the panelists for Interactive Fiction: Video Game Storytellers

There’s more space under the umbrella of interactive fiction than I knew, coming from the Zork corner of that universe.

I’ve been a fan of the puzzle-style games as long as I can remember. I always keep a bunch of Andrew Plotkin’s games (and other authors) in Frotz on my phone for spare moments.

The panelists’ advice for getting started was simple: try writing a choose your own adventure game in Twine. Just give it a try!

They highlighted an excellent example of modern interactive fiction: The Writer Will Do Something.

No one mentioned MUDs, MOOs, and other multiplayer text-based games. Maybe those games are not literate enough? 🤔
