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

175 followers · 2472 posts · Server toot.ioI'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

1st demo video of actual gameplay planned to debut July 31
I'll try to revive/resurrect Abro's gfren Fern in time, so she can make her public debut in that video. It may be hard. But I have a dark plan. And special tools. And thunderstorms in the forecast tonight...

I remember King's Quest 1 was my very first Sierra text adventure. Back in 2001, I didn't understand a single word English so this and the other Sierra games helped me a lot to learn my first English vocabulary.
Do you think text adventures can be edutainment for kids too?

In der aktuellen MagPi-Ausgabe gibt es einen Artikel über Inform 7 = Programmierumgebung für Text-Adventures
Klingt sehr interessant - hat jemand von Euch damit Erfahrungen? Könnte mir vorstellen, dass dies auch etwas für den Informatik-Unterricht ist.

Timidly trying my hand at some atmospheric #electroindustrial with #Renoise among other neat tools and toys
· #Prose-#poetry perpetrator, albeit rarely
· Compulsive #language pedant who should know better
· Escaping into fantasy, faerie, SciFi and RPG lore & art
· Learned English from pen friends, #TextAdventures & #InteractiveFiction, song lyrics, the #DemoScene, & the internet. Accordingly old and decrepit!
· Things I currently want to learn but struggle to make myself: music theory, baking, embroidery, audio production, Lua/LLÖVE2D and/or Python//libtcod
· Part-time vegan vegetarian
· A #SocialLibertarian? Not too chummy with ideologies, and never ever sure I’m right
· At best #homoflexible & #demisexual; #pancuddly; favouring #polyamory and #ENM & romantic #PowerExchange but really I’d just like some hugs again some day

Huh. I didn't realize the original Apple Computer logo included the same quote from Wordsworth's "The Prelude" that gave #Infocom's #AMindForeverVoyaging its title. #interactivefiction #textadventures #adventuregames

He probably introduces himself as "not that one". :( #textadventures #retrogames
