This week, the Wikigamers have been amusing themselves by tweaking the dialogue and language of Chapter One. In the design department, CunningStunt has proven a goldmine in bizarre insults ("thundering octopial oaf" and "cloth eared tobyjug" are my personal favourites) and descriptions of gore. Coding-wise, DennisChow's been teaching himself the programming language of the game, Inform 6, offering some much-needed help to the team of programmers frantically working to incorporate all of the strange goings on which the designers are continuously adding to.
We've added a corpse and a reason for the shovel. The pub landlady's becoming more cantankerous too. There's been a major shift in one of the puzzles, and we've added some player deaths (courtesy of the gruesome mind of CunningStunt). But the most widespread change across the wiki's pages is the moniker of the main character. I must admit, I find it strange to see my name attached to the mysterious protagonist. I'd come to identify with Bob. I hope I turn out OK in the end. At least now I know what's going to happen to me in Chapter 2...
