I used Inform7 to create Kellandria, the story of a castle that has suffered a catastrophe. The only way to win the game is to explore the entire castle and discover the secrets of its past. The end may take a little while to reach, but it’s pretty impossible to miss once you find it. Here’s a hint, in this game the points do matter.
One of the features of creating a playable game is the inclusion of cover art. In the playfic version, though, I couldn’t include it, but here it is anyway:
In case you couldn’t tell, I made it myself by manipulating a picture I had of a castle.
I hope you enjoy it if you do play it! Let me know if there are any problems or questions, and I’ll fix them or answer them depending.
I was just skimming the blog and immediately stopped at your post because of the fact that you included some really interesting cover art, something I hadn’t even thought of for my project, so kudos for that.
Your project itself is quite a bit of fun and ran really smoothly for me, with some really interesting options and twists. I got stuck briefly at a few points, before quickly solving my confusion due to the pretty clear layout and hints you included. Also, I won’t spoil it for anyone else, but, as you said, the ending takes a bit of time to reach, but, if one pays attention, is eventually reachable. Again, it was quite a bit of fun and I’m really impressed with your grasp of Inform7, which proved far too confusing for me, personally. Well done!
