@Superfreq Oh, hey, you mentioned . I'm running a Multi User Dungeon that I've played and worked on in one form or another since about 1990 at weehours.net or telnet weehours.net 2000. It was formerly known as AfterHours LPMUD. Please pardon the plug.

Allowing the player to feel around a dark room in a TADS3 game is surprisingly difficult. someone posted an example of searching through a container in the dark which I can hopefully adapt.

I'm really liking this randomized text strategy called where you control the AI of a colony ship full of Human survivors in search of a new planet to call home. Along the way you must make hard choices which will effect the colony's chance of success, but also how they live afterwards. You visit various planets until you choose one that seems suitable to put down roots on, but wait too long and your ship will likely be so damaged that by the time you get their, you won't be much help to the colonists.
I've ended up with some very interesting civilizations!
Here's the link if anyone wants to pick it up, it's free on itch.

If you are using a screen reader, hit the download link under the first heading, hit control end to go to the bottom of the page, then up arrow a couple of times until you get to a dialogue element. Hit enter and you should be golden from there.

For anyone interested in the Games for Blind Gamers 2 jam (itch.io/jam/games-for-blind-ga), I published my approach to using for a text-game, with the ability to cleanly read and write from the console, without any cruft! You can read about it here: nightblade9.github.io/godot-ga

This text adventure draws on 50 years of tradition and innovation to build an original and modern formula. It is set in a vivid, contemporary fantasy world where everyone has an agenda and the only discrimination is based upon the order of birth.

Working my way through the 50 Years of Text Games in blog form and came across this amazing article about an early game created by an all-female paracosmic "disciplinary" cult LARPing as Victorian schoolmistresses

Today on the Discworld MUD I did a code review for a recently-hired creator, wrote some atmospheric chats for a new thing I’m developing with another creator, and made a breakthrough on a complicated bug I'm investigating with yet another creator. <3 teamwork
