THAT'S ENOUGH RIDDLE SCHOOL GAMES DUDE.
Well, it's quite simple actually.
RIDDLE SCHOOL 1/2 INFO
riddle school 1.5 (or 1 1/2) is a game in which you escape school.
for some context, this game is based on the original riddle school which came out all the way back in 2006. the original creator was only 11 when he made it. hopefully that explains the shoddy art. anyways, the time between riddle school 1 and riddle school 2 was actually very short, with 1 releasing in june and 2 releasing in october. so i proposed myself a challenge to make up an artstyle inbetween these two artstyles. thankfully, luck was on my side as this game's artstyle wasnt as hard to get down as riddle university's, which in the case of that game i had to recreate an entire artstyle from one room drawing and a few animations.
this game was made for the 19th anniversary of riddle school, coming out the same day as the original. i've always wanted to make a game like this anyways as you can see with riddle university.
the game takes place right after phil escaped school in the original game, and richy has been in after-school detention due to him leaving post as hall guard in the original game. original game original game original game. Anyways... youre locked in the school due to security measures. OH NOES!.
BEHIND THE SCENES
fun fact: this game wasn't even going to BE a full game, it was quite literally only going to be riddle school but richy as the main character. the puzzles would be the same, so would the graphics.
i still have this build of the game as for some reason i was dumb enough to save it in the actual riddle school file slot. someday i may release this as it's fully playable. anyways i was able to lock in and realised that i could probably make an entire game in that timeframe, instead of making it a character swap. this would later come to be of course or this wouldn't be here. the inspiration for this being made was a game made in scratch i had played a while ago in which 5 has to escape school... after hours. i believe it was called riddle school aftermath but i may be wrong. anyways, i stole that idea and made new puzzles aswell as new dialogue and so on.
i then made the descision to make greg sleep, the person who always sleeps, wake up. honestly i didn't really want to do this, but when youre working with so few characters i kind of had to. also, who would be in the school this late anyways?
besides i realised that greg also looked like phil, and that's where the "janitor really hates phil" idea came from. the whole reason for that is that the janitor gave phil an item that he deliberately used to escape, and then most likely stole the dollar from chubb and bought cheesy pencils or something. anyways, he hates phil with a deep passion. that's the reason i thought of the make greg look like phil thing.
anyways development was very smooth, nothing bad really happened... actually it was quite boring.
its kind of weird to say... but thats it. thats everything. this is because i went on holiday RIGHT after i finished the game, so when i got back i could quickly upload it on the exact minute the original riddle school was posted. there really wasn't any issues. (i mean there were, somehow someone was able to softlock the game and i have no idea how. i have to assume it involves being sooooooooooooo smart that youre smarter than me and can find things i cant find)
when people ask "what are you gonna do next??" i say
currently, ive basically forgotten all of my actionscript knowledge lol. ALTHOUGH i have been thinking about a plants vs zombies type game i could probably try get done for flash forward 2026. idk, probably wont happen though as right now im more into learning luascript. wow! im sooooo smart.
if i do make another riddle school related game though, itll be the last one i make.
