#twine

attempt 1 at waypoints in my #twine porn was to manually mark
`waypoint(17, "some name")`
at various interesting points. doing a couple dozen of these was enough to convince me that I don't want to manually mark the 500 or so that would be useful.

simplification 1: drop the id number. I was thinking it would be more compact than using passage name, but I want an ordered list, not an unordered list, so I can't use a bitset. the list will be a string that gets gz'ed, so passage names are fine.

Künstlerin des Monats: AI Comic Factory

Bisher hatte ich mich ja um den ganzen Hype um die künstliche Intelligenzia mit ChatGPT, MidJourney und Konsorten herausgehalten. Ich bin zu alt und muß daher nicht mehr jeder Sau, die durchs Dorf getrieben wird, hinterherjagen. Jetzt ist mir aber eher zufällig eine Anwendung untergekommen, die mich doch ziemlich aus den Socken gehauen hat. https://kantel.github.io/posts/2023100103_ai_comic_factory/ #Bilder #KünstlicheIntelligenz #Comic #ComicFactory #InteractiveFiction #Twine

Thanks to feedback from players, I've extended several of the storylines of my Twine game. I expanded it by 7,000 words and added an appendix on the Denju language. This is now a 50,000-word interactive book, with 200+ passages and 19 endings. Your feedback welcome! https://troypress.itch.io/a-new-life-in-auspele #conlang #InteractiveFiction #IF #Twine

today in #twine porn, I'm procrastinating on writing three interrelated cruel sex endings by thinking more about "already seen".

the limited form of seen-marking is working pretty well, I think it improves playability quite a bit, but it doesn't help the problem of "it's hard to know if I've playtested every meaningful path".

so I'm thinking of adding a milestone system. initial version will be only for playtesting, because it's going to be hard to make it work well for players.

Paulina Przystupa, a member of our #dataLiteracy team, recently wrote a program update.

The update introduces a #Twine game and a mystery roll-playing game that invite #archaeology students to explore data issues and #stakeholder perspectives.

If you're interested in research #datamanagement, these games involve some cool reuse of datasets for instructional purposes.

Twine tip: Tag your first passage with every tag. Otherwise, when you remove the last instance of a tag from a passage, Twine will forget the tag and its color, and you will have to re-enter and reset it when you use it next. (I tend to use tags for to-do items.) #Twine #InteractiveFiction

Trying to decide which navi layout looks better for my little #Twine game...

@garrwolfdog
This is the interface for a program called #Twine, which is an open source engine for making text-based adventure games. Each square represents a possible screen of text for the player to be presented with, and the lines pointing between them represent that these screens have buttons which connect them.

In this particular one, the player meets a talking fox, and can respond three different ways, to which he tells them to put on a magic bridle, which they can vehemently refuse, but in the end, they don't have another option: all roads lead to mare-TF.

Berlin Attack: Prototypen mit Twine und Chapbook

Wie angekündigt möchte ich bei meinen Erkundungen von Twine und dem Storyformat Chapbook vorübergehend den Wunderland-Kosmos verlassen und an einem ganz anderen Beispiel zeigen, warum Chapbook trotz (oder besser: gerade wegen) seiner Beschränkungen hervorragend geeignet ist, einen Prototypen in Twine zu bauen, der dann später nach Ren’Py portiert werden soll. https://kantel.github.io/posts/2023091801_berlin_attack_twine/ #Twine #RenPy #Chapbook #InteractiveFiction

Der Anfang vom Ende von Unity? Oder: Ren’Py als (eine) Unity-Alternative

Seit ein paar Tagen rumort es ganz gewaltig in der Spieleentwicklerszene, speziell unter den kleinen Indy-Labels. Grund ist, daß die in dieser Szene beliebte Game-Engine Unity ganz gewaltig zu Lasten gerade dieser kleinen Studios an ihrem Preismodell geschraubt hat. https://kantel.github.io/posts/2023091502_renpy_statt_unity/ #Unity #RenPy #Godot #InteractiveFiction #GameDev #Twine #VisualStudioCode

