  Emily Short's Interactive Fiction — Authority: 418
  The last day of my workshop in Passo Fundo. Day 4: Creating our own IF For this workshop, I wanted to show the participants how to build their own IF. This was decidedly not a course in coding, but rather an overview of the larger process at work. We started out by brainstorming a premise. It turned out that ...

  Emily Short's Interactive Fiction — Authority: 418
  Just wanted to draw attention to zarf’s post about PAX East : IF activity at PAX Boston! …will happen. Details when we have them. What? No, I really don’t know yet. What?

  Emily Short's Interactive Fiction — Authority: 418
  Continuing background on my IF workshop in Passo Fundo. Day 2: IF history. I had a whole nifty multimedia timeline thing created for this workshop… and then at the critical moment it wouldn’t open or work at all. So that was frustrating, but it’s the kind of thing that just happens sometimes, and you ...

  One of my tasks at the 13ª Jornada Nacional de Literatura was to give a workshop (three hours a day, four days) on interactive fiction, touching on history, how to play, some background on why the form is interesting in general, and then how to create one’s own. I was blessed with not one but several excellent ...

• [Help Wanted] Speak (Brazilian) Portuguese?

  
  Emily Short's Interactive Fiction — Authority: 418
  On Saturday I’m headed to Brazil to lead a week-long workshop on interactive fiction as a (very small) part of a literature conference in Passo Fundo. I gather most of the people I’ll be working with will know some English, and there will also be translators available. But it occurred to me that it might [...]

• Thrilling Tales, a Random Pulp Title Generator, and Time Goes On

  
  Webomator Blog — Authority: 103
  I’m now at forty illustrations for my first Thrilling Tales project – which puts me more or less halfway done. There are still three or four pictures that I’ll be revisting, but heck, I’ll take my milestones as I find ‘em. No matter how long the setup for a set of pictures takes, I still seem to average ...

• “Interactive fiction” from the publishing side

  
  Emily Short's Interactive Fiction — Authority: 418
  Recently I’ve run into a few references to “interactive fiction” where the term doesn’t mean any kind of game, but something more choose-your-own-adventure-like. In the 80s we had Infocom appropriating the word “fiction” in order to lend an impression of literary depth and respectability to its brand; now ...

• Raving Manor in Review – Dragging Interactive Fiction kicking and screaming to the iPhone + Promo Codes!

  
  TouchMyApps — Authority: 485
  Back in the days when the sky was bluer, the grass was greener, and PCs had text-only screens, a genre thrived which spawned what we know today as the Point-And-Click adventure. The name of that genre was Interactive Fiction and it was so named because it played more like a choose your own adventure book. At the time, ...

  Blogs of the Round Table is a group that writes on various game design issues, each month working from a new prompt provided by Corvus Elrod. This month the prompt is on a topic that’s come up several times for me, and that I’m thinking about again as I rework the ending of my WIP:How [...]

  What follows the break will be a discussion of which games I liked best overall this year, and a couple of other comments on the competition.

• IF Comp 2009: Grounded in Space

  
  Emily Short's Interactive Fiction — Authority: 418
  As has been my practice for the last few years, I’ve set my RSS feed to truncate entries so that I can post reviews without spoilerage. Within an entry, there is a short, spoilerless discussion (though the comp purists may want to avoid reading even that before playing for themselves); then spoiler space; then a ...
