FreeBASIC Text Game - Poetry (Workshop Simulator)Hello, I'm working these days on completing an old game of mine called "Poetry" (or poetry workshop simulator) in FreeBASIC I guess you could say it's probably the most dull, dry, and boring text game ever coded - just text and audio of dialogues between four characters that come together for a six-poetry workshop meetings to read a bunch of poems and discuss them, and on the way, tell about their life - plus the option for the player to write in a primitive notepad notes or poems and at the end have some sort of "poetry reading with text to speech" the poems they selected and finished with some applause. - That's it, that's the whole game. It looks more like an interactive audiobook than a game, and unless you are really hardcore into poetry, you probably won't want to play it... Coding is slow and boring, I can't wait just to finish it, so I can say I finished it So far, the folder of the game is about 46 MB in size. I wish to ask if, once finished (will probably reach 120-140 MB in size), I will be able to upload it here for folks to download and play it? I don't like itch.io or GitHub, however, I have both as options - remember this is a freebasic homebrew text game, no fancy graphics, no fancy sound (but also no copyrighted materials) What are the rules of uploading a full game to this forum? And how can you do so (I guess I should just read the FAQ's and not sound like an impatient newbie) Thank you... |

The uploader is limited to about 15Mb or thereabouts. (Smaller files makes hosting so much easier. Imagine if my 900+ games were each that big! Crikey!!!) The site also doesn't do download counts or anything like that, so you won't be able to get any stats whatsoever. Left sidebar has a "Your Uploads" thing, or alternatively there's shortcut Uploads like right above the reply box. But, yeah, the size limit is a fair amount smaller than you're asking for. Alternative.. If you have a Google account, you can host things via Google Files. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
