Hi! Just introducing myself ... My name is David Fisher, and I usually hang around the rec.arts.int-fiction newsgroup, which is to do with creating Interactive Fiction games. I'm not actually blind, but I would like to find out if you guys had any suggestions about writing games. The most obvious thing I can think of is not to include ASCII graphics, like maps and things like that. Any others?
I was also wondering what your favourite type of Interactive Fiction was. I had a look at the first issue of Audyssey, and Michael Feir mentioned a preference for games that can be replayed ... this can be a bit hard with Interactive Fiction, since once you know how to solve a puzzle, the challenge disappears. The plot is also the same every time, unless the game generates a different story every time you play - which would be very cool, but a huge amount of work to write. It may be a while before I get a game written, but I just thought I'd ask for your point of view on these things. >From David Fisher _______________________________________________ Gamers mailing list ..
