LD20 — It's Dangerous to Go Alone! Take This!

Dangerous II by SMSadventure 2011-05-02T22:29:00

tnelsond: While "use" is pretty much the verb of choice in graphical adventures, it is actually a very uncommon verb in text adventures because it is so vague.

alexlarioza: Though there is at least one Flash interpreter for zcode (which is the simpler/smaller of the formats Inform can compile to), "DangerousII" is actually running in Parchment, which is JavaScript, not Flash: http://code.google.com/p/parchment/

In recent versions of Inform 7, making a webpage that uses Parchment to play your zcode game is as easy as saying "Release along with an interpreter." If you're looking at making a game that's too big to compile to zcode, a javascript glux interpreter, called Quixe, is in beta now, though it does not yet support images/sound. So yes, if you're interested in interactive fiction, there are plenty of options and you should definitely look into it!

LD25 — You are the Villain

Pitoum, be sure to also play <a href="http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-25/?action=preview&uid=2634">V I L L I A N Y</a> and <a href="http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-25/?action=preview&uid=14425">CYBERQUEEN</a> (trigger warning for very effective body horror in the latter).

LD26 — Minimalism

Julian, thanks for the detailed feedback!

I'm not totally sure what you mean by buzzing -- do you just mean that it sounds obviously synthy, or is there an additional noise layer (that I guess I'm not hearing, probably because my headphones aren't great)?

Oh no, the server had totally crashed. D: Should be back up now; thanks folks for the heads up.

LD30 — Connected Worlds

Hi Nut --
You've got all the content. There might be some additional insight if you look into the real-world history of the site, but this is basically an intro and as such there isn't yet anywhere to go from there. I do have some thoughts as to where I want the plot to go, so fingers crossed and maybe there will be more in the future. :) (I see we're friends-of-friends, so I'm happy to discuss on Twitter/email if you're curious where I see the plot going.)

Unfortunately this seems to not work as intended on a retina display; we had the same problem as frogcheese above. Good music, though!
