Lest you think the Wikigame project has disappeared, I am here to assure you that we are sturdily beavering away behind the scenes, and next week you will have the next phase of the demo for you to play with and pick apart.
Expect greatness, as the team is, in short, great.
And speaking of short, Emily Short, the uber-text adventure (aka interactive fiction) creator, has announced the finalists of an IF competition on her blog. Check it out and lose yourself in the latest and greatest home-created games.
DennisChow forwarded the link and this is my fave bit of his email:
I've only had the chance to play a few games so far, but one I played stuck in my mind called Violet that I'm sure you'd find very interesting. It's about a character who has one more day to complete his/her Phd dissertation (or some other academicy paper.) The main goal of the game is to defeat procrasination by any means necessary e.g. removing the ethernet cable from your computer and locking it in a cupboard to stop being distracted by online stuff like email and blogging, or py putting gum in your ears to stop being distracted by the noise from next door, and lots of other stuff -- it's a really fun game that I'm sure you'd greatly empathise with.
Indeed. Now, where's that chewing gum....
More on the great and beautiful Spaceship! wikigame next week.
