Dans ma formation, le mémoire de Master 2 ne se fini plus par une soutenance.

Le format n'est pas encore arrêté, mais ce sera sûrement une vidéo courte qui présentera notre travail.

La raison ? On a plus assez de profs.

Did laundry today. Realized I have more Zork t-shirts than the average person probably has or ever will have. youtu.be/4nigRT2KmCE?si=sCnPX1

-Non je rigole 🤣. T’imagines ? Genre, avec Excel et tout…

Pendant ce temps la, les fiches individuelles par onglet continuaient de se multiplier, avec leurs étages de cellules fusionnées.

Les analystes regardaient les montagnes de requêtes se dresser, graduellement, devant eux.

So I was bored and decided to make an animated GIF of the first few moves of "Zork Zero". Played on an HP 200LX for proper retro value.

(I know I'm silly. Forgive me)

Zork Crossstitch
Here's the kind of minor-yet-cool thing that I love to see, a crossstitch project based off of the first room of Zork, but with a little extra when viewed at night!

A surprising story in John Romero's memoir: apparently Activision hired his startup Inside Out Software to finish Brian Moriarty's game Timesync, left unfinished when Moriarty moved to . I suppose the project was abandoned when Inside Out fell apart.

Notice Romero uses the spelling "Timesync" rather than the more usually seen "Timesink".

Also, apparently the game had enough graphics for Inside Out to hire a dedicated artist for it.

Anyone remember the Graphic Adventure Creator?

Originally made for the , my experience of it was from a covertape.

Anyway, it's been on my list to attempt porting it to for ages. It's not top priority, but the machine is perfectly designed for playing games (see @root42's escapades with ).

Be great if it could decompile and play old games, too.

I'll pick a subset of my favorite games that also intersect with the set of games which are the inspirations for and influences upon my new game Slartboz:

1. NetHack
2. Infocom's The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
3. Steve Jackson's Illuminati

and 4 more (imo) masterpieces which, I hope, you'll be able to tell once you see and get to play Slartboz for your very self

I remember when I had the attention span required to play Trinity.😉

Here's the comic book that accompanied the game.

Slartboz

is a game, so meant to be Fun

and Funny. (well, it tries to be funny)

so expect:

* satire
* parody
* mockery
* farce
* pranks & pratfalls
* in-jokes
* hip/dank memes
* puns
* alliteration
* rhyme & meter play
* homonyms
* allusion & innuendo
* Dad Jokes
* absurdity
* tangents & asides -- sometimes quite fractally & to a ridiculous degree

Please suggest or games with environment-interaction on at least the level of 5++, Divine Divinity, Divinity: Original Sin, , Skyrim, , or a well-modeled /
/ / -level — objects are movable or at least destructible, items “physically” exist in the world and aren’t just transfered from one menu to another (inventory), things can be in or on other things…

I am tired of games that are all gloss and surface with just the plot-relevant things being interactable.

Bonus points for elemental physics (water, fire, etc.), day/night/weather/climate, and basic needs simulation like needing to stay warm, fed, etc.

Reluctant malus points for pure dungeon crawls, although I do in principle adore games like Arx Fatalis, Dark Messiah of M&M, and Monomyth.

Serious malus points for turn-based games with party micro-management. Single-player much preferred.

Fantasy also much preferred.

Slartboz -- the new computer game I'm making -- is partly a homage to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, by Douglas Adams. I am a huge fan, loved the ideas and its style, and had always wished more books/shows/games/utensils existed like it in the world.

Even if our long scheduled in advance global apocalypse is hurtling towards us, ready to begin surely Any Day Now and in fact may have Already Begun But Sneakily.
