I've been doing a lot more work on "Who Whacked Jimmy Piñata?" lately. It's now possible to confess your sins in the Church of the Immaculate Confection, and you may very well want to: it's hard to investigate a murder in Sugar City without getting one's hands a little dirty.

Bubble Gumshoe has a beloved mentor who's just two days from retirement. This cannot possibly end badly.

‘Operational intelligence in logistics is Europe’s main driver in developing an AI strategy,’ says INFORM CEO http://dlvr.it/TKnD1X #AI #artificialintelligence #INFORM #RailNews
VibeWire Magazine - Transport, Politics, UFO, Paranormal, Anything · ‘Operational intelligence in logistics is Europe’s main driver in developing an AI strategy,’ says INFORM CEO - VibeWire MagazineEurope risks being a “passive observer” in the global artificial intelligence race, lagging behind the massive AI model training in the U.S. and China’s strategic…
Samuel Proulx Can #AI Play Text Adventure Games? Turns out AI does perfectly well at playing text adventures. I hooked Google Gemini 2.5 into the famous #Inform text adventure Curses, it became obsessed with fiddling around with the torch, got a game over twice for trying to take the gloves from the potting room, then got fed up and quit. Entirely too relatable. But that was boring, and I really wanted a blog post out of this idea! stuff.interfree.ca/2025/05/11/textadventure.html

Inform 7 source code for my IFComp game "Bad Beer" is now freely available in the IFArchive. It is also linked from Bad Beer's IFDB game web page. April 1 is Source Code Amnesty Day for interactive fiction games. More info about my release in my intfiction forum post https://intfiction.org/t/source-code-amnesty-day-2025/74279/19 #Inform #interactiveFiction #game #coding #GameDev #IndieGames #sourceCode #IFComp
The Interactive Fiction Community Forum · Source Code Amnesty Day 2025Bad Beer’s Inform 7 source code is in IFArchive and linked from the IFDB game page: The source code is presented in its original untidied form. Rather devoid of comments 😜 Using chapters to break up the game. And within each chapter broken down further into locations, NPCs and scenes. There’s also an “Extra coding” section at the end, implementing a few extra things. The code is pretty standard stuff. The only points of possibly particular interest are: The use...
Reminded of April 1 Source Code Amnesty Day for interactive fiction games, I've just uploaded Inform source code for my IFComp 2024 entry Bad Beer. Source uploaded to IFArchive, and will take some days to process. Maybe ready by April 1st or soon after? Fab initiative. https://www.ifwiki.org/Source_Code_Amnesty_Day #IFComp #interactiveFiction #coding #sourceCode #Inform #GameDev #IndieGame

Good bit of middle of the night #Inform 7/10 #interactiveFiction #coding, researching the "Hybrid Choices" extension, which will let me switch to CYOA choice format for a few key dialogue moments in my parser text adventure game. Looks like it should be perfect for my needs. https://github.com/i7/extensions/blob/10.1/AW%20Freyr/Hybrid%20Choices-v7.i7x #GameDev #IndieGame #TextAdventure
Possibly my favourite thing about writing these Bubble Gumshoe text adventures is coming up with the confectionery-based characters and little jokes about them.

Continued thread
And several minutes later after updating my #Twine version I've made a good start. The Twine plot/puzzle diagram for just part of my new parser #interactiveFiction #game is already vastly more complex than the example in the picture above. I've lots more to figure out before I can start #coding it properly in #Inform 7/10.
Firing up #Twine to figure out a plot/geography puzzle/state transition diagram for my current #interactiveFiction parser #game. I don't usually do this but since this portion of my game will require #coding a lot of mini scenes and timed actions in #Inform 7/10 I want to design first. Sort of like in pic (not this game). #GameDev #IndieGame #GameDesign

Downnorthwest is a direction. Understand "dnw" as downnorthwest. Downnorthwest has opposite upsoutheast.
Back to #interactiveFiction #game #coding, in #Inform, an almost magical natural language / declarative / object oriented #programming language for traditional parser interactive fiction games. I'm in early stages of my next game, but getting stuck in. Luckily for flighty me I have 7 main sections of game that I can work on independently. So can flit about as much as want to, depending on which bit(s) I feel inspired to work on at a time. #GameDev #IndieGame #IndieGames #TextGame #TextAdventure
