Here's a slightly belated write-up of the results to IFComp 2025 and how my games fit into them. Includes shocking revelations about the authorship of not one, but TWO entries in this year's comp!

The Interactive Fiction Competition 2025 is on now! Here's a post about my entry - Who Whacked Jimmy Piñata? - and the competition in general, plus some handy tips to help UK judges see the full selection of entries despite the Online Safety Act.

There's something going on today, what was it...

oh, yeah, umpty-bajorlion (which means about 83) new IF games in #IFComp2025. Check em out!

Looks like nearly a quarter of them were written in Inform, but like I say every year, I hope everyone plays games of all shapes, sizes, form factors, interfaces, and systems of origin.

Vote early, vote often!

it's not too late to donate a prize to #IFComp2025. Cash to the Colossal Fund:

https://ifcomp.org/about/prizes

or some service or tangible prize like these from past comps:

https://ifcomp.org/about/past_prizes

Books, games, coffee, chocolate, or creating a sonnet, comic, music, even a whole 'nother game inspired by a winner's game

(After a winner selects a prize, the Comp connects winner and donor to arrange things. If you're offering a physical prize, keep shipping costs in mind: the Comp is international.)
