I regret to inform7 you ma'am but your son is dead. Your son is found in the Grey Hallway. The description of your son is "a poor soul who died in these hallowed halls." The son is wearing a backpack. The backpack is openable and closed.

If I made a parser-based game in TADS3 or Inform7, would anybody play it?

Would it encourage people to support the development of future such games on patreon? I probably couldn't pull it off without a return because of CAPITALISM (I need work).

Well, my flashlight system is totally broken and has to be reworked from the ground up. The brightness fading system isn't working :c

Ran into a small combat issue where the hostile spirit was still attacking the player after the death message printed. Working on solving that through some variable rules to toggle in combat!

Bun is completely a different animal from what Im going for.

Why would you even compare Bun and Inform7?

I did it! Well, for the most part. I have a functioning battery replacement system again, which took ages. Now I need to establish charge depletion of batteries. That shouldn't be too hard, I think.

Back to the work week, I'll work on my game when I can at home! I have a friend demoing what I have so far for feedback to make sure I'm on the right track c:

My combat system is finally complete and functioning exactly as I want it to! Wandering Spirit is my first hostile character, who begins passive, and she will follow you from room to room after becoming hostile and attack you. I'm so proud 🥹

Tried to work on my game last night, but it was 28C in the house with the AC going and I couldn't think straight 😅 (when do I ever?)

Now that we're in Chapter 2, room descriptions are getting crazy long. This is so fun o(〃＾▽＾〃)o

went to @wonderville.nyc's monthly 2 Hour Game Jam for the first time in a good while! We learned some Inform7 and got to fiddle with it. Here's my bad game!

Gosh what a finnicky supposed-to-be-intuitive-but-really-isn't game engine lol Parsers are cool tho!

Hah! I had to completely remove one of Inform's built-in rules, but my combat system is functioning exactly as I intended it now! Well, player combat. Now I need to define enemy combat, easy peasy (I say now.)

I've put a lot of focus on learning to use Tables effectively in Inform 7, and I think I've got it down! They're saving me a ton of repetitive code and/or extensive condition trees and make readability so smooth!

Dammit, now that I'm done with room brightness and lantern properties, I have to go back to trying to get a custom combat system to work ;-;

Inform's built in cleaning feature threw me for a loop. I couldn't seem to override it! I problem-solved my way out of it though and now have a new spooky scene for players to enjoy~

Just hit 6000 words in «When It Rains»! I can't believe I've already come this far with the story.
