Epic Hero 3 continues, as I manage to blow myself up, communicate with aliens, and use a biological transformation chamber (which is just as neat as it sounds).

In MysteryCity, a Brazilian author weaves the dark era of the 1940s into a highly political #TextAdventure. He offers a fascinating outsider's perspective on a corrupt America, where the shadows of the swastika and Russian agents pull the strings behind the scenes. An atmospheric noir thriller, the struggle for global supremacy is fought even in the darkest alleys of a fictional metropolis.

All the Adventures reaches the 3rd game of the Canadian who moved to England, Marc Leduc. We're looking for alien life that's been detected on Venus.

The previous game was good, but is the natural desire of authors to make later games difficult going to be a problem?

#GeniusLoci is a #fantasy #world I have been building for a while. You may have found some posts around my channels. I made a "landing" page or hub if you will, where new things to experience will be collected.

Sounds vague? That's because GL's roadmap is still a bit fuzzy.

Right now it has a #textadventure, The Spirit in the Door. I would love to make more games for it in the future, and expand the RPG side of it.
Ask me anything, I love talking about Genius Loci!

Made a new #IF for The #Elders for Eternal #TTRPG #Jam. Go into a titan - don't worry, it's dead - and photohunt #cats!

All the Adventures returns, visiting Saskatchewan, Canada with the interesting conceptually (but disasterous technically) game Deed of the York, where the player's goal is to solve a single puzzle hinted at by clues through the entire house

It was a cold and rainy day today so I decided to rework the parser of my text adventure game skeleton.

So now you can enter a simple sentence as can be seen in the screenshot which is better than the two-word approach I initially implemented (still not Infocom like but then that's not what I am after).

What happens in the background is that the user input is split into sub-strings which are then checked against a list of strings (e.g. object names, verbs), leaving their corresponding list index number on the stack. These numbers are then used within the actual game logic.

Oh, and I've added some colors - now the thing is beginning to look like a game ...
