Having only the one paintbrush with me was sad but I don’t hate the outcome

Despairy Canary at Cabrillo National monument in San Diego. The palm weevil is spread by tree trimming equipment and although effective treatments exist, most people don’t bother

Looking for suggestions of good recent choice-based #interactiveFiction games - your twines, your inks, your hand-rolled. Stuff outside of ifComp/SpringThing/IntroComp etc.

Even better if you can point me to where these games are announced/released/discussed beyond the int-fiction forum.

Some brief musings on "Parser versus choice-based interactive fiction" with reference to my games Border Reivers (IFComp 2018), Napier's Cache (SpringThing 2020) and my upcoming IFComp 2024 game Bad Beer. With thoughts on which model an author should choose. vivdunstan.dreamwidth.org/525756.html

just broke 10k words in my wip... which means i'm 1/5th of the way done. absolutely bananas
Writing statistics and a line graph depicting Cuspid's progress. 10,000 words has been broken, with a daily writing average above the daily minimum to stay on track for a SpringThing release.

I have a new game! It's one of 35 released for #SpringThing 2025.

Play as a spy w/ access to tech to reverse a thing's name & turn it into something else. You must use it to rescue fellow agents who've themselves been reversed.

Play the Spring Thing games below!

The cover art for Retool Looter. The background is a pale yellow. The first word of the title is red and the second is a more saturated yellow. The second word has had its letters mirrored. The two words overlap and form a brown color at their points of intersection. Below them is what appear to be a pair of walls meeting at the center of the image, the same red and brown color as above. The author's name is written at the bottom, "Charm" in the title's yellow and "Cochran" in the title's red.

I’m excited to announce that I have a game in #SpringThing ! It’s a mini-sequel to #yancygame (Yancy At The End Of The World!).
Mack is concerned for his friend Yancy. A three-card tarot reading gives Mack the opportunity to ask some questions.
#twine #interactivefiction #yancy3cardreading
A screenshot of the game “Three-Card Reading”. It shows text scrolling upwards from the middle of the screen, and the character Mack is highlighted while the characters Yancy & Caleb are faded out, showing that they are not the ones whose inner thoughts are on-screen. There is also a fall background. The highlighted box on the screen reads, “The more I think about things with Yancy, the weirder things seem.” A screenshot of the game “Three-Card Reading”. It shows text scrolling upwards from the middle of the screen, and the character Yancy is highlighted while the characters Mack & Caleb are faded out, showing that Yancy is the one speaking. There is also a fall background. The highlighted dialogue on the screen reads, “. . . so the Nine Of Wands is about perseverance, but it also means you’re partway through the fight, that you’re almost there. Does that make sense?” A screenshot of the game “Three-Card Reading”. It shows text scrolling upwards from the middle of the screen, and the character Mack is highlighted while the characters Yancy & Caleb are faded out, showing that they are not the ones whose inner thoughts are on screen. There is also a fall background. The highlighted box on the screen reads, “Well, fuck. I guess the universe is waving a flashing sign in my face. . . I’d be pretty stupid not to act on it.” A screenshot of the game “Three-Card Reading”. It shows text scrolling upwards from the middle of the screen, and the character Yancy is highlighted while the characters Mack & Caleb are faded out, showing that Yancy is the one speaking. There is also a fall background. The highlighted dialogue on the screen reads, I don’t know if you’ll believe me about what happened. It’s kind of . . . crazy? Beyond comprehension? Yeah, let’s go with that.”

Just played Sweetpea by @sophiades.bsky.social. Beautiful stuff. The claustrophobic atmosphere is so perfectly gothic, and text effects are used masterfully to make the game feel like a living text.

A choice based, narrative, lightly gothic horror romp. Previously released in SpringThing 2022.
