Volity Werewolf - June 26, 2006

Volity Werewolf is on-line and playable. You need to download the Gamut client application, which is why this is a link to the whole Volity web site. I am pretty psyched about this. Volity works. People can play games.

A Handy Kit - June 1, 2006

I've finished my first Inform 7 sample: A Handy Kit. It's not a game; it's a reimplementation of the toolcase from Spider And Web. (And therefore contains spoilers for the early part of that game.) I wanted to discover how comfortable Inform 7 is for complicated gadgets. Answer: pretty comfortable; I was able to do everything I wanted to do. I didn't have to compromise or uglify my code to work around weaknesses in the language. However, there are still compiler bugs which I did have to work.
