  1. Playing Catacombs on my Commodore PET. Published by Super soft in 1981. Possibly one of the first British written text adventures.

    I moved around a bit and asked for my score.

    This seems prescient.

  6. @kyonshi I looked around at various lists of best loved Infocom adventures and added them to my plan (dropbox.com/scl/fi/z1xo8c163g5). I have found a friend willing to play through them with me, so I'm going to start off with another crack at Zork, invisiclues in hand - even though it's probably not the best it's just so influential and I really want that context.

  11. Mistodon: looking for representation from the non-fiction field for last month's new literary MIST0426 artpack collection, Cthulu opted to make an #ANSIart adaptation of the maze-like cover art to @nickmofo 's 2005 history of the #textadventure computer game genre, #TwistyLittlePassages.

  13. Mit „The Hobbit“ veröffentlichte Melbourne House 1982 ein illustriertes Textadventure, das seiner Zeit weit voraus war. Auf Basis des Romans von J.R.R. Tolkien erwartet den Spieler eine abenteuerliche Geschichte und eine spannende Schatzsuche. Dieser Artikel ist ein Deep Dive in die Geschichte des Spiels mit ganz viel Hintergrund.

  14. My #InteractiveFiction disasterpiece, the aggressively awful yet sincerely huggy Treasures of a Slaver's Kingdom, celebrates its 18th birthday today!

    If you've never played a text adventure before, this free game will give you the wrong idea about them in ways that may never fully heal. If you've played ToaSK already, Gunwar and Vessa have _missed you._ Come home, barbarian! 🥰

  16. Ink Console is a handheld game console with an E Ink display and a focus on interactive stories (Crowdfunding)

    Most modern handheld gaming devices are designed to let you play PC, mobile, or console games on the go. But the Ink Console is something different. It’s positioned as a cross between a game console and an eBook reader, developer Dana Puch plans to launch a Crowd Supply crowdfunding campaign for the device on March 1.

    While most modern game systems have full-color displays and powerful […]

  17. Firing up #Inform7 on my #Mac to write another #interactiveFiction #game. Getting stuck into the prologue. This will be a much bigger game than I've written before, including 7 main sections in the #code. It is going to take some time. So best get on with it sooner rather than later! Excited to be back #coding. There's something magical about using this #declarative / #naturalLanguage / #objectOriented #programming language and IDE. #GameDev #IndieGame #TextGames #Parser #TextAdventure #Inform

  18. I am currently writing a #cento, i.e. a #textadventure where every sentence is taken from another text adventure. The biggest work of #plagiarism ever written 😉

    This hinges on dumping the full text for 5000+ games (hooray for stable, documented formats/engines!), then having a tool to sift through them. There's also lots of game design constraints that come with it. It's super fun!

    I'm hoping to post more about it as I ramp up in the next few months 😀

  19. Reminder to any fellow #interactiveFiction authors planning to enter #IFComp this year: you must submit an intent to enter no later than 1st August. Game files then due 28th August. Everything is running a month earlier this year. Don't leave it too late if you want to enter. Good luck! ifcomp.org #TextAdventure #GameDev #IndieGames #TextGames #IFComp2024

  20. Hello! I just migrated to digipres.club. Thanks for having me!

    I have been writing #InteractiveFiction for decades, and also write about video game history, #DigitalPreservation #digipres, #retrogaming#translation, etc. I'm bilingual 🇫🇷 🇬🇧 and toot in either language!

    My last project was a #TextAdventure published on 30+ different platforms: hlabrande.itch.io/tristam-island.

    I'm currently working on a #cento supported by a grant from the Canadian Council for the Arts.

    Let's talk! 🙂

  21. Musing my next #interactiveFiction game, as I get near to the end of preparing my latest #game to go into #IFComp 2024. I've various other IF #games in long development, but fancy trying another shorter game, working out the #design in detail beforehand, then coding it up. Which worked well this time. And I had such fun working on this game I want to follow it with another project. #IndieGames #GameDev #TextAdventure #TextGames #CreativeWriting #IFComp2024 #GameDesign

  22. I'm entering a new #interactiveFiction #textAdventure #game in #IFComp next month. Have had huge help from some wonderful playtesters, helping me smooth the playing experience. Today my husband is playtesting for me. I am very nervous! He's played IF games since the 1990s, but erm yup. I'm currently avoiding the study where he is. His initial hiccup was getting an interpreter to work well on his #Linux, but happily now using Lectrote. Eek! #IFComp2024 #IndieGames #GameDev #TextGames #Playtesting
