Happy Holidays! *

So it’s early Christmas morning, and I’m enjoying my days off from work.  I’ve spend a good portion working on my games.  That’s right, games.  I now have several projects I’m working on.

I am soon going to post “Hell Breaks Loose”.  (If there’s another InterFic project with that name, let me know!)

I have seen several attempts with HTML-based interactive fiction, but I’ve never been pleased with it until I saw a project done in Twine… and I was more than just a little impressed.  It makes one HTML file and does all kinds of fun magic.  Since it is one file, after the first page loads, all the links are high-speed with almost no load-time noticeable.

Twine is intended to do Choose Your Adventure-style works, but I think it may be possible to make a game with it.  I’m finding out.

If it works, I’ll post the in-progress work.  …but I must say that describing 50 scenes (even short ones) can be frustratingly boring.

* = I don’t use ‘happy holidays’ as a “PC” way to greet people during this season.  I use it because I know how many different holidays there are, in rapid succession. (I celebrate more than one, so I keep things generalized.)  So, there ya go.  😉