Alice und Humpel Pumpel – ein (vorläufig) letztes Wunderland-Update mit Twine und Chapbook

Noch einmal möchte ich Alice mit Twine durch das Wunderland schicken, um neue Sprachelemente des Storyformats Chapbook vorzustellen. In diesem neuen Zweig der Geschichte trifft sie auf »Humpel Pumpel« (Humpty Dumpty), einer Figur, die sich schon Lewis Carroll bei den Kinderreimen der Mutter Gans (Mother Goose) ausgeborgt hatte. https://kantel.github.io/posts/2023091101_alice_humpel_pumpel/ #Twine #Chapbook #InteractiveFiction

Update auf Twine 2.7.1 (mit Tweego und Harlowe 3.3.7)

Nachdem ich gestern erfolgreich meinem Werkzeugkasten für interaktive Geschichten ein Ren’Py-Update auf die Version 8.1.2 spendiert hatte, war ich neugierig geworden. Aus Erfahrung wußte ich ja, daß ich mich auf Twines automatische Update-Überprüfung nicht wirklich verlassen kann. Also habe ich selber nachgeschaut. https://kantel.github.io/posts/2023090701_twine_2_7_1/ #Twine #Harlowe #InteractiveFiction #GameDev #TweeGo

Ren’Py 8.1.2 – wo noch niemand vorher war

Gestern wurde Ren’Py 8.1.2 freigegeben, das den schönen Codenamen »Where No One Has Gone Before« trägt. Es ist ein Bugfix-Release mit nur wenigen neuen Features. Eine Liste aller Änderungen und Fehlerbehebungen findet Ihr wie immer im Changelog. https://kantel.github.io/posts/2023090602_renpy_8_1_2/ #RenPy #InteractiveFiction #GameDev #Twine #Chapbook

Alice und der weiße Ritter – ein neues Wunderland-Update

Auch wenn es nach außen hin den Anschein hatte: Ich habe am Wochenende nicht auf der faulen Haut gelegen, sondern die kleine Alice mit Twine neue Abenteuer im Wunderland erleben lassen. Dabei habe ich ein paar Sprachelemente des von mir dabei genutzten Storyformats Chapbook verwendet, die ich bisher noch nicht vorgestellt hatte. https://kantel.github.io/posts/2023090401_alice_weisse_ritter/ #Twine #Chapbook #InteractiveFiction #GameDev

Macht Wunderland wieder groß – jetzt mit noch mehr Stil

Wie versprochen habe ich mich gestern vor meinem Rechner gesetzt und meinen Wunderland-Kosmos ein wenig erweitert. Dabei ging es mir darum, zu zeigen, welche Einflußmöglichkeiten man mit Twine und Chapbook auf die Gestaltung des Textes besitzt. https://kantel.github.io/posts/2023090201_wunderland_wieder_gross/ #Twine #Chapbook #InteractiveFiction #GameDev

Twine und Chapbook im Wunderland – jetzt mit Stil

Bevor ich Alice weitere Abenteuer mit Twine und Chapbook im Wunderland erleben lasse, möchte ich das bisher erreichte noch etwas aufhübschen und der Geschichte ein wenig Stil spendieren. https://kantel.github.io/posts/2023083101_chapbook_mit_stil/ #Twine #InteractiveFiction #GameDev

Update: Alice und Chapbook auf Itch.io – jetzt auch mit Bildern. Wirklich!

Manchmal sollte man Notizen, die man an sich selber gerichtet hat, auch beherzigen. Denn dann wäre mir der dumme Fehler, der mir gestern abend unterlaufen ist, sicher nicht passiert: Ich hatte nämlich die Twine-Geschichte von gestern auf Itch.io hochgeladen, bevor ich die URLs der Bilder von localhost auf relative Adressen umgestellt hatte. https://kantel.github.io/posts/2023082901_chapbook_itchio_bilder/ #Twine #Chapbook #InteractiveFiction #GameDev #ItchIo

Mit Twine und Chapbook in das Wunderland, Version 0.1: Wir wollen Bilder!

