Got my undergrad project mates all set up on WSL successfully building, running, and playing our semester project game. They are excited to learn and contribute!

The most challenging aspect of this text adventure game is creating the story itself. That kind of creativity has always been extremely difficult for me.

Just FYI, friends, you helped Seph avoid a fate worse than death by NOT voting to send Cora and Thomas to Tartarus. 🤣😬🥳

Looking around and picking up items working now. Things are shaping up nicely.

#HareLang #TextAdventure

Got a crude movement system in place that lets you build areas/rooms and give them names. Then you can attach them together with cardinal directions and call game::move(&map, game:: direction::EAST) to progress through the mapped out areas.

"Thomas," you say, meeting his eyes, "What would your mother say? This wasn't the life she wanted for you."

Tears welled in his eyes, "How dare you!" he said, "Witch!"

Interesting. He didn't know who you are.

Alex snorted. "Mercenaries, then," she said.

You nod. That's certainly how it appeared.

We released a new version of our award-winning text adventure, Sub Rosa.

Change List
- Backstories for starting inventory restored
- Uncertainty correctly maintained over invisible llama
- Microscopic sun can now destroy evidence
- Encyclopedias can no longer be sent back in time

3 CS undergrads have joined my text adventure project team. This will be fund to build the game with others and even get #HareLang exposed to others. The professor was even curious about it too.

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 tried a different approach that at least seems to work well on the iPhone. I removed the buttons (hided, in fact), as they take too much place on the screen. Feedbacks are very welcome! #GameDev #IndieGame #javascript #TextAdventure #InteractiveFiction http://davbucci.chez-alice.fr/varie/silk/web/silk_dust.html

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

Did I already mention how much I like Seedship? Such a simple and beautiful game.

👀 Last time I ran a poll I asked about interactive fiction, as a whole. Today I want to ask about text adventures / MUDS.

Tell me about your favorite ones!
Anddd, I personally don't like the 'puzzle' aspect. Any straight RPGs text adventures out there that you know of?

Boost for reach!

Have you ever played a text adventure / MUD? Would you?
(The ones you type commands in like go north, examine door, etc).

(Part 2/2)

"I know a lot of things," you say, trying to remain as vague as possible, "so you better tell me the truth. I'll know if you're lying."

"Oh yeah?" the man chimed in, "And what're you gonna do to us if we don't? You already said you won't let the shifter hurt us."

(Part 1/2)

"No need for torture, Alex. I think I've got this," you say. She doesn't put her claws away yet, though.

You move closer to the couple and study them carefully. They look more nervous the longer you don't speak. You make eye contact with the woman, and you pluck a memory from her mind like a flower.

"Cora," you say, "You weren't always a thug for hire, were you?"

Her eyes widen with panic. "H-how did you know my name?"

#OfGhostsAndGods #TextAdventure #ChooseYourOwnAdventure

New release of Colossal Cave Adventure. The classic text based interactive maze we all remember from our youth. This is from the carefully restored original C port.

Biggest news this time is the tiny, ~200 kiB, #Docker image.

#GAC will actually run in #ZXemul, the #ZXSpectrum #emulator for #Psion #EPOC16 (it has full #Z80 emulation). But you really need a 3mx for ZXemul to run at full #Speccy speed, and it will guzzle battery.

Still, here it is running in #MAME, for anyone who wants to see emulator-ception.
