My 2020 text adventure, brutally exiled from textadventures uk, is now forever on itch io!

Journey again to a land of fantasy as a 1 inch tall tiny! It's quite rough!

Will this game be hosted anywhere else once it's taken down from textadventures? I'd be a shame if nobody else could play it anymore.

Quest Player Update!
Hi everyone! You may have seen this from some other creators, but with the release of Quest Viva, textadventures is updating its policy to no longer allow adult games on its site. (This is an understa...

So it turns out with the Quest Viva update also comes a site update that the textadventures site is no longer gonna host adult content

Which is a fine and understandable policy update given you can now host those games anywhere, not upset about it. I'll just probably be hosting them direct on itch

The textadventures site banning sexual content is even more absurd after reading their statement. They don’t even cite advertisers or laws as their reason, just that it “isn’t what the site is for” despite it becoming a large portion of what is played.

Due to rising puritanism, my game will no longer be hosted on the textadventures website as of November 1st. I suspected this day was coming when they unlisted adult content. Fortunately, you can still find it on Newgrounds: www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/...
Hi MoxieBunn, We've updated our content policy: textadventures.co.uk no longer hosts games with sexual or fetish content (read the policy). We've reviewed the following game of yours, which fall under this policy: A Bun in Vulpineva: A Vore Adventure Game On 1 November 2026, this game will be removed from the site. Until then, they can still be played as normal. To keep your game available to players: Download your game. When you're logged in, the game's page has a "Download all game files" button. Host it somewhere else - for example on itch.io. For Quest games, the Quest Viva publishing guide explains how. Tell players where it's gone. On the game's page, click "Set where this game has moved to". After the game is removed, players following old links will be pointed to its new home. If you think we've got this wrong - for example, if your game was tagged "Adult" for violence or horror rather than sexual content - please contact us before 1 November 2026 with the name of the game, and we'll take another look. Replies to this email aren't monitored. Thanks, The textadventures.co.uk team

🛍️ I’ve been yacking about these mags elsewhere on the socials, and there are at least four more issues sold as a result of simply sharing my delight, which had caught the interest of others.

Mentioning things in passing is powerful 🤓👍

📬 A while ago I was listening to The @retroadventurers.bsky.social podcast in which @jasoncompton.bsky.social mentioned “The Classic Adventurer” magazine.

I ordered the remastered Issue 01 and it is 😍👌

A copy of issue 01 of “The Classic Adventurer” magazine in its Remastered edition placed on a table. A peek inside the Contents page of “The Classic Adventurer” issue 01. Inside there’s an extensive Level 9 interview. And other pages show large artwork/screenshots with text around them, like this image that spans across two pages.

👨‍💻 Take a look at the various issues of “The Classic Adventurer” here 👇

There are free PDFs, though I prefer a printed magazine myself.

I got mine from Lulu who do print-on-demand publications that are really high quality.

Absolutely delighted

📬 Today’s video game book spotlight goes to a pair of adventure game tomes by Shaun McClure.

I learned of them via a mention of one in an episode of The @retroadventurers.bsky.social podcast

📚🎮 #VideoGames ⌨️ #TextAdventures #InteractiveFiction 🗺️ #NonFictionBooks 💡📚💙 #BookSky 🦋 #SeptemberBookHaul 📦
A pair of paperback books arranged side-by-side on a table. Both are by Shaun McClure. On the left is “How to Design Adventure Games” while “A Guide to ZX Spectrum Adventure Games 1982 - 1985” sits to the right. A peek inside at the contents page for “A Guide to ZX Spectrum Adventure Games 1982 - 1985”. The back of the two books.

📬 Looking into the Design book revealed the thick #ZXSpectrum Guide book.

Now, as much as I like me some text adventuring, I actually much prefer reading from physical books than on screens.

📚🎮 #VideoGames ⌨️ #TextAdventures #InteractiveFiction 🗺️ #NonFictionBooks 💡📚💙 #BookSky 🦋 #SeptemberBookHaul 📦
Two paperback books by Shaun McClure arranged next to each other on a table. “How to Design Adventure Games” is placed flat while “A Guide to ZX Spectrum Adventure Games 1982 - 1985” is stood up right so we can see the thickness. Both paperback books are now stood on their side, spine facing up, so we can see the difference in thickness. “How to Design Adventure Games” is much slimmer than the chonk of “A Guide to ZX Spectrum Adventure Games 1982 - 1985”. Rather curiously, the design book is “By Shaun McClure” rather than just the author name. It’s inconsistent with the guide book, and looks odd.

In defence of #TextAdventures with choons, music bulldozes my concentration so this might, in fact, just be my weird brain🚫🧠

I don't remember much about it as a game though, so it can't have been premium grippingness. But the original box art was amazing for all the right 𝘢𝘯𝘥 wrong reasons😂

I kind of started out with #textadventures when I went into game dev. "The Cats of Crossed Elder" is one of my favourites so far.

Do you like it better when
a) you click on prompts to advance or
b)enter text to advance?

because I couldn't decide.
