@kyonshi I looked around at various lists of best loved Infocom adventures and added them to my plan (https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/z1xo8c163g5bfd9p0lt7w/Adventure-game-plan.md?rlkey=5vp89hdyrymkrsij29o0hup0d&st=n9ca76cb&dl=0). 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.

Wrote about my silly if-pal project: https://whitebeard.blog/posts/playing-interactive-fiction-with-an-ai-companion/
Ideal if you need a gen-alpha zork-playing ai companion in your life.

Status: Visible Zork 3 is now in progress. Patreon supporters will see it on March 1st. Unless you're in the "see it right away" tier, in which case you'll be getting a link shortly.
I am now committing to finish Zork 3, Deadline, and Starcross by the end of May. Woot!

More on Zork bugs. (I may be blogging a lot of these…)

“To fight a troll”: notes on the combat mechanics of Zork 1.

It’s like Myst had a baby with Twin Peaks after bingeing Infocom manuals. A cult classic—or possibly a cult recruitment video. Either way, you won’t forget it. Whether that’s a blessing or a curse is up to you. #abandonware #zork #retrogaming https://www.abandonwaredos.com/abandonware-game.php?abandonware=Return+to+Zork&gid=1870

Here we go…
Announcing the Visible Zorker Project and Patreon! Remember how I did Visible Zork 1 and 2? I'm going to do Zork 3, and then continue through Infocom's entire canon -- in chronological order, one per month.
https://blog.zarfhome.com/2026/01/the-visible-zorker-patreon
This is a Patreon-supported project. Yes, I am asking for money for IF work. Patreon supporters get to see the sausage made. But it'll all be open-source after a couple of months delay.

@blookins I remember when my parents bought our first #Commodore64 when I was 15, I had already been playing games like #BardsTale, #Zork, and programming on #Apple computers in the school computer lab for 2 years.

@retroadventurers.bsky.social I had a lot of fun coming up with this conceit, playing the OLDEST and the YOUNGEST editions of #Zork 1 to come from the MIT/#Infocom core teams. This is a slightly short episode (as playing the same game twice is a bit cheeky given our format), but both these versions of the game are a must-see for completists in the genre.
I mention in passing that I always had a bit of #ImpostorSyndrome around Zork, as I have held the domain `zork.net` since the mid/late 90s. I always felt like I was simultaneously dodging #Activision's lawyers and feeling awkward around the die-hard fans who played until they got every last point. Now that #Microsoft has released everything under an open licence, I should probably put a free build up on my site in #Parchment to celebrate!
The Zork-285 game is interesting in that it did not call itself "Zork"! You'll have to listen to the latest #RetroAdventurers episode to find out what it says. #InteractiveFiction
