Vivienne Dunstan<p>Of course "ought to be easy" is a very risky thing to say when it comes to writing and coding up computer games, including interactive fiction! But I also know they're the sections that need the least amount of work still done on them. And they are also almost certainly best tackled late in the day. <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/game" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>game</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/GameDev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GameDev</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/InteractiveFiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>InteractiveFiction</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/IndieGame" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IndieGame</span></a></p>
Vivienne Dunstan<p>Thinking about what needs to be tackled/finished, I'm thinking I'll code the rest in order of chapters 2, 5, 6, 4, 1, 3 and 7. The first three are ones I'm currently most excited to tackle. Coding 4 from existing plot design should be fairly mechanical. And finishing 1, 3 and 7 ought to be be easy. <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/game" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>game</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/GameDev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GameDev</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/InteractiveFiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>InteractiveFiction</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/IndieGame" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IndieGame</span></a></p>
Vivienne Dunstan<p>Taking stock of my latest parser interactive game writing progress. Much to do, but encouraged can finish in time for IFComp 2026. And can see a way forward in the short term.

Deka Black<p>I remember playing Eric the Unready. One of the very best text adventures i've ever played. The puzzle regarding the two-headed giant is one of the hardest and best designed i remember.</p><p>Also, i remember swearing like a madman after every failed attempt at solving it, of course.</p><p>That one and the Epic of Baldur joke are two moments i LOVE from that game.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/EricTheUnready" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EricTheUnready</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/TextAdventure" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TextAdventure</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/InteractiveFiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>InteractiveFiction</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Retrogaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Retrogaming</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AdventureGame" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AdventureGame</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AventuraConversacional" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AventuraConversacional</span></a></p>
