Intelligentia

In Intelligentia, you play a man, who lives on a nearly deserted island, with only 4 other people, where the rest of the inhabitants have already moved out. He decides he also must leave, so he can start a successful business and then move it to the island to make it appreciated again.

For doing that, he needs to get the keys to success: Patience, Confidence and Motivation. For getting these, he speaks with the people living on the island, who make him solve riddles, crack a code or find his way through a maze and then give him the key.

 Why the name? Well, I hope the puzzles will help make you more intelligent. I know, I'm not very creative with names, or art for that matter, as none of the art, graphics or sounds!, is mine. I just made the engine and the gameplay.  If it seems as though the story latched on and not meant to be there, it is. I just needed a story around the puzzle game, but it's not good or important.

Sorry for any bugs, but I hope that with help of this, my first game, I can find out what people consider to be more, or less important in games.

Why I made it in Java: When I started out programming, I did alot of Java game-dev tutorials. So I have alot of experience with this.

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR THE CODE:

Without wanting to spoil too much, it is important that this game was released on the 22nd of march 2020! At least one of these numbers is important!

Solution / Help with the riddles:

What word is least like the others: Zipper / Etchers / More: Zipper, you can make city names from the others.

What number best completes the following sequence: 1 2 4 7 ? 22: 16, you add 1, 2, 3, 4, 5… respectively to the proceeding number.

What number is one more than one tenth of one fifth of one half of 4000: 41 -> (4000 / 2 / 5 / 10) + 1 = 41

Mary likes cookies, but not cake, likes mutton, but not lamb, likes okra but not squash. Following the same rule, will she like cherries, cucumber or pears: cherries -> She only likes food with 2 syllables.

Take the number of total mittens 3 kittens lost, and multiply by the voting age in the U.S.. What is the answer: 216 -> 3 * 4 * 18 = 216 Kittens have 4 paws!

Code: KCOPGXTNGCXPI -> IAMNEVERLEAVING -> I am never leaving -> Take the letter’s number in the alphabet and go 2 back. 2 because the game was released on the 22nd.

I hop you’ll enjoy the game and I wish you a pleasant experience with my first significant try in this medium / form of art.

I wish you fun and a hard time with the puzzles!
