A simple Twine conversion of an evocative scene. The text I used is a modern translation, by one Brian Stone, of a poem dating from about 1400. There's plenty more information available under 'about the authors' for those curious! Fun bonus for GT: my official node map!
2017 Update: because Dropbox has refused to host web pages (which Twine games are), I've had to replace the link with a download. Oh well.
e.e. cummings turned twine poet; turning a metaphor into an actuality ("a second metaphor-artifice") through iterative linebreaks
"Interaction Poem III is representative of a work where linguistic understanding is eschewed for purely conceptual reasoning / interaction."
My (intellectual-chic) thesis (from spiced together twitter posts) on the work: "Interaction Poems: attempts to create a 'new grammar' for internet language, which, through interfaces such as twine, can exist iteratively.
Interaction Poem I is a new construction of the quotation mark; the artifice of iteration (time) creates new meanings."
messing about in twine.
This year I decided to enter Ectocomp, a yearly Halloween competition hosted by someone in the IF community (yes, I know this overlaps with the IF Comp, I dunno either). You can read more about it here. I downloaded Twine and everything just for it too.
You are a Blob actually wasn't my first game idea (a choice-based adaption of "Jacked Up Jack-o-Lantern" from the Regular Show Trilogy of Terror 3), but an eight-year-old was getting cold feet about entering, so I vowed to make a game so crappy it would make everyone else's game shine like gold! Which turned out to be no small feat, because everyone and their mother entered a game (or two) this year, for a grand total of 24 entries. But I think I gave it a good run.
If you like this game, please consider downloading (and judging!) the whole set. You can play most of these games through an interpreter like Gargoyle.
I noticed Klik of the Month had snuck up on me yet again, so I opened Twine and quickly improvised and free-associated this game out of nothing.
17 passages. Enjoy!
[Bit late for the event BUT]
FANTASY / REALITY IS HERE
Play the game because I'm not going to tell you anything about playing it here.
This was originally inspired by some tweets by winter k., and just went from there. Please enjoy it, as much as I did making it!
I edited the demo to make it into a full version, so making the release of the full version of my novel.
This game contains 2 more macros used than in the demo version.
I know this game is 70% short, i couldn't do it longer. Here's the node map: https://www.dropbox.com/s/c3ruyudk3ok93yu/CK-TWOTTnodemap.png
The story goes: Keen gets his brother Jeem while the really evil characters named the Tongies goes to brainwash Jeem into a monster.
Are people uh submitting games to this Molyjam thing, I made a game.
I based it on a tweet by MYSELF because, why not base a game on an idea I had, wouldn't that be normal

It is a text adventure. I made it in Twine. It's about looting graves
Can *you* find the lost treasure of Wacław Sierpiński?
