The Mamertine - showcasing the VIBAE 2 engine

Hello followers,

Develpment of VIBAE 2 has been slow and arduous and I am still a way off having something that is worth a public release, however I have developed a working (largely bug free) game to showcase the engine. I have also entered this game into the Spring Thing 2023 interactive fiction competition.

So far the main aspects of the engine I wanted to impliment are more or less in place:

* Custom verbs rather than a fixed set of verbs

* A more rational data system for programming game objects that uses JSON

* A GUI based data editor (still only partially developed and tested)

* A journal mechanic

* The ability to have relative as well as absolute directions for the player to navigate the game world and have passage descriptions reflect that.

Hope you enjoy checking out the project so far, KVella
