French Comp 2022

Competitions
1

Hello ! This is your annual post about the French interactive fiction competition, which doubles up as a yearly status update for most of you :smiley:

For our 15th edition, we have an amazing 10 entries (our record!), showing the strength of the French IF scene right now! And also, its diversity: in terms of engines, we have Twine, Ink, Inform 6, Dialog, custom engines, but also our homegrown stars Moiki (more intuitive than Twine!) and Donjon (more advanced natural French language than Inform 7!) !

Here is the page of the comp on itch.io

We always welcome francophiles to play the games to the best of their abilities :slight_smile: Our voting form has an explanation in English too! You can vote on as few games or criteria as you want: choose “Ne se prononce pas” (“no answer”) on the voting form. The voting form is here.

Let me know if you have any questions! :slight_smile:
