Interactive Fiction For Writers

Jun 24, 2006 15:53

I don't have as much experience with the creation end as I do with the playing end of interactive fiction, but I really like what I can see of the language Inform 7. I'm mostly really impressed by how easy it is to read and how intuitive it is to understand:Colour is a kind of value. The colours are red, blue and green. A block is a kind of thing.

If you do end up making a game with Adrift, tell me! Interactive fiction is one of my favorite things ever! <3 <3

I'm very intrigued by IF. I've been bookmarking your relevant posts and hope to investigate further this summer. I think I would love to make an SG:A game. Of course, knowing me it would probably be the best worst kind of filth. :)

Eee, I'm really glad to know you like the interactive fiction posts! <3 And do be sure to tell me if/when you decide to make one, because that would be excellent!

Will do. :) Actually, what is really odd is that I dreamed about IF last night. Isn't that just the bestest, geekiest sign ever?

P.S. Thanks for the mina_de_malfois tip...it is hilarious!

I am the happiest pimp ever! <3

(Especially about Mina! I love those stories so, so much, so I'm glad I was able to share!)

Thank you for making my boring afternoon so much better :) I've downloaded Bronze and it's very neat!

And that excerpt of code boggles my mind. It sounds so sensible. I'm currently learning to program in Java, and that code looks like a terrible mess most of the time!

Eee, I am so ridiculously glad that my pimping of IF is working for you! <3

Also, I know!! I'm learning the language right now and it'll take a few more days to get everything down, but already it's easier than others! Java in particular is kind of terrifying. :o

Bronze looks absolutely lovely. Thanks for the link. I played a text-based internet game of Hamlet once, but I didn't need to download anything and while it was funny and referenced most of Shakespeare's other plays, it got dull after a while. This looks much better. Mostly because of the narrative and premise.

Bronze is fantastic, and I really like the multiple endings. <3 I hope you enjoy it!