Alice fing an sich zu langweilen; sie saß schon lange bei ihrer Schwester am Ufer und hatte nichts zu tun. Das Buch, das ihre Schwester las, gefiel ihr nicht; denn es waren weder Bilder noch Gespräche darin. „»Und was nützen Bücher,« dachte Alice, »ohne Bilder und Gespräche?« https://kantel.github.io/posts/2023082801_chapbook_wunderland_1/ #Twine #Chapbook #InteractiveFiction

Tutorial: Mit Twine und Chapbook in das Wunderland, Version 0.0

Alea iacta est: Ich habe mich entschieden, meinen Ausflügen mit Twine ins Wunderland ein Reboot zu spendieren und die Reise nun mit Chapbook anstelle von Harlowe oder SugarCube als StoryFormat anzutreten. Das bedeutet, daß ich meine bisherigen Tutorials komplett neu überarbeiten werde. Heute gibt es die erste Lieferung: https://kantel.github.io/posts/2023082703_chapbook_wunderland_0/ #Twine #Chapbook #InteractiveFiction #GameDev

Hypermedia, Twine und Chapbook: Ein Werkstattbericht

Ich spiele einfach ein wenig weiter mit Twine, Tweego und dem Chapbook-Storyformat herum. Denn die gestern vorgestellte Playlist »Twine – Simple Storytelling« hat mich daran erinnert, woher unter anderem auch meine Faszination für Twine stammt: Twine erinnert (nicht nur) mich an Apples geniales, aber leider verblichenes Hypertext-/Hypermedia-System »HyperCard. https://kantel.github.io/posts/2023082601_twine_und_hypermedia/ #Twine #InteractiveFiction #Hypermedia #GameDev

Twine und Visual Studio Code: Video-Tutorials zum Wochenende

Twine läßt mich momentan einfach nicht mehr los. Und so ist es nur folgerichtig, daß die am heutigen Freitag vorgeschlagenen Video-Tutorials sich ebenfalls um Twine drehen. Da aber – wegen Tweego – auch Visual Studio Code momentan stark in meinen Fokus gerückt ist, gibt es zum Abschluß auch noch ein paar Tutorials zu diesem Editor. https://kantel.github.io/posts/2023082501_twine_und_vscode/ #Twine #InteractiveFiction #VisualStudioCode #P5js

Auch Nimmerland ist Wunderland – wie auch der Kensington Garden (und die wunderbare Welt von Oz)

Mein Wunderland-Kosmos ist nicht allein auf die Geschichten um Alice von Lewis Carroll beschränkt, denn wenn ich meine Phantasie schweifen lasse, dann fallen mir sofort weitere fiktive (aber auch reale) Länder ein, die zum Wunderland-Universum gehören: https://kantel.github.io/posts/2023082302_nimmerland_wunderland/ #Wunderland #InteractiveFiction #Twine #RenPy #GameDev

Tweego und die aktuellen Storyformate – ein Abschlußbericht

Für meine noch offene Frage, wo ich die aktuellen Storyformate für Tweego herbekomme, habe ich eine ebenso einfache wie triviale Lösung gefunden, auf die ich eigentlich schon viel früher hätte kommen können. Denn natürlich gibt es sie alle in dem GitHub-Repositorium zu Twine, und zwar in allen Varianten. https://kantel.github.io/posts/2023082101_tweego_chapbook/ #Twine #Tweego #InteractiveFiction #GameDev

