Oh, disappointing.

Yeah, that's what I was hoping for. Tsk.
- aloe_falsa 3y agoA good starting point for that would be http://www-cs-students.stanford.edu/~amitp/gameprog.html#adv http://www-cs-students.stanford.edu/~amitp/gameprog.html#adv - or maybe, if you're interested in the prose more than the scaffolding, https://www.ifarchive.org/if-archive/books/IFTheoryBook.pdf https://www.ifarchive.org/if-archive/books/IFTheoryBook.pdf There's also the recently published "50 Years of Text Games" (https://if50.textories.com/ https://if50.textories.com/)
- a1o 3y agoThat last book looks interesting but I would love if it was available on Amazon, or somewhere more international, usually other places don't deliver correctly on my country. :/
- jwuphysics 3y agoYou can read the [50 Years of Text Games](https://if50.substack.com/archive https://if50.substack.com/archive) newsletter that preceded the book. I highly recommend it!
- anthk 3y agoAlso, Slashem/Nethack and so on, but these are characters for the simulated dungeon content plus text based for everything else.
- dekervin 3y agoHello, I am making a text-based based game. Part text adventure, part something else and I am jumping at opportunity to build a community of "testers". Can I email you ?
