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.
Iām Dan, from Derbyshire, UK. I started playing text adventures as a kid in the eighties on my dadās trusty Amstrad PC1512. I dabbled in creating my own in Adventure Game Toolkit, but never got very far.
After a long break Iām dipping my toe back in the water and after a few experiments Iāve started to write my Hammer inspired folk horror in Inform 7. Looking forward to contributing to the forum!
Hi there, Iām 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 Iāve got a new idea bubbling under at the moment, but Iām pondering switching to writing in Inform 7 instead. Hence my joining this forum. Many questions are waiting to be askedā¦
