Introducing Ourselves

Welcome Wojtek!

Very good timing to join the forum. This place will be buzzing with conversation and discussion about the new batch of Spring Thing games for weeks to come. A great sample of the breadth and depth of IF today.

Spring Thing Festival of Interactive Fiction

Play some games, maybe jot down some impressions or give a pesonalized ribbon to the games you like.

Anyway, glad to have you,

Hello!

I’m Dan, from Derbyshire, UK. I started playing text adventures as a kid in the eighties on my dad’s trusty Amstrad PC1512. I dabbled in creating my own in Adventure Game Toolkit, but never got very far.

After a long break I’m dipping my toe back in the water and after a few experiments I’ve started to write my Hammer inspired folk horror in Inform 7. Looking forward to contributing to the forum!

Hi there, I’m Alan from Scotland. I got into adventures (sorry, IF) in about 1983 with The Hobbit on ZX Spectrum and pretty soon got hooked on creating my own games, writing in BASIC. I then got a Sinclair QL and continued writing games, some of which are still around on the public domain. My last was in about 1990.
Then just recently I decided to get into it again and wrote a completely new one using my old BASIC framework in the QL dialect. For a current potential audience of about 3. I enjoyed the process and I’ve got a new idea bubbling under at the moment, but I’m pondering switching to writing in Inform 7 instead. Hence my joining this forum. Many questions are waiting to be asked…

Cheers,
Alan

Your work isn’t catalogated in the IFdb, but are catalogated on CASA:

From the blurbs on CASA, seems that you have an excellent sense of humour :smiley: Welcome again !!
