ZarfhomeZarf's Assorted ProjectsDesign Sketch for an MMO Adventure Game- March 25, 2008 My last Uru post brought up the idea of a completely fan-run game for the Uru community. Here is my design sketch for how to build it. (Link is to my essay as posted on the Gameshelf Blog. It's also in my regular collection of Uru essays on this web site. But the Gameshelf is prettier and allows comments and stuff.)http://gameshelf.jmac.org/2008/03/design-sketch-for-an-mmo-adven.html Praser 12- March 23, 2008 New puzzle: Praser 12. This is not IF; it's not interactive at all, just a web page containing a puzzle. Read the document, you can solve the puzzle. ("Praser" is a label I've applied to a series of puzzles I've been creating since I was a kid. There's no connecting story or theme. Praser 5 is the only other one that's online; the rest weren't that great. 12 benefits from my experience playing the MIT Mystery Hunt, so expect that sort of thing if you're familiar with it.)http://www.eblong.com/zarf/praser-12.html Zarf's iPhone Note Recorder- March 11, 2008 The iPhone SDK was announced last week, and I followed through on my self-promise and bought an iPhone. Behold my first iPhone application: Zarf's iPhone Note Recorder. To be sure, I didn't make this with the SDK. (Apple won't start approving third-party apps until June.) It's a web toy. It's not even a web application; it's just a Javascript widget. You type in some text, and the widget turns it into a link. Bookmark the link, sync it to your iPhone (or iPod Touch), and you have your text on.http://www.eblong.com/zarf/iphone-noter.html The Fame Spreads- March 5, 2008 Gamasutra offered to reprint my Uru: Beyond Cancellation essay as an opinion piece.
