Interactive Fiction that I made

So I mentioned a little while ago that I had been inspired to write interactive fiction and claimed I would post something if I finished it. Since claiming such it turns out that the project I started is going to be massive, so I figured I’d post the first chunk and update it whenever I finish another part. So here it is: Locked In. If anyone can be arsed it would also be nice to get some feedback or info if anyone notices anything that could be changed to improve. If anyone is interesting it is made with a freeware program called Twine.

Interactive fiction

So I’ve been sick for a little while, a fairly regular occurrence at this point, and I’ve been stuck at home for a little over a week. I was reading some interactive fiction, starting with a game called Alter Ego, by Peter Favaro, where you simulate playing through someone’s entire life. There are some issues, the main one being of choice, but if you’ve ever tried to write interactive fiction they are quite minor, in that they would require a lot more writing. The other’s I’ve played, and even bought, are Choice of Robots by Kevin Gold, in which you play a robot builder and have a profound impact on the course of history, and Neighbourhood Necromancer by Gavin Inglis, which is exactly what it sounds like.

I was considering reviewing them, but the problem with doing so is the need to play through multiple times to try the different story tracks, I might write about them anyway, but I have yet to decide. But the reason this is relevant is that going through these stories has inspired me to write some interactive fiction of my own, which I will post when I get anything finished.

Regularity

So clearly I haven’t added anything for a while, mainly because I didn’t get around to it, or didn’t get anything done, or whatever. I think I need to admit once more that regularity, especially with a blog, is just not something that interests me overly. Except that that isn’t really the case, so once more I will make the empty promise to post more often. I don’t know about regularly, but I will do it every so often, when there’s something I want to post. I will be posting whatever I want, whenever I want, so I’ll see how that goes. Thank you if you have had patience, and if you have not then there are no hard feelings.
