Text adventure ported to social media
- apsdsm 3y agoAmazing. Hyperlinks.
- layer8 3y agoBut with comment threads!
- cryptoz 3y agoI'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 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 if you refresh, and signups limited to gmail as I had to combat some LLM-abuse spam (also why there is no free-form text box right now, as there SHOULD BE))
- soneca 3y agoI played with a version where the AI creates the text and the options, but trying to add a new mechanic (you have to select, in the text, two words that unlock each option). https://www.theabysstalksback.com/ https://www.theabysstalksback.com/
- jawerty 3y agoTotally 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 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPbM5Rs1_8Y&t=16s
- herval 3y agoThat’s art, bravo
- captn3m0 3y agoI’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 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.
- stavros 3y agoI'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.
- captn3m0 3y agoThe Twine website links to a few, along with thousands at IFDB; https://ifdb.org/search?searchbar=system%3Atwine https://ifdb.org/search?searchbar=system%3Atwine And itch: https://itch.io/games/tag-twine https://itch.io/games/tag-twine See the Twinery for more, including the spec: https://twinery.org/ https://twinery.org/
- stavros 3y agoThanks, I had gone to Twine's site but didn't scroll down far enough. This is great, thanks!
- rapnie 3y agoNice list. Your collaborative bookmarking favorite is on the Fediverse with Postmarks [0], and another alternative in the making (forgot name).

- captn3m0 3y agoThanks, 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.
- edent 3y agoInterestingly, when I did something similar on Twitter a few years ago, I received a very polite email from the people who owned the trademark to "Choose Your Own Adventure" requesting that I not use that specific phrase. As far as I could tell, they didn't actually have the ™ for computer games at the time. But I can understand how they didn't want to become a genetic brand like Kleenex or Hoover.

- hyperthesis 3y agoDepending on jurisdiction, technically, a trade mark ™ is established by use, for the tort of passing off. A registered trademark uses the encircled R symbol: ® You may be thinking of copyright, which at one time did not explicitly include computer programs as protected works, depending on jurisdiction.
- alanjay 3y agoAIUI, the book "20 Goto 10" also avoids referring to itself as CYOA, despite its similarities for the same legal reason.

- mvellandi 3y agoA 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! https://adventuresnack.substack.com/ https://adventuresnack.substack.com/ https://github.com/mvellandi/winky https://github.com/mvellandi/winky https://www.inklestudios.com/ink/ https://www.inklestudios.com/ink/
