Lightbulb VGF ADVENTURE GAME (concept)

So, I've had this idea for a while. I will draw the screens and results for a PC-style adventure game. I describe and draw the area you are in, including the player's character, and post the images upon deciding how events are affected by your decision. Kind of like the oldschool King's Quest-style adventure games, where you give a command like >PICK UP HAT or >LOOK WEST.

You make choices based on your surroundings and preference (or insanity, however you see it), and I depict the results by way of sketching. Savvy?

The reason why I am making this topic beforehand is because I want to see how much interest I will gather. I don't want to feel like an idiot, drawing pictures for one or two people: we need a bunch of people to participate to really make it work.

Opinions/ideas?

Reason why I expect this to succeed: Only requires input from the participants, and my dedication. Speaking of dedication; I might create a dedicated site for it, while holding the game here.

Might take a while to organize. I'll probably create a basic map to follow, if nothing else.

Interested. Will there be simultaneous games? (i.e., players being able to see other players) Or will we all just vote on what one character does?

Sounds pretty cool. I'm interested. I'll probably "join" after watching how it goes for others, I guess.

This sounds like a thoroughly awesome idea.

Here's a funny example of free-form-ness applied to the adventure game concept (took place in a 3D program help channel): BlendeRPG - Blender Artists Forums

I'm just going to try it with one character first. I'm not sure a vote would work, seeing how hard it is for VGF to come to a concensus. I might just pick the first response I get, as long as it's legible

Anyone have a preference between color or black + white? Color will take longer, or have less detail.
