  1. MIST0426/CT-NICK_MONTFORT-TWISTY_LITTLE_PASSAGES

    Mistigram: 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 #NickMontfort’s 2005 history of the #textadventure computer game genre, #TwistyLittlePassages.

    Before Discord, before Minecraft, before social media… we were already hanging out in worlds made entirely of words.

  10. We're finally bringing ASCII art to life on Saturday's stream!
    Think retro-style scenes, fully generated by the AI.
    Fantasy + LLMs + Java.
    Any ideas for scenes you'd love to see in ASCII?

  13. It’s still early days—
    but it’s turning into something you can actually play!
    Think old-school text RPG meets local LLM.
    Next goal: ASCII art + stats + magic.

  16. My merchant game is a text-based game where you play as a merchant, exploring a (probably, we'll see how it goes) randomly generated world. The current idea is it will be a resource and economy game, where you build your reputation, form connections with NPCs, make trade routes, and profit, of course. Expect random devlogs to come about the thoughts and struggles I have.

  21. Hello Masto !

    I'm desperately looking for a game that is at least ten years old, all text. It starts with "You're Nothing" then, after a click and a loading time, "You've got Life" and from there, a whole bunch of choices are offered to the player: earn money, knowledge, etc. Except that, little by little, the choices diminish. Does that ring a bell to anybody?

    🔄 Please boost !

    Hello Masto !
    Je cherche désespérément un jeu qui date d'au moins dix ans, tout en texte. Ça commence par "You're nothing" puis, suite à un clic et un temps de chargement "You've got Life" et à partir de là, tout un tas de choix s'offrent au joueur : gagner de l'argent, du savoir, etc. Sauf que petit à petit, les choix s'amenuisent. Ça vous dit quelque chose ?

    🔄 Le partage est doux !

  26. Back to #interactiveFiction #game #coding, in #Inform, an almost magical natural language / declarative / object oriented #programming language for traditional parser interactive fiction games. I'm in early stages of my next game, but getting stuck in. Luckily for flighty me I have 7 main sections of game that I can work on independently. So can flit about as much as want to, depending on which bit(s) I feel inspired to work on at a time. #GameDev #IndieGame #IndieGames #TextGame #TextAdventure

  31. More #interactiveFiction game coding, working on my new game in #Inform7. Currently building the main structure, working forward through the early stages of game. Now making a start on Chapter 2 - I suspect there will be 7 chapters by the end. And just named a property a house name that I am doubtful may ever have been used in real life. But is totally appropriate in this specific case. #GameDev #IndieGame #IndieGames #Game #TextGame #TextAdventure #Inform