Tutorials zu Twine und SugarCube

Meine Erkundungen (1, 2 und 3) von Tweego und Twine haben mich nicht mehr losgelassen: Ich will jetzt damit (und speziell mit dem Storyformat SugarCube) etwas anstellen. Da trifft es sich gut, daß ich vor etwa drei Jahren schon einen ersten Ausflug mit dem Zuckerwürfel in meinen Wunderland-Kosmos begonnen, aber leider nie fortgeführt hatte. https://kantel.github.io/posts/2023082002_twine_sugarcube/ #Twine #Tweego #SugarCube #InteractiveFiction #GameDev

Tweego und Chapbook – ein Testbericht

Meine Tests, wie weit Twine und Tweego mit Visual Studio Code zusammenspielen, habe ich zu einem erfolgreichen vorläufigen Abschluß gebracht, denn auch Tweego und das Storyformat Chapbook funzen ziemlich gut mit Visual Studio Code. https://kantel.github.io/posts/2023082001_tweego_chapbook/ #Twine #Tweego #VisualStudioCode #InteractiveFiction #GameDev #Chapbook

today in #twine porn: more struggling with "already seen".

probably the most useful form of seen-marking is the objects in the room, because the narrative is on a clock. player only gets to look at a few objects before they're forced to make a story-advancing choice. there are about a dozen objects to look at, and marking seen objects is helpful. 1/

Tweego und die Storyformate – ein weiterer Zwischenbericht

Mit meinen Erkundungen von Tweego und Twine und wie das alles mit Visual Studio Code zusammenspielt, bin ich ein gutes Stück vorangekommen. https://kantel.github.io/posts/2023081802_tweego_storyformate/ #Twine #Tweego #InteractiveFiction #GameDev #VisualStudioCode

😺😼I suddenly had the desire to write a cat sim IF. You are a cat. A royalty walking among mere plebs. Demand what is rightfully yours, cause havoc, or be lovey and snuggly.

From the rough draft:
"You get into position, lowering yourself down for maximum take off. One. Two. Three. Go! You dig your claws into the carpet for extra liftoff. In seconds you're blazing through the house. You are lightning. You are speed."

Cat responsibly.

Video-Tutorials zum Wochenende: Coding mit der Schlange und mit P5.js

Nachdem ich die letzten Male eher sparsam mit meiner Themenauswahl für die wöchentlichen Video-Tutorials war, gibt es an diesem Wochenende wieder einen Gemischtwarenladen, damit ich mein zweites Gehirn wieder etwas freimachen kann. Es gibt Simulationen mit Pythons Schildkröte, mit P5.js und Processing (Java). https://kantel.github.io/posts/2023081801_coding_weekend/ #Python #Processing #P5js #CreativeCoding #Simulation #Twine

Erste Schritte mit Tweego

Es war eine verdammt harte Geburt, aber nachdem ich mehrere Stunden mehr oder weniger planlos herumexperimentiert hatte, spielt nun das vorgestern vorgestellte Tweego auch auf meinem betagten MacBook Pro mit meinem Visual Studio Code. Die aufgetretenen Probleme lagen weniger an der Applikation denn mehr an der übermäßigen Fürsorge des Apple-Betriebssystems. https://kantel.github.io/posts/2023081701_tweego_first_steps/ #Twine #Twee #TweeGo #InteractiveFiction #GameDev #VisualStudioCode

I’ve been tinkering with #Inform7, #ink, and #twine for writing #InteractiveFiction lately and they are all so good! Each has a different focus but they are all interesting and well thought out and elegant in their own ways.

