It's a shame you can't self-host the editor. My main use-case for doing this was to occupy me when I was without internet.

The current release version was uploaded to archive dot org a few months back (for self hosting):

Any recommendations for games made with this engine?

I can recommend ours: https://okfeather.itch.io/feathery-christmas It's a ~1/2 hour playthrough, with music and graphics, and the source is on github: https://github.com/okfeather/feathery_christmas

Thanks!

I'm thinking of doing this with my kids for programming exploration + imagination development. Anyone has ideas how to quickly generate pictures/graphics, such as, draw them by hand and make them super small PNGs? It seems that drawing them by an image editor would be super tedious.

The otherwise excellent tutorial doesnt mention it:

So I am thinking using something like https://www.pixilart.com/draw

To take it further this is a great use for Text 2 IMG AI models

https://vision-explorer.allenai.org/text_to_image_generation

and then something like this at the end: https://pixel-me.tokyo/en/

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Would be great if there were files available for the Z-machine that played out the original Edward Packard CYOA series, like Through The Black Hole, e.g.

They're not available for sale, but you can find them all as clickable epubs. (Any device that can run a Z-machine can run an epub reader just as easily.)

I suppose an epub would be pretty easy to convert (on a modern machine) into something like ZIL for ZILF. Good thinking.
