ANN: PowerPoint Game - Eternal Escape (PPTH Update)

[tohlz]

Eternal Escape is a PowerPoint graphic adventure game (an escape the room
genre) well inspired by MOTAS. In this game, you are required to solve the
puzzles and riddles provided and make use of objects you found to escape from
locked rooms. Story will continue to progress as the level increases. More
rooms and levels were be added from time to time.

Storyline: Your role as a young and intelligent scientist, who has been
spending years researching on perfect eternity formula. One day, you have
been kidnapped by some mysterious guys. When you are awake, you found
yourself trapped in a room. You tried escaping. Not knowing the reason of the
kidnapping, you soon realize that ransom is not what they want...

Available in .pps (requires PowerPoint 2002/XP and above) and .exe (users
w/o PowerPoint 2002/XP and above) format.

Shawn,
I downloaded and tried your game. Quite a challenge! You are
very talented in working with PowerPoint. However, lately, I have seen
PowerPoints, videos, games, etc. developed by truly creative people. In
the text portions of their programs, yours included, there are many
grammatical mistakes. For me, this ruins the imact of the presentation.
As a former teacher, for 33 years, I would be glad to help anyone edit
the text parts of their presentations for correctness. I am not perfect
myself, but I think I could help.

Examples: In the ribbon across the bottom of your start screen, you have
the sentence: "More rooms and levels were added in the future." Wrong
tense of the verb is being used here. It shoud read: "More rooms and
levels will be added in the future."

After clicking start, the first screen shows a paragraph with the
following as the first sentence: "Your role as a young scientist, who
has been spending years researching on project eternity formula." This
is not really a sentence. It also has the incorrect use of a comma.
Should it be: "Your role is as a young scientist who has been spending
years researching on a project for the eternity formula."? I'm not sure
about this one.

I realize that you and other developers might not have English as the
native language. Again, please accept my thanks and congratulations on
developing such fascinating presentations. I am not trying to be
critical, but I would like to assist anyone who thinks I could help.

Thanks for reading my response.
