This great Amiga port from 2007 now uses the newest Z-Code engine from Frotz 2.5.5 (2025).

Should be available soon on aminet.

VisualInk allows you to build #visualnovels quickly and easily, but like any tool you do need to know how to use it.

To make getting started easier, we've started releasing short videos (all under 10 minutes) on how to use #ink to build your own #interactivefiction .

All the Adventures reaches Misadventure 6 for TRS-80, and you think the "TOTALLY NEW CONCEPT" might be sarcastic but it appears to be the first text adventure superhero game

So, courtesy of Zoom's technical issues this afternoon, over the next few days y'all can look forward to some short videos on conditional and non-linear #interactivefiction content in #ink , because I'm not letting people down on the course content just because video chat decided not to work.

I am playing around with #inform7 to write an #interactivefiction

Perhaps would be a good idea to make a test game before.

Sprinting back online to yell that there is a new Choice Beat magazine out and you should all get it (and read Choice Beat and support cool games writing like this)

Bob Krotts wrote a series of "naughty" games for TRS-80; I had trouble getting number 5 to work, but I have now unveiled the mystery, which involves many deathtraps and a strange application of pants.

My new article is a companion piece to my recent article about interactive fiction, and looks at the changes in interactive fiction criticism over the last 30 years.

It's 1982, and you're a latch-key kid. A storm is rolling in.

Making progress on the little BASIC text adventure. It's only like 400 lines for 11 rooms so far, I figure 100-ish rooms when I'm done.

Goblins might also get done this week.

The Forgotten Tavern.

It's a choice-based text adventure that has been critically acclaimed as "A sort of mash-up of IF, a dungeon grinder, a world-building strategy game, a roguelike game and one of those games you play on your phone where you have to make burgers or hotdogs to order. Sort of."

Self-explanatory, really.
