as I wanted it to be, missing a lot, but keep in mind other people handed in dungeons that took five minutes to go through for the same assignment. If you know exactly where you're going and don't read anything, you can finish this one in twenty minutes or so. Source is included, but it's incredibly scary and I don't recommend looking at it.

If you're interested, or even if you're not, give it a shot. Written in Java, works on Windows and Linux, probably on Mac as well but I haven't tried it. Someday, I would like to turn this concept into a real game- well, technically this is a real game, but you know what I mean.

As an aside, does anyone know of a better place to release this?
 
It's not missing a lot of things that I couldn't figure out how to code in, just missing a lot of stuff that I didn't have time to do and decided to cut. Like no actual dungeon crawling, less dialog, more static followers, that sort of thing. Yeah, I could add these things in, but perfection is the greatest enemy of close enough so to speak.
 
I ported it to Android (badly).

You can grab it from Google Play. The PC version is at version 1.4 now, which has significant changes to the game text (but the music still doesn't work properly :dah: ).

No, there is not and there will never be an iOS port, so don't ask for one.

Oh yeah and it has a proper web page now: http://xcvgsystems.net/?page_id=12
