My proposal game!
polycounter lvl 8
Hi there, my name is Robert Fink.
I think I have a pretty unique story that I would like to shout out from the top of mountain, this mountain being the internet. This is the story of how I proposed to my woman friend of three years this last August 9th, 2013.
With the help of my awesome friends Ryan (Programmer) and Jack (Music) I made a small video game to propose to my lady, and disguised it as a play test for a game my work was making. The word small is used to describe the length of the game, but it didnt take a small amount of time or work, creating my vision for the perfect proposal.
Given, there are some bugs still, and it was a tough journey getting the Moai webplayer working to make the game playable in browser, much hard work from my friend Ryan. I just wanted to get to it because I am so excited for what people think about our story! haha.
You can read the whole story and even play the game at

We made this website some time after the proposal to share with the world. My fiance is a talented web developer and I a game artist, so this was a fun project to work on with her. We want to share our experiences and maybe inspire others to go above expectations to do something spectacular for their loved ones.
Stay Creative!
-Fink

Really cool of your friends to help you out like that, not that a good friend should do anything less
One more thing, I chose "yes" at the end, does that mean we are married now?
Nothing wrong about you, just don't think I am ready yet.
@Stromberg90
Unfortunately anyone who plays the game is now engaged to me, because there isn't actually a choice... haha.
@TrevorJ
Yeah I have seen a few game related proposals like that, but wanted to make something in the style of Super Mario World on the SNES since Angel loves those games.
so its a HTML5 game, may I ask what dev environment you guys have been using?
Moai sdk and lua is what my friend Ryan used. After talking with my friend about it, It would have been a lot easier to use unity to get it on the web, but we didn't decide to put on the web till after the fact. :P
No Radiancef0rge, you are not a dick, you just broke my heart...
J/k
cute game, best of luck you two.
I was thinking about doing an art project like that myself, but yeah, I had to break up with my girlfriend a few months ago. Oh well, your story, although I got a bit sad at first, still made my day! I wish you two all the best. :thumbup:
Good job on that; glad it went well, haha.
@kaptainkernals
Yeah if you walk left you fall off the world because... >.> I forgot to put collision there, haha. That is one of the bugs.
There is also a crappy bug where the sound freaks out after the first dialog box... We've had nothing but problems with the sound in the Moai web player
