Indoors
Two men sit in this room, spinning non-linear yarns about the creation of interactive fiction. One sits at a small table. Another stands by a shelf along the wall, which is filled with many grey, rectangular objects that you can't quite make out from here.
You can see a small door, a small table, a shelf,
Dave and Steve here.

Andrew Plotkin (
Website,
Twitter), a much renowned author of
interactive fiction (works include
Spider and Web,
The Dreamhold), is quitting his day job, and
going to try and create text adventures full time, starting with
Hadean Lands: An Interactive Alchemical Interplanetary Thriller (teaser scene), for iOS devices. He's using
Kickstarter to help fund it, and
has already raised over $11,000, $3000 over his goal, in less than a day's time. (via

Blueful. Web-dispersed storytelling reminiscent of the some of the stuff in
We Tell Stories to promote the free interactive fiction game
Blue Lacuna from
Aaron A. Reed, the creator of the excellent interactive fiction title
Whom the Telling Changed. Caveat: the ending is only available (afaik) on a (free) postcard so if you don't feel comfortable giving up a mailing address, you won't see the ending.

Remember Zork, Planetfall, and the other creations of late game company Infocom? Well, "interactive fiction," as the format is called, is still alive and well. Every year the IF community -- which is known for releasing work of quality far surpassing even Infocom's masterpieces -- holds a competition for short works, and
this year's contestants have been released! Read this post's comments for more info...