Wenn Dein Visual-Novel-Projekt Dir über den Kopf zu wachsen droht, dann nimmst Du einfach ein paar blasse Food-Photos und Tweego – und alles wird wieder gut. Aber im Ernst: Der freie (BSD-Lizenz) Twine-/Twee-Compiler könnte eine Lösung für meine Idee zu sein, einen Prototypen interaktiver Geschichten erst in Twine zu entwickeln und dann das endgültige Produkt in Ren’Py zu schreiben. https://kantel.github.io/posts/2023081502_tweego/ #Twine #Renpy #InteractiveFiction #VSCode #Tweego #GameDev

I have wanted to experiment and work with narrative for some time now, i tried out Twine (https://twinery.org/) and created this short story with it.

https://sebby7.itch.io/post-valholl

Twine is a fun tool, I'm excited to use it in the future.
#twine #shortstory

Twine est vraiment un outil très caméléon. Je m'éclate à l'utiliser pour Crée ton Mutant, mon outil de création de perso à Mutant Year Zero.
J'utilise le format Sugarcube qui permet, entre autres, une sauvegarde en local.
Je pourrais customiser le css mais je crois que je vais pas aller jusque là. Le css n'est pas mon point fort et ça ne rajoute pas de fonctionnalité utile à l'outil.
Mais essayez Twine, vraiment. C'est un chouette outil.
Ça se trouve là: https://twinery.org/ et je suis dispo pour aider, dans la mesure de mes connaissances.

web browsers mark "already seen" in a simple way: if a link goes to a URL that you've viewed already, the link is colored differently. this is simple to implement, but not really useful in my #twine porn game, for several reasons.

this explanation will be easier with diagrams, so imagine there's a diagram here. 1/

screenshot of my Twine WIP!!! I'll be making an introduction post when I actually have some playable content up on Itch.io (I don't see the point in trying to get ppl interested in it before there's a game for them to actually play at least somewhat) but for now have this screenshot of the UI

Currently trying to get my #Twine #InteractiveFiction game to the point where it's been outlined and there's at least a bit available to play on Itch.io, also working on implementing a codex! I'll post some screenshots here later :D

today in #twine porn, I wanted to add scroll-shadows, which can be done neatly with just css using multiple backgrounds with different background-attachment, except SugarCube's html/css structure is wrong for doing it neatly. so I have something messy using background-attachment: fixed instead of background-attachment: scroll, which gets very messy with sticky headers and doesn't work with variable height sticky headers.

so many ways of doing this, all of them kinda icky. gonna sleep on it

When you need some twine—

#ikea #twine

I've been giving #twine another look, and if anything, it's gotten more confusing since the last time. For something that's supposed to be a simple introduction to interactive fiction, there sure is a lot of "the first thing you need to do is choose a story format, which determines which of several completely incompatible syntaxes you'll use" in people's intro articles/videos. I know at some level it doesn't really mattter for getting started, but it's off-putting.

today in #twine porn is mostly about marking "already seen" links. this is a medium-complicated topic that I could ramble about for a couple dozen hundred toots, so maybe it's better as a blog post, which requires setting up a blog, which is a yak I don't want to shave today. so I thought I'd make a poll

Tiens, hier je me suis remise à jouer avec #Twine pour faire un algo de choix (comment choisir où jeter un truc en France : poubelle noire jaune verte ou compost)

D'autres personnes ici qui utilisent ce logiciel ?

Yesterday I went back to playing with #Twine to design an algorithm to choose in which bin you should throw your waste in France.

Any people out there playing with Twine here ?

Alice und Twine Reloaded: Neue Twine-Tutorials

Inspiriert durch die wunderbaren, neuen Tutorials zu Twine 2.6 von Dan Cox habe ich beschlossen, nicht nur meinen bisherigen drei Twine-Tutorials aus dem Wunderland-Kosmos ebenfalls ein Update auf Twine 2.6 zu gönnen und sie ein wenig zu überarbeiten, sondern auch meine Arbeit an den lange brachliegenden Twine-Tutorials wieder aufzunehmen und mit neuen Folgen zu ergänzen. https://kantel.github.io/posts/2023080202_alice_twine_reloaded/ #Twine #InteractiveFiction

J'aime trouver des utilisations insolites pour des outils. Là, j'utilise Twine pour créer une aide à la création de perso pour Mutant Year Zero: avec gestion des valeurs des stats, infos détaillées pour faire des choix éclairés... A la fin, on obtient la fiche de perso, prête à être rentrée dans Foundry.
J'avais déjà fait ça pour Réforme et Rapière, là c'est moins complexe en terme de calculs, mais il y a plus d'intéractivité.
J'utilise le format Sugarcube. J'ai un peu hésité avec Chapbook mais j'ai choisi Sugarcube pour la possibilité de paramétrer les variables au milieu d'un passage et pouvoir imbriquer les conditions.

