Void Pyramid

Post by Prime Pharaoh »

Greetings Scum:

I am the Prime Pharaoh, supreme ruler of Earth in the Ultimate Age. It disgusts me to address lowlifes like you, but I have traveled back through time with a message. On Thursday February 18th, a computer simulation called Void Pyramid will be released.

Void Pyramid will acclimate you to your future life of servitude. As one of my slaves, you will discover new realms of anguish and despair. This game will help desensitize you to your bleak fate.

Standby for further instructions.

The mummy army is a royal secret. Who told you of it? They will be tortured and executed.

Greetings unworthy subject. Your groveling is not pathetic enough. You are sentenced to exile in deep space.

Greetings Scum:

I, the Prime Pharaoh, return with another message. I have left the pleasurable company of my mutant harem to speak to you, so listen carefully.

Aside from my Palace of Living Flesh, the Void Pyramid is the ultimate creation of my empire. This spacefaring prison is home to criminals, dissidents, freakish monstrosities, and corrupt guards. Lowlifes like you will be at home. There are no cells. You are free to explore the pyramid's dismal confines and abuse your fellow prisoners. The only escape is death.

Oh, I am so pitiful! Oh, I am so unworthy!

Lower than the dust! Lower than the worms that crawl beneath the dust! So low, so low...

I shall now cry myself to sleep, as I do every night...

Greetings Mewling Worms:

It is I, the Prime Pharaoh, again. I just executed all my wives and I am tired, so I will make this brief. The Void Pyramid is policed by my most wicked agents. Their duty (and passion) is to cull the pyramid's population with acts of carnage.

Serket the Queen of Scorpions was once my lover. She tried to poison me, but was too beautiful to kill. Instead, I banished her to the Void Pyramid.

Anubis the King of Death is a son I sired with a jackal. Due to his bestial blood, he was too demented to raise as an heir. I banished him to the Void Pyramid as well.

Ammit the Devourer of Souls is a horrible monster from the depths of hyperspace. He has slaughtered whole armies. I hope that he will never return to Earth again.

Mr. Prime Pharaoh, your harshest critics are often heard complaining that your Void Pyramid project is a waste of tax payer money that is merely training your slaves and greatest enemies to be better equipped for an eventual uprising against your benevolent rule. How do you respond to these criticisms?

By “critics”, you must mean “Nubian spies”. Spreading Nubian propaganda is punishable by death. You have been warned.

In any case, those criticisms are unfounded. It is impossible for anyone to escape from the Void Pyramid, or so I’ve been told. They would have to overcome 36 chambers of deadly traps and vicious monsters, which is pretty unlikely.

A speaker is installed in the shadowy rafters of your prison vault. It comes alive with a burst of static. The man in the cell besides yours awakens and moans. The speaker blares an announcement.

"The Void Pyramid computer simulation will be released shortly. Following your prayers, download it without delay."

Void Pyramid is complete and ready to be played. Download it here on Slime Salad. I designed the game and sheakennedy made the graphics. We've been working hard for 18 months, so I hope you will take the time to give it a try.

Make sure to use the game.exe included in the download. I anxiously await your feedback, bug reports, and ideas for improvement. If you beat the game, I would love to see summary of your playthrough, including...

Your class:
How many treasures you found:
What special items you found: i.e. vibro, adrenal, seal, dream, ether
Your stats at the end of the game:
How long it took to beat:
Something you liked:
Something you hated:
Your favorite piece of music:
Your favorite enemy:

I am offering $20 to the first 5 players to beat the game and record a video of their entire playthrough. You do not need to record audio commentary with your mic if you do not want, just video is fine. Although, audio commentary would be great!

Thanks for playing! I am excited to hear your opinions!

I have been so excited for this game's full release since the early testing of it. Even replayed Ramble Planet to quench my thirst a bit. I loved it back then, and I can't wait to see what it's grown into. I plan on dropping all my other games for a while just to play through it.

I will make sure to take note of all of those things while playing through, but I don't know if I'll be able to record it. I'll have to figure out exactly how. My computer's software is kinda iffy.

EDIT: Are you going to release an Android version after bug testing and stuff? I was able to get a lot more people to play Ramble Planet when they could do it on their phones and not have to download it.

I was thinking of trying to record a new playthrough for this game (the test version was one of the first full playthroughs I've attempted to record, however long ago that was). My only concern is with the horrendous trouble I had in attempting to record Ruin last summer (now Macabre). I'm still not sure why had so many failures with that one. I can say that if this gives me even a whiff of trouble, I won't be recording this, either. But I can give it a try this weekend.

Having said that, I'm glad it's finally finished. I had a lot of fun with the test version.
