Hey everyone,

I'm working on turning Journey to the Center of Hawkthorne, featured in a recent episode of Community, into a real game. You can watch the episode on Hulu to get an idea of what the game will look like.

It's current state is very basic, but you can walk and jump around as Abed (a character on Community). Huge thanks to HardonCollider, anim8, and AdvancedTileLoader for making this game possible. The source is available on Github.

After watching that, I'll totally help with the programing. I'd like to make that custom scripting language :P

Man, I'd like to write that complex social system featured in the episode. (Hilda's parents are dead, and that has repercussions for her social status, for example.)

Might be AI-hard, but who cares?

Well, a bit as done in most roguelikes since background character stories usually mod initial and max stats and traits. Usually the "orphan" background profile in "band" series make influence in things like the charisma and perhaps other stuff like initial possessions. That episode was fun with nice gamegeek references.