#Twine #JDR #EntreTerreEtMer #Sugarcube #MutantYearZero

today in #twine porn, got deterministic rng working (using `xoroshiro64**`)

problem: the story has "menu" passages (eg, a "credits" page). when you visit a menu passage, then return to the story, it will re-evaluate the story passage, which will roll new random numbers. this has always been a problem, but it wasn't really important when story-transcript was just for debugging.

solution is for "return to story" to either pop history or restore the old rng state, unsure yet which is better

New version of AdventureTome! Check it out if you're interested in writing gamebooks!

Oh. THAT'S why I was told working with images in #Twine 2 is hard. Haha. I would not have expected "it basically does not support them" to be the reason https://twinery.org/forum/discussion/3044/how-to-import-images-into-twine-2

#Twine can I run Twine as a self-contained executable (not "installed") and toss it in Google Drive to have it everywhere? I have like 4 devices I could be writing on.

man I hate installers. I love when #gamedev s publish contained exe versions.

mostly recovered from covid, time to do some more #twine porn. today is adding full-game transcript. I realized earlier this week that my plan was largely unnecessary over-engineering. SugarCube already can keep full state history, and that's enough to reconstruct the transcript. what I was planning was more compact than what sugarcube will store, but not massively smaller, maybe only 2x smaller? so probably not worth it

Currently playing the 2015 #InteractiveFiction SPY INTRIGUE by furkle. Very intriguing so far.

It makes me realise (again) that the problem with a lot of novels, certainly in the Netherlands, is that they are just boringly conventional. I want to read things that confuse me, where I don't know where they're going, that show me that text is alive with possibility!

#InteractiveFiction #disaster #writing #WriterHobbies

@lertsenem @genericgeekgirl @zarfeblong @rubereaglenest @konjak I very much came at #InteractiveFiction from the angle you expected initially: I left school without any IT qualifications at a time when they were more-or-less mandatory, focused on writing from that point on, and got a foothold in programming through #Twine. It's only recently I started developing anything other than IF.

Just wrote a postmortem for my #IFComp game "A Chinese Room", which is a great excuse to post about it.

A one or two reader experience, A Chinese Room is one story in two, an outsider's impression of Russia, a story of power, control, inhumanity, and love.

It is, in my opinion, the best thing I've ever written.

so, im almost done porting Re-Hearsed from SugarCube to Harlowe and it's starting to gel surprisingly well #twine

My 11yo expressed interest in #TextAdventures/#InteractiveFiction. I wrote stuff in #Inform years ago but I don’t think that would be his jam (and as beautiful as #Inform7 is I don’t think he’d be able to learn it quickly enough to avoid losing interest).

Does anyone know of good tutorials for #Twine that might be accessible to a bright 11 year old? I’d be happy to help him but I’d love to have something he could also read himself while I’m at work. Thank you!

#twine #zines #webzines

Freue mich sehr auf morgen Vormittag. Mit Joachim Meissner vom #HessischerRundfunk biete ich einen Workshop auf dem #ARDJugendmedientag an:

Für die Schüler:innen geht um aktives Handeln in Spielen, historische Alternativen und den Hypertext-Editor #Twine.

Mit einem eigens geschriebenen Beispiel zur Elbfahrt einer Kogge um 1300. Bin gespannt.

#Introduction I'm G. Deyke. I like #queer #autistic #sff, #adventuregames, #mythology/#folklore/#fairytales, #metal, and #horses.

