After #SilkDust, here is the web version of The Queen's Footsteps running in the browser. If you think you'd like a steampunk #TextAdventure taking place in the 1904 Italy, have a try: http://davbucci.chez-alice.fr/varie/queen/web/ #IndieGame #TheQueensFootsteps #InteractiveFiction

I need a feedback. I added a button to show the virtual keyboard on phones. It's shows an icon of a smartphone (📱). Unfortunately, it does not work on iPhones as it uses the VirtualKeyboard interface, not (yet?) available on Safari. Can someone let me know if it works on Android devices? http://davbucci.chez-alice.fr/varie/silk/web/silk_dust.html #HelpNeeded #Android #SilkDust #Indiedev #TextAdventure

I added a few buttons for the most common actions in the web version of #SilkDust. #IndieGame #GameDev #InteractiveFiction #TextAdventure. Let me know if you like them. If you have ideas about how to improve the interface, let me know.

It has not been trivial (and the code still sucks in some places), but here is the first beta version of #SilkDust running in a web page. It is still not perfect for mobile devices as it expect a keyboard. It also does not support copy/paste. But it kind of works 😍

Well, having #SIlkDust running on the browser creates some interesting problems to solve. It would be utterly impossible to #TextAdventure set in 1907 Italy written with a font that has been created in England in 1932. #gamedev #typesetting #GameDev

HOLY COW! I think it works! 😍 Here is the first screenshot of #SilkDust playable in a browser. It is extremely basic, but it works! I still have plenty of problems to solve, but at least it is clearly feasible! #GameDev #IndieGame #javascript #emscripten #TextAdventures

A new piece of music for #SilkDust is ready.

New #indiemusic for #SilkDust, called #Varenna Suite. This time is a piece for full #orchestra. It was quite a challenge to write this one! https://soundcloud.com/user-375194295/varenna-suite?in=user-375194295/sets/silk-dust-soundtrack

I published a new piece of #Music for my #TextAdventure #SilkDust. It is called Steam Pressure and the style is slightly more electronic than the previous pieces. Hope you will like it! https://soundcloud.com/user-375194295/steam-pressure?in=user-375194295/sets/silk-dust-soundtrack
