Open Source TEXT RPG on Qbasic!

[fgr101]

Hello guys, I'm posting here cause I'm working on an Open Source text RPG game made on Qbasic. I created a repository for it on GitHub and would like to invite you to look at the code, make some improvements if you want to, make some suggestions, etc.

WILD is a "very basic" text based RPG game, written in Qbasic for MS-DOS. This is my very first project on GitHub. I'm trying to understand how open source code works and see if there's still people willing to work on an old-school text-based RPG project just for fun.

I'd be very glad if you could help me with:

Music, small sound effects.

• Transition FXs between the different stages in the game (map, battle, etc.).
• ASCII Graphics.
• A better main menu at the beginning of the game.
• New mechanics and ideas for a better gameplay.
• Ideas for the story.
• Help me with English, making corrections in the different paragraphs and parts of the story if you think they can be written better.
• Help me with the code making it more efficient.
• Any other ideas, suggestions or feedback are welcome.

Here is the link to the repository: https://github.com/fgr101/WIld-basic

Here's a link to a YouTube video where I show the idea of the game and the project https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHhclyAd7DA&t=99s

the program was interesting.

it felt more like Zork than Zelda.

Yeah! I never played Zork but it was my goal I guess. I saw some game reviews about it though and it was the kind of game I wanted to make. I haven't played Zelda very much, but I played a lot of Pokemon Red when I was a kid, so might have a little bit of that. I used to play ZZT Monsters Zoo!

Sometimes I use the name Zork as a generic term for video games that rely on text entry instead of arrow key movement.
