Backed "Memories of Rainbird and Beyond Software" by Richard Hewison, a history of a British 1980s 8-bit software house. Including their ties with interactive fiction companies Level 9 and Magnetic Scrolls. Just a few hours left. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/zzap642021annual/memories-of-rainbird-and-beyond-software #80s #RetroGaming #VintageComputing #8bit #InteractiveFiction #Game

I'm working on an interactive-fiction game and I need some pixel art. I'm using AI generated art at the moment, but I would love to support a real artist instead. If you know anyone who might be interested, please let me know. I'm looking for 640x480 or smaller art at 256 colors. The game is based on the adventures of Robin Hood. This would be a paid gig as I plan to release the game on steam. #pixelart #interactivefiction @1Bit

Two doors, four addresses. Seems like a solid opening to an interactive fiction game. GET LAMP before you enter!

Is automatically storing a little bg autosave before a choice equivalent to letting readers roll backwards, or should I actually, specifically, let them literally, run that back...?

(From last night:)

The Visible Zorker project has just posted Starcross!

https://eblong.com/infocom/visi/starcross/

I am working through every Infocom text game, one per month, and creating an annotated playable version with source code and live tracing of all game activity. See how Infocom did it!

Depends a bit what one considers 'contemporary' or 'back in the day'. The ZX Spectrum +3 VM was released in 1999 by John Elliot, which is closer in time to the original VMs than it is to our present day, 27 years later.

This is the page of the ZX Spectrum +3 VM by its author, which I shared earlier:

Just added The Necrotics: Jace (the prequel to Troy) to itch for #NeoTwinyJam 2026.

Like with Troy, this is a very short game (500 words) and I only managed to add a single choice again. 😭

@root42 In order to run it you need a ZX Spectrum +3 or an emulator that can emulate the +3. Here is a disk image:

@root42 Hello! Indeed, Mini-Zork I was a thing in 1988, and it is a thing here, using the ZXZVM released in 1999 by John Elliot:

Noch mehr Twine-Workshops aus meinem Laboratorium für interaktive Geschichten und Spiele

Meine jüngsten Aktivitäten zu Twine, die auch der Tatsache geschuldet sind, daß ich einen Neustart meiner Tutorialreihe zu Twine plane, sind unser aller Datenkrake nicht verborgen geblieben und sie hat meinen Feedreader wieder mit einer Menge von Links zu Twine-Tutorials gefüttert. https://kantel.github.io/posts/2026062703_more_twine_workschops/ #Twine #Harlowe #SugarCube #InteractiveFiction #GameDev #GameDesign
