#12Amazing. Hyperlinks.
But with comment threads!
Re: Text adventure ported to social media
#13I’ve been wanting to write a Mastodon/Twitter twine compiler that would take an existing Twine story and compile it to a list of posts. https://github.com/captn3m0/ideas#twitter-adventure-maker The primary difficulty is in flattening the state, which twine supports (apple=true, key=false in this story) but if it’s not too many variables might work out.
I'm new to this, are there Twine stories somewhere that I can download? Do you know? Does Twine "play" them? Sorry, these questions are very rudimentary.
The Twine website links to a few, along with thousands at IFDB; https://ifdb.org/search?searchbar=system%3Atwine
And itch: https://itch.io/games/tag-twine
See the Twinery for more, including the spec: https://twinery.org/

Thanks, I had gone to Twine's site but didn't scroll down far enough. This is great, thanks!

#15A buddy of mine writes “Adventure Snack”, an interactive fiction blog. After each intro, the story begins using a static HTML/JS template that I adapted to use with the Inky story editor. Fun exercise!

Nice list. Your collaborative bookmarking favorite is on the Fediverse with Postmarks [0], and another alternative in the making (forgot name).

Thanks, never thought of looking into Fediverse for bookmarking but it makes sense in hindsight.
Will add these to the idea doc and try them out.

#18I'm loving the revival of text adventures, especially in the GenAI area (less so in social media, but, still). I used to play Zork a lot (lol in the 2000s though, on linux and it was the coolest thing). I've made a series of sci-fi gen-ai text adventure games, https://cosmictrip.space/gameannouncement where GPT is the game and DALL-E can visualize for you, inspired by other similar projects. (the game is a bit buggy…
Totally agree. I recently did a livestream/tutorial building a choose your adventure with llama 2 and React and had genAI for characters. A lot of fun! Hoping to add loot and fights in my next stream about it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPbM5Rs1_8Y&t=16s
