* Update: Monday 27th June (morning) – Lots of bug fixes. Should be a little easier to make it through to the ‘end’. Still no sign of grenades yet, though.

What better way to get into all this than a certain MiniLD #27, where the pressure isn’t too great and the theme is more fun than a fridge full of monkeys? This is my first hack at interactive fiction – I’m using Inform 7, for the first time, and it has<\/em> taken me longer than I thought to figure out how it all works. Loving it, though!<\/p>\n

Since around 9 on Saturday night, I’ve been badgering (badgering; to badger; do badgerific things) on a text adventure. I kind of strayed from the dialog centered chocolate experience, but there’s definitely dialog sprinkled around (like, say, nuts) so it should be a nice snack at the very least. Mmm. Snack.<\/p>\n

It’s getting to the point where I don’t think that I’m going to finish this in time, so I’m posting up a link now just to be sure to get something in before the deadline…<\/p>\n

My game is a remake of the first Call of Duty game in the format of a text adventure \/ interactive fiction piece. In 48 hours, given the fact that I’ve never used Inform before, I think I was dreamin’.<\/p>\n

I call this – “Text of Duty”<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/strong>I expect a cease and desist to be in the mail by the end of the week, of course, or at least the distribution of some legal penguins to the pool – that’s the way things go these days, isn’t it? Well, so be it. That’s the kind of rock n’ roll we crazies like to mosh to.<\/p>\n

All the best to the other MiniLD’ers!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Keep up the fantastic work \":)\"<\/p>\n
