James Jolley’s Interactive Fiction Blog

April 30, 2008

Are IF bloggers on a different planet?

It would seem so, as a really new and potentially great site has been launched. Christopher Armstrong’s Planet interactive fiction has been devised to “keep” us all hopefully on one planet. The idea is that our blog postings are shown on one page. No more messing with bookmarking everyone’s blog, all new postings to blogs are there an hour after being written. This is possibly one of the biggest things to happen to the IF community in quite some time, and I am sure it will generate a lot of discussion as well.

Happy Birthday to Inform 7

Who would have believed that 2 years ago this very day, Inform 7 was released? I was away when the actual announcement was made regarding the new system but I have never looked back since downloading one of the early builds in July of that year. It is a remarkable effort of community input and Doctors Nelson and Short really are luminaries in our community and want applauding for there efforts.
