Ooh, inklewriter!

Monday, 20 August 2012

Not sure how I've managed not to come across this site before, but I've recently discovered inklewriter, a tool for creating interactive fiction. It's a thing of beauty. Regular readers will know I've dabbled with interactive fiction/text-based adventure stories before but this site looks like the bee's knees.

There's currently a competition running too: deadline September 15th, generous cash prizes and the chance to be published in an iPhone/iPad anthology. Irresistible. I officially have my thinking cap on ...


My thanks to Sue Howe and Lee Williams for alerting me to the site.

    This looks great! It reminds me of those Choose our Own Adventure books I read as a kid. Thanks for sharing, Simon.

    Oooh yes, chose your own adventure books were fantastic. I'm surprised that there's not more interactive fiction on the web. It's the perfect venue for it.

    Thanks for the link, Simon.
