Walkthrough and Map added
For the completionists out there, here's a walkthrough and map of Luster, a game from the 2011 IFComp that didn't quite offer a solution and had a few trappy bits. Since it seemed a lot of people got stuck, I decided to give it a go--and finally got it, on my not-first try!
The walkthrough contains some commentary on bugs but I hope it is not vicious. The intent is more maybe to show ways to look for your own bugs, or maybe figure how a game might've forgotten to implement things, whether testing or judging. I think we've all made the sorts of mistakes noted in the walkthrough if we've tried to write a game.
I haven't seen this sort of announcement much at IFDB, and I don't really have a website of my own to dump files like this on, so I hope this sort of announcement is kosher.
Map with trizbort http://trizbort.genstein.net/, game disassembly thanks to this thread: http://www.intfiction.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=12195
Happy gaming!
