• Walker & Silhouette

  
  Emily Short's Interactive Fiction — Authority: 123
  Latest playing: CEJ Pacian’s brand-new game about an unlikely crime-fighting duo . It’s keyword-driven, a la Blue Lacuna but more so; that means it’s easy, but not so easy that there aren’t any puzzles at all. I think it took me 30-45 minutes to play, but I could be misestimating that. There’s mystery, ...

• Moral Choices in Games

  
  Saucers of Mud — Authority: 114
  An interesting discussion at Emily Short’s about moral choices in games, first between Emily and Victor Gijsbers and someone posting as “fabulous,” and then between me and Ron Newcomb. Here’s a good bit from Ron: Maybe it’s a squid-on-the-mantlepiece problem? Just as the author can’t dramatize dad’s ...

  Jay is Games — Authority: 558
  Platform: Download (Mac, Linux, Windows) — Prepare yourself for an interactive fiction that peels back the truth in layers as you become more and more entwined in this tale of superscience and space exploration. The narrative begins with an itsy-bitsy clue that not all will be as it seems, followed by your ...

  Emily Short's Interactive Fiction — Authority: 123
  Thanks to Liza Daly, I have a guest blog post up at Threepress about interactive storytelling — it’s not mostly stuff that will exactly be new to readers of this blog, but it’s aimed at writers or publishers who might want to use interactivity.

  Worth a look: Why Moral Choices in Video Games Are No Longer Fun . It’s mostly decrying black-and-white moral choices as found in Fable, BioShock, and Knights of the Old Republic; despite the title, it’s not an argument that moral choices have no place in games, only that they’re currently being done too poorly ...

• Links for an Epic Post

  
  Gerry Canavan — Authority: 441

• Touché, aaronius

  
  The Monk's Brew — Authority: 107
  Occasionally I surf around the IFDB looking for goodies. I really like the way it is set up, as it takes a number of cues from other community sites that encourage engagement and social interaction. Often I’ll find myself weaving my way through games, reviews, and lists before realizing how much time has passed, ...

• Gamasutra interview with Susan O’Connor

  
  Emily Short's Interactive Fiction — Authority: 123
  There’s an interesting interview over on Gamasutra with Susan O’Connor, who has written for a number of major games, including BioShock and Far Cry 2. There’s a wide range of stuff in there, including her personal background and some observations about the industry, but what struck me as especially notable for ...

• IFComp, I Hardly Knew Ye

  
  The Monk's Brew — Authority: 107
  And, there we go. Another IFComp come and gone, with the winners announced this past week. It sounds like the 15th Annual was on par with most, although there appeared to be significantly fewer games overall than in the past (24, compared with 35 last year, 43 in 2006, and 36 in 2005). An ominous sign? Not the way I ...

• Could I have Glulx with my change?

  
  The Textfyre Times — Authority: 104
  Textfyre is still in the process of business development. This means that the business plan is fluid. We have to adapt to new ideas, new market pressures, and of course, we need to generate revenue, even if it’s small. Secret Letter’s sales have been slow and that’s probably because we need to get it into the ...

  Emily Short's Interactive Fiction — Authority: 123
  JIG is running a competition for short IF games with the theme of “escape” , designed for play and judging on their website. This is a cool opportunity to showcase IF for an audience of casual gamers (some of whom are already IF fans but don’t follow the community regularly). And there are some nice prizes for ...
