Looking forward to the Spring Thing interactive fiction festival which will be running very soon. Good luck to all the entrants! I'm looking forward to hopefully trying as many of the games as possible. Ditto for IFComp in the autumn - I've postponed my next entry to 2026. https://www.springthing.net/2025/ #SpringThing #interactiveFiction #IndieGames #Games #IFComp

When I entered my #interactivefiction game in the 2024 #SpringThing festival I had no idea that people would play it so much. The reviews so far have been very kind.

And check out this fan-art that a player sent me.

I've written a post about learning Inform 7, among other things. I share my messy code in hopes of encouraging non-programmers to try Inform 7 if it interests them.

My Inform 7 game, Repeat the Ending, received a Best in Show in this year’s Spring Thing. Wild! When I upload the post-festival release in a day or two, I’ll post a link.

Today is the last day to nominate ribbons for the Spring Thing Festival of Interactive Fiction.

There's still time to play/nominate some games!

I did a short Q&A with Amanda Walker about my I7 game "Repeat the Ending" over at intfic. Very happy/flattered that she asked. Link below. Interested in playing Spring Thing games or nominating them for ribbons? Follow the links in the reply.
