Attempting to play this game has opened a Pandora’s box of plugins I need to update, because they are vulnerable. Weren’t these the updated versions you told me to get to replace the old vulnerable plugins, Firefox? Will the madness never cease? Won’t even run in my car. OH FOR FUCK’S SAKE I DON’T WANT YOUR SEARCH BAR. You don&#8...

In my perambulations about the internet, I've come across a handful of more recent video games envisioned as IF, by non-authors. I imagine they were mostly created for their. Incongruous humor and a bit of nostalgia, by one-time fans of the medium who haven't played much IF since the '80s.

I guess I've said what little I have to say on the subject of interactive fiction for the time being. This part of my blog is going on indefinite hiatus. If I get around to finishing a work of IF that incorporates some of my ideas, I may return, but that doesn't seem likely in the near future. It has been a pleasure interacting with folks in the IF community. In the Company of Grues. Create a free website. Create your own free website. Start your own free website.

And others have written about the command line/parser in traditional IF, and whether we can improve or eliminate it. Understandably, when a player tries IF for the first time, they are usually confused by the command line and the many conventions that go with it. They end up with more error messages than story, and are unlikely to persist. Click the verb icon you want to perform, then the word in the text you want to perform it on. The main description and story carry on in the top bar (reflecting an...

Entice -  Horace Torys

http://horacetorys.weebly.com/1/post/2011/01/entice.html

How do we entice new readers to IF? Unfortunately, I think a lot of existing IF isn't what the average reader is looking for. The characters and conflicts (such as they are in many IF titles) don't interest them, and learning to play requires too much effort, too many unfamiliar elements. Do we dumb it down? Cater to fans of popular genres? Most of us would die a bit inside at the prospect of typing KISS EDWARD into a Twilight. Graphic novelists have the same sort of thing: wormworldsaga.com. Also, in ma...

I commented on the absence of minorities in GET LAMP. But forgot the brief interview with the one person I actually recognized: Asian-American cartoonist Jason Shiga. Jason talked about children enjoying CYOA books because they don't get many choices in real life, and there's definitely a child-like exploration and fantasy to. His magnum opus so far. You can read a black-and-white online version. Now, which I haven't seen. He also created a giant poster. Check out Jason's site, shigabooks.com. That shows...
