Step by step, I'm coding towards 're-imagining' Infocom text adventures with the power of AI. These beloved classics can be transformed into richer, more immersive experiences by enhancing their narrative depth and detail. The example below demonstrates how AI can add vivid descriptions and emotional nuance to bring these stories to life in a whole new way.

War Of Crowns- Prologue

War Of Crowns Step into the shadowy world of War Of Crowns, a gripping interactive fiction that blends the intrigue of political drama, the brutality of medieval warfare, and the enduring legacy of a fractured past. You are the illegitimate child of King Aldric the ruler of one of the seven kingdoms Ceryndor, marked by your half elven heritage and shunned by society. Born under a cloud of prejudice and tragedy, you are feared as the “Black Wolf” – an omen of misfortune and a harbinger of chaos.

Your 21st birthday brings no celebration, only a revelation that will send you spiraling into a dark web of murder, betrayal, and destiny. When the son of a wealthy trader is found dead, the fragile peace in your land begins to crumble. The investigation leads you to uncover secrets that could shake the foundations of the seven kingdoms. Will you embrace the tyranny they accuse you of, or will you rise above the scars of your past and forge your own path?

Elena/Erik Rutherford

Elena/Erik is earnest, loyal, and idealistic. As a relatively new knight, she takes her duties seriously, striving to live up to the expectations of her house and her mentor, Knight Garrick. Beneath her brave exterior, Elena has moments of self-doubt, questioning whether she is ready for the challenges ahead. Her youthful spirit often clashes with the grim realities of her missions, but she finds solace in camaraderie and her unwavering sense of justice.

Rika

Rika is introspective, observant, and fiercely resilient. Though her voice was stolen long ago, she communicates with an eloquence that transcends words—through hand signs, expressions, and gestures. Her past has hardened her, but deep down, she carries a quiet hope for freedom and belonging. She is slow to trust but fiercely loyal once someone earns her faith.

I Made a Game!

Hi! I made a short text adventure for the holidays! You play as a witch, hike down the mountain to visit your hometown. But be warned; the mountainside isn't so peaceful this time of year, especially not at night...

You can play it for free here! Check it out!

Weekly Update!

Sorry for the late update! Kind of was a bit out of it, but anyways, here we go!

Unfortunately, we didn't quite meet our goal of 9K words, and I apologize for that. I even pulled an all-nighter, but it seems it just wasn't enough (that's what she said 😔 ). The most I managed was 8.2K words, which is pretty good, but not quite as great as I'd hoped. However, I promise you all that I'll double down and give it my all next week! :D

On top of that, my university is starting again, but no worries, folks! I have a schedule in place that will ensure I write twice as much as I do now!

So, here's the official word count update: 4K words were written in the short story, and 4K words in the main book, bringing the main book's total to 125,214 words and the short book to 14,023 words.

In other news, I've also commissioned character art for a cute 19-year-old character who you'll be training with in my upcoming femboy dating simulator book (available on Patreon). I'll be sharing all the character art once we hit 20K words or once the demo for the second book is created, haha!

That's about it for now. See you all next week, and I hope you have amazing days until then!

30 Hilarious Times One Wrong Text Wrecked A Group Chat’s Peace 

While being part of group chats, he also had some of them blow up due to people getting into fights and making it awkward for everyone. “That's partly what inspired the question I posed. I think people do have a tendency to behave a little more extremely in virtual settings, which probably contributes to the breakup of certain chats.”

When it comes to sharing information in group chats, Miles believes that the boundaries of what people talk about in them should be determined by their relationship. “You can probably feel safe saying just about anything in a chat with friends you've had for years, because you know that any misunderstandings can be worked through,” he says.

But if there’s just a group of practically strangers from the internet, there’s a potential to cross the line, Miles says. “I think it's nice to have places where you can say something in confidence that you wouldn't necessarily say in public, but there should be mutual trust for that to happen—just like in any good friendship.”Readmore

Btw it's VERY EASY to make text based games. If you wanna start just do it!

Free websites to make games with

\/ \/

Textadventures has a very straightforward system that can do a lot. It's a very old website but it's functional and has a forum with just about every question answered you can have! Once you grasp the basics you can use the documentation to do even more! And it let's you use Html to get even fancier!

Inklewriter can't do as much but it has a thorough tutorial, a more modern look, and is very very easy to understand. It also (imo) is the best looking one. If you want to upgrade from it Ink is made by the same people and is a coding language specifically for narrative games. You can get as fancy or simple with it as you want.

Twine is the hardest to understand but the most powerful one. You can do as much or as little coding as you want. the layout lets you easily see where each option leads and connects to each other.

Ich weiß nicht, ob diese Entscheidung richtig war. Ich wache eher verwirrt und verloren am Strand auf, aber ich lebe noch. Nicht jede meiner Entscheidungen hat dazu geführt, dass ich sie überlebt habe und ich bin nicht alleine. Aber ob das gut ist? Ich glaube, ich bin meinem Ziel nicht näher gekommen, aber ich bin schon oft gestorben. Ich spiele The Innsmouth Case.
