Visible Zorker status: Deadline is now available to Patreon supporters, and I have started work on Starcross.

I'll do a full blog post at the beginning of May; that's when Visible Zork 3 goes live on the public site (https://eblong.com/infocom/visi/). I'll stick to beginning-of-the-month status reports from here on out.

The Visible Zorker Project

A software exhibit that allows you to explore the source code of Infocom's text adventures.

We have some bite sized introduction to #ink posts for writing #interactivefiction / #visualnovels up on YouTube and I’m hoping to do a few more next week. I’ll definitely be doing a follow on about conditions (the different comparison operators and “switch” statements) and I’ll probably also do a video version of this blog post.

If you’ve got requests or ideas for other focused mini-videos let me know commenting here or over at the IntFiction forums (intfiction.org/t/ink-introdu...)

Playing some text adventures during my break 🙂

Still some rough edges and it's a bit wonky on mobile, but here's the site I've been building to play 1980s infocom text adventures. The three publicly available zork games are built in but you can play others if you can find them on the interweb.

GO NORTH AND TAKE SHOVEL!

Let me know how you get on.

He estat absent aquests dies, entre d'altres motius, per haver quedar aferrat a aquest joc: Type Help.

Provau-lo si podeu, perquè a més de ser una xulada, és gratuït. Temptat de fer-ne una traducció al català, si no fos que el meu anglès no té el nivell.

Type Help

A puzzle-mystery game inspired by Return of the Obra Dinn, Her Story, Unheard and The Roottrees are Dead. Investigate the files on an old computer that once belonged to a mysterious outside agent. The files detail the gruesome story of Galley House, a case that was said to be unsolvable. What really happened at Galley House? And what did the agent find out that lead to their death? Delve through deeper and deeper layers of mystery as you piece together the grand puzzle. And remember... There are no ghosts in Galley House!

Doki Doki: Google zensuriert

Google hat das beliebte Psychohorror-Spiel »Doki Doki Literature Club!« aus dem Play Store entfernt. Laut Dan Salvato, dem Leiter des Entwicklerteams, und dem Publisher Serenity Forge begründete Google die Entfernung der Visual Novel mit einem Verstoß gegen die Nutzungsbedingungen aufgrund der Darstellung sensibler Themen. https://kantel.github.io/posts/2026041501_google_zensuriert/ #InteractiveFiction #VisualNovel #DigitaleSouveränität #Games #Zensur

Three years after its release, Star Trek: Resurgence is about to be delisted for good

The publisher’s “license to distribute” has come to an end, so it’s goodbye to the Telltale Games inspired outing.
