Next Technological Steps?

Quick addition: Matt W, here’s a bit of code to fix the scope issue (from here):

The most recent actor is an object that varies.
After reading a command (this is the reset distant actor before multiple-command rule):
    now the most recent actor is nothing. [This ensures we don't leave the actor in scope for multiple command-entries, only when multiple commands are entered on the same line.]
First persuasion (this is the reset most recent actor rule):
    now the most recent actor is the person asked.
After deciding the scope of the player while parsing for persuasion (this is the multiple commands to a distant actor rule):
    if the most recent actor is not nothing:
        place the most recent actor in scope, but not its contents.

Story of my life.

Where’s the +1 buttons on this thing?

I think from a story-telling perspective, we’re probably okay for awhile. I think there’s still a lot of work on the UI side of things, especially where the web is concerned. But that would entail getting web designers more involved in IF, something with which I think we’ve struggled.

I think people should just focus on writing good stories and worry less about the technology though.
