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.

Sorry, went radio silent there. I got sucked into working on this writing tool passion project.

I got here too late, but if you’re willing, know anyone else into IF who’s still local? This is my sad attempt at trying to make friends in the same timezone haha. Where you moving to? Or is that prying?
