Pull up a chair and I'll pour you a glass of Khamsin red wine or giant snail milk.</p><p>... <br /></p><p>You're not thirsty, then? All the more for me.</p><p>So I've been struggling a bit for the past few years, but I'm trying to get back into the swing of Making Things, at least as much as the Universe will let me. What have I been trying to make? Well, there's a few things that are on the boil: <br /></p><h2 style="text-align: left;">Static Choice-Based Thing</h2><p style="text-align: left;">I'm excited to have submitted a piece to the zine <a href="https://enduremyheart-zine.carrd.co/">Endure, My Heart: A Video Game Journey</a>. It's a CYOA-style story with 40+ short passages and some very light inventory/note taking. There's one other choice-based piece being submitted, as well as some cool art and fun short stories.</p><p style="text-align: left;">The zine's being developed at a stress-free pace, but you might be able to find out more come (Northern Hemisphere) summer.</p><h2 style="text-align: left;">Small Parser-Based Thing</h2><p style="text-align: left;">I've more or less finished a small parser game in Linus Åkesson's <a href="https://www.linusakesson.net/dialog/">Dialog</a> language. It's pretty weird and probably the least accessible interactive fiction I've made since <i>Rogue of the Multiverse</i>. I'll probably be trying to pass this in front of some other people soon-ish, although life keeps getting in the way.<br /></p><p style="text-align: left;">As for Dialog: do I feel confident writing in it? No. Do I like that it makes small game files and doesn't insert extra linebreaks everywhere (unlike certain other IF languages)? Yeah, I would say so.<br /></p><h2 style="text-align: left;">Secret New Thing</h2><p style="text-align: left;">Throughout 2021 I worked on a text game of sorts in vanilla JavaScript. I completed the design and writing, but when the thing itself neared completion I decided that the basic mode of interaction was just not very good.</p><p style="text-align: left;">This project languished on my hard drive until this year, when I found myself looking at everything I did for it and feeling a bit sad about it. And then I got the idea to try reimplementing it in <a href="https://www.renpy.org/">Ren'py</a>. So far I have nothing to show for this, but once I get my parser game out of the door, I'm eager to get started.</p><p style="text-align: left;"> </p><p style="text-align: left;">Well, that's everything.<br /></p><p style="text-align: left;">"Catch you on the flip side, dudemeisters."</p>C.E.J.

Weird City Interloper</h1>
<i>An interactive tale of strange conspiracy.</i><br />
<br />
Pull up your hood, lower your gaze and enter the city of Zendon. If you can gather enough information, you may just be able to change the course of history.<br />
<br />
(<i>Weird City Interloper</i> is a shallow but broad conversation game.)<br />

Kind of a game jam in which everyone makes a contribution to the ideas behind every other entrant's games.<br /><br />I think my game was a bit too big for the time I had to work on it, so I'm not going to crow about it yet. It needs a fair bit more implementation, although it is basically playable as it stands (just a bit sparse and buggy as well).<br /><br />Expect a proper release some time over the next week or two.Pacianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15674211302650875387noreply@blogger.com1
