Please review my Text Adventure Authoring System XVAN

I’m not sure how you’re imagining the game design should be specified, so possibly this will not be helpful. But for what it’s worth, my Inform game Bronze ( inform7.com/learn/eg/bronze/index.html ) has a license that permits derivative works. The site I just linked includes source code, but also a full map of the game’s rooms, a making-of discussion with a puzzle chart, and a walkthrough to the various possible endings. It is generally considered a full-sized but not monstrously large game, and demonstrates a range of classic IF functionality.