I've written a lot of prose, with a focus especially on #flashfic and #interactivefiction (so far mostly using #twine), though I have also written longer-form (and very occasional poetry). Recently I have also been experimenting with #vectorart.

Also I am a T-Rex in a witch hat.

Tools I'm fond of: #godotEngine, #ink, Asperite, Sublime Text, #scrivener, Hacknplan, Articy Draft, #audacity, WikiPad, OBS Studio, Pomodoro, #Twine (largely for prototyping), #Inform7, Google Reader (RIP too soon)

Okay - today's labor:

*Job Hunting. Try to spend a few hours kicking out applications every day.

* Working up some "pilot" #interactiveFiction stories to gauge interest in a serial. Maybe #twine, maybe #inform, maybe TADS

* Turn AC/DC's "Back in Black" into a #ttrpg scenario for Friday's Feng Shui game

* read some #comicbooks for that new YT channel idea I had

Let's get to it.

I was at a very short #Twine workshop yesterday where we were shown the graphical interface with draggable squares and wiki-like mark-up and nice little arrows and so on. Is that also used for big, complicated Twine games? I was expecting something looking a lot more like a traditional programming interface! #interactivefiction

I love interactive narrative and its possibilities, I have a fair bit of knowledge of #twine, to the point of implementing an #ink-like continuous-writing structure in it; but my ADD and stuffing my head with narrative models and points of interest have been getting in the way of producing stuff in my free time. I hope I can remedy that.

#Introduction
Hi Mastodon! I'm an indie game developer, writer, and narrative designer, best known for the text-based game Seedship and its successor, Beyond the Chiron Gate. Before I went indie, I was a content developer for an MMORPG. I've also written a science fiction novel, and have recently been getting into TTRPG design.

Hi people making games! I am yue, a quality assurance head in the software/web industry. I work for a web-based platform that creates a marketplace of digital twins for real world fabrics in 3D real time. I worked for Sony and Travelers Tales once upon a time.

I also have a Masters in Games Design! My thesis was on the structural analysis of text based adventure games (which I love very much!).

I am dabbling with #Python and #JavaScript in my spare time these days. I also play the saxophone (alto and tenor). I love games and I can’t wait to get involved and learn more.

Thought I'd move my pinned #games thread over here from the bird site. I am a hobbyist game designer, mostly working in #textgames :blobcatreading:. Here are the ones I've made so far (they are all free to play):

🕵‍♀️ The Mysterious Affair of the Harrowgate Literary Society (a detective game - #Ink ) https://lulamorashi.itch.io/mysterious-affair

⚓ The Captain's Cabin (an escape room - #Ink ) https://lulamorashi.itch.io/the-captains-cabin

🥃 The Midnight Club (an escape room - #Ink ) https://lulamorashi.itch.io/the-midnight-club

🛍 The Mall is Dead (an escape room - #Inform7 ) https://lulamorashi.itch.io/the-mall-is-dead

🎭 Five Minute Call (a stage manager simulator - #bitsy ) https://lulamorashi.itch.io/five-minute-call

⛵ A Long Voyage (an interactive fiction experiment - #Twine )
https://lulamorashi.itch.io/a-long-voyage

I'm also writing some words for @soundasleep 's game 🚀Adaptory, which is currently in alpha: https://soundasleepful.itch.io/adaptory?fbclid=IwAR3Xem1henkLD0JYgs9_Q6yFOZioDqFSRn56nRO0P1r66pVaJA8iFla7Kuk

Nouvelle intro! Kris: joueuse, MJ et créatrice de jeux. Je m'intéresse surtout aux jeux de rôle et à la fiction interactive. Je fais un peu de musique parfois aussi. J'ai tendance à me lancer dans plein de projets en même temps. Vous trouverez mes différents liens dans ma bio.

I repackaged Memory Lane for @itchio today! It's a re-release of one of my older experiences.

A short, noir-inspired cyberpunk heist adventure. It's free to play. I hope you enjoy!
