ChatGPT 4o (and possibly earlier ones) can actually create copy-pasteable Inform 7 code from just a description. I asked it to make a text adventure version of Myst, and it was able to give me a sample game that had the same concept (right from the dock with the misty sea and the boat)... It wasn't complete by any means but it was there. And it can debug its own code if you paste in the Inform compiler errors.

Finally i ended up applying this amazing feature and my project- now is better by being documented thanks!

Hi! you quickly mentionned interactive audio fictions and I would love to learn som emore, I have been searching but I can't find any, do you have other places/titles to look for? Otherwise thank you very much for the video, it's so good and well made!!

Gracias! Usted indica un programa útil para pasar partitras de PDF a midi. Investigaré pasados unos días.

Can't wait to read it

Great vid, thanks!

Thanks for the shoutout!

"Depression Quest is famous for other reasons which I won't go into here" 💀💀💀

i was in 7th grade when i played Zork the first time back in '82. It might seem frustrating no to play now, but we were all enthralled at what seemed like a game where you could do anything you wanted

thanks for mentioning our drumbeam! we are super excited to get it out for you all later this year :)

Some interesting MIDI kit there, Chris, and it looks like it was a great day at Superbooth. That drum kit also seemed really weird but very portable. Thanks for the overview.

I finished this for the second time this morning. The first time was several years ago. I forgot how good it is.

Love the video! Been researching this because I’ve been working on a fully analogue interactive fiction RPG and hadn’t found any until now. Pretty much everything modern seems to be digital to some extent. I’ll have to check out the Lone Wolf series because it looks a lot like what I’ve been making!

But of course, the Narcoman Pavlik bests them all, though I don't think it's still on yt

Hi, is it possible to justify the text inside the blocks. Idk but margin-left is a bit ugly and seemed a bit messed.

Why would you create an hour video going through a process that we ourselves could?

Y'all went through a demo but we don't get to see it? =(

You rock❤

Excellent and detailed tutorial. Thank you!

Its only for mobile phones meh - goodbye.

The ending 😂

nice to hear the creator of the browser im useing now

This video is incredibly useful and valuable. Thank you Chris for this tutorial, it deserves tons of likes. I love shortcuts!

Do not use Twiggy's name in vain.

HTML is sufficient to implement a very simple structure like that of the Choose Your Adventure books. Markdown is a more recently developed alternative used in various applications (the Obsidian “note taking” app being one I’ve used). For a sophisticated system a la classic Infocom, Level 9 and Magnetic Scrolls, the main two established tools are Inform 7 and TADS 3. Inform 7 is geared more to people coming from the writer’s mind; the program source code itself is about as thoroughly natural language as you can get (with all the advantages and disadvantages that come with the approach). TADS 3 is geared more to the programmer’s point of view, resembling languages such as C++ and Java. The seminal 1990s CD-ROM game _Myst_ was originally implemented in HyperCard, a MacIntosh-only rapid development platform that was very accessible to tyros. There have been a number of more recent attempts to release something akin to HyperCard, but I’m not aware of anything quite hitting the mark and still getting development support. Scratch, an MIT release especially intended for children, might be worth a look even by older beginners. The basic concept is one of “visual programming” by putting together interlocking blocks representing ‘boilerplate’ code, with gadgets for adjusting the parameters for your particular situation.

The paper format actually originated with the Tunnels & Trolls solos, starting with _Buffalo Castle_ in 1976. The limitations of that medium relative to digital programs were less significant when personal computers were more expensive, less powerful and less portable. “Not strictly interactive fiction but kind of” seems a bizarre way to speak of the medium to which the IF term was first applied, and in reference to which it finds most common usage. Colossal Cave Adventure debuted on minicomputer systems, and (broken up into three parts) as Zork for micros was the foundation for Infocom’s IF enterprise. The abbreviated title Adventure (used for the Scott Adams products with a less sophisticated parser) gave rise to the basically synonymous genre name for computer IF - “adventure games” - which outlived the commercial viability of the text-oriented form. That form is the focus of the annual Interactive Fiction Competition, which has featured among other significant works some to which peculiarities of the medium itself (and sometimes subverting conventions) are important artistic elements.

how do you copy and paste between the native operating system and the virtual machine?

Is WriterSide for writing documentation for code or am I not getting what is it for.

thanks for sharing this, i dont think i'll pick this up but good to know whats available/possible

0:14 its my fear that i will outgrow twine and want to learn to code i hope to stay satisfied in twine as im still a novice there but this seems interesting, thanks

man edging me by saving twine til the end but keeps referring to it

there's 2 steve jacksons, and it's not the other one

Excellent! Thanks!

Hi Chris. You have been looking for a way to insert existing folders into an adoc-Studio project. You can do this with a referencing project. This is a project type that exists precisely for this purpose. To create such a project, hold down the option key and go to the main menu. The item "New Referencing Project" now appears under File -> New. You can then simply drag and drop folders into the project. They are not copied but referenced.

Very informative. thank you.

Nicee.

Thanks for sharing this interview! I've just signed up at the fierogameengine site and hope I get to try this out soon!

Love Guy Fieri 👍

What is the tool called

cool

I begin to learn this after the claude 3 told me to

AsciidocFX is really quirky, but I'm fairly satisfied thus far. AsciiDoc is amazing. The simplicity of markdown, scalability of LaTeX and none of its complexity.

Which one is better/ more powerful ? Dendron or Obsidian ?

Thank you very much, this tour was highly informative ❤

Helpful walk-throughs. Thanks!

That's a great introduction and onboarding, thank you!

Great video. Thank you for your efforts going through Backstage's documentation (which is rough).

Some good old Aussie pub rock. With Goodies running and a peacock. Can't ask for more than that.

Very interesting information! Thanks for introducing those tools.

Colleagues, thank you for the interview. But what do you think about the capitalization of the AE token? Over the past 4 years it has decreased by orders of magnitude. Perhaps the management of the AE token is speculating on the stated capabilities, but in practice this was invented to deceive investors.
