The Wikigame continues along its happy path towards development enlightenment, aiming to be complete - or at least playable - by the end of this month. There have been a few minor stumbles (our own CT Miller has had to concede that his imminent move to the West Coast of America must take priority for the next few weeks and will be sorely missed), but we've come this far thanks to the kind assistance of the gamesblog massive and we're going to prevail.
The Upper Deck of the Spaceship has been completely signed off, and the coders are grappling with Inform7, the language they've chosen to use to realise the designers' crazy dreams. According to Perrin, our in-house game designer who's being cajoled into a potential coding leadership position by the others, "I like inform7 it's strange but pleasant to work with. Inform7 is very transparent code. It's all written in natural language".
We expect to have a playable something - even if it is just a couple of rooms - by the end of next week, so get your interactive fiction player hats on. We're excited to hear your feedback - and there'll be more ways you can help out after then! And if you fancy learning a new language, forget Spanish or Chinese, Inform7 could be in your future!
