From Nether Wallop, a text adventure I've been writing. It reads like a Kindle or an Apple Book. More soon. #interactivefiction #textadventure #indiegame #gamedev #amwriting #screenplay

Two hours past midnight. A flicker on the decoy node. Something is reading it.

Dax built it. Dax knows the node. You know how to watch a flank.

Go.

I finally wrote a proper TALYXR_ development update. (Not my strongest suit.)

A lot of it already works. Some of it still behaves badly. 🤷 After 250+ iterations, rebuilding the engine made more sense than adding another patch.

Morgan and Ravindra have found a hidden passage inside the Krystor Temple. Should Morgan connect to the ancient system, send in a drone, or proceed with passive scans? You decide. Play the free adventure. Link in comments. #MorganSelwood #InteractiveFiction #SpaceOpera

Read the room literally to solve a noir murder.

- Read clues in text
- Photograph evidence
- Interrogate suspects

It's called Detective Turner: If Looks Could Kill. Could you crack the case?

Eleven years in Stratum internal audit. Then she went completely dark.

There are two explanations for that.

One of them is worth trusting.

Red smear on the third latch. Maintained in the last forty-eight hours.

EMBER's intelligence has been right this far.

Trust it.

📬 Looking into the Design book revealed the thick #ZXSpectrum Guide book.

Now, as much as I like me some text adventuring, I actually much prefer reading from physical books than on screens.

Two paperback books by Shaun McClure arranged next to each other on a table. “How to Design Adventure Games” is placed flat while “A Guide to ZX Spectrum Adventure Games 1982 - 1985” is stood up right so we can see the thickness.Both paperback books are now stood on their side, spine facing up, so we can see the difference in thickness. “How to Design Adventure Games” is much slimmer than the chonk of “A Guide to ZX Spectrum Adventure Games 1982 - 1985”. Rather curiously, the design book is “By Shaun McClure” rather than just the author name. It’s inconsistent with the guide book, and looks odd.

📬 Today’s video game book spotlight goes to a pair of adventure game tomes by Shaun McClure.

I learned of them via a mention of one in an episode of The @retroadventurers.bsky.social podcast

Maximilien is live and being judged at IFComp 2026 — the full story, playable right now: 12 endings, Boston 1926, and a sanity system that never touches the words, only how you see them.

She tells you the right corridor, the sensor gap, the forty-eight hours Stratum never noticed.

The least you can do is give her a reason to keep going.
