NEW MEDIA: Interactive Fiction
I’ve been wanting for a long time to write a text adventure in Inform or some such, ever since getting riled up by Photopia years ago in a new media class. Likely should’ve taken this course this semester because they did indeed put together an IF piece called “The Good, The Bad, and The Lolli” which I of course tried out. It’s been a while since I’ve played in IF, and yet the same issues prevailed: I am directionally dysfunctional, do not state clearly what I want, and get annoyed easily.
