we did it folks
Congratulations to everyone who tried to submit something for Spring Thing, whether the plan came together or not. I look forward to seeing what everyone created
It’s 3 PM where I am, and this is the Spring I’m having at the moment:
Good luck and have fun, everyone!
Looks charming - where is it exactly?
I’m on a mountain trip with friends, in southern Poland (the exact mountain we were climbing is called Pilsko).
Just to be clear, I’m really enjoying it, snow and all!
I’ll swap your crisp, white snow for a bucketful of persistent British drizzle if you like?
Is neither an option?
It hasn’t really rained here in central Texas since October (drought all the time here now), and we’ll happily take some of your British drizzle. We don’t have any wildflowers this year.
I’m so sorry to hear that. If I could send you our drizzle, I certainly would! (Sounds like a wonderful entrepreneurial opportunity for one more enterprising than I).
Congrats people!
I suppose I should tell y’all that I did finish my game in time. Holy CRAP, I didn’t think it would happen!!! But it got done by some miracle. As I cannot makes games the ways I used to, I wasn’t sure. But it did, thank goodness.
I’m not gonna spoil what it became from the idea I put in the earlier thread, but this is probably gonna be a very . . . weird public reception. I say that to myself every time but ESPECIALLY for this one, like 20x more so. Take that how you will.
All I will say are the basic details:
Title: A Single Ouroboros Scale
Synopsis: Algie was a Twine developer. Now he’s gone, but one of his online remnants is in your hands.
(One last game, for now or forever. Time will decide which one.)Author’s Note: “A desperate game. There’s a more detailed Author’s Note along with Content Warnings in the game proper. I hope this does something good.”
– Bez (he/they)
A lot of Twine games have a habit of showing you just one option, which then moves the story on. Having to move the mouse and click on it is a bit annoying. Is there some way to make pressing a key (like spacebar) work in these circumstances?
It’s possible, but I don’t think it’s built into Twine out of the box. I know Sugarcube has macros that can enable keyboard input, but the author has to plan for it.
The games are up – all 47 of them!
47 games! Truly an embarrassment of riches this year
I did this in my game with the cont keypress macro. I’ll DM you an example because I can’t figure out how to post code here and it uses Sugarcube’s carrots, which this forum deletes!
edit: it’s also deleting them from my DM, lol. could someone remind me how to format code snippets?
