Looking for Singaporean IF community

Hi all,

First post here. I’m looking for a thread or forum for Singaporean IF writers, if one exists.

I’m a native English speaker based in Malaysia, and figured the next closest English-speaking IF community is right next door.

Thanks!

Welcome! :waving_hand:

I’m happy to see we’re one of the top listings on a search!

  1. The Interactive Fiction Community Forum: This is the central hub for text-adventure writers globally (spanning ChoiceScript, Twine, and Inform 7). Local creators occasionally post project announcements there, such as the localized Singaporean IF game ToBeYou.sg. [1, 2]
  2. Choice of Games Forum: The makers of popular text-based RPGs have a massive, active community. Singapore-based authors and hobbyists regularly use this forum to brainstorm, run beta tests, and discuss localized writing. [1, 2, 3]

I’d also suggest checking out r/interactivefiction - though there is discussion there, it gets a lot of just drive-by game advertisements. https://www.reddit.com/r/interactivefiction/

Many people have tried to establish interactive fiction Discord channels at different times, though I’m unsure how well-trafficked they are unless they are niche-dedicated to a specific type of IF.

Since you do speak English, I hope you’ll find a lot of information and support here!

Thank you!

Yeah, IF came up quite often in my search. I did stumble on ToBeYou a lot actually.

I’ll try the choice of games forum too. Heck I’d settle for finding a few individuals to talk to on here :slight_smile:

I mean, me, but you got very unlucky, lol. After 4 years here, I leave this week. Otherwise, there aren’t any that I know of that actually still frequent the forum.

I don’t know how specific this is to IF, but this could be an option potentially if you’re just needing support:

Local Writers’ Networks: To connect with fellow writers based in Singapore, the Singapore Writer’s Network (SWN) - Meetup offers a supportive local community that holds writing workshops and genre-specific meetups. [1]

You’re leaving this forum, or leaving Singapore? :sweat_smile:

The latter. I plan to remain in this forum for at the very minimum a few more years, lol.
