Summer Project: IF!

[packbat]

Okay, so you know how your hobbies expand to fill your free time? It has occurred to me that this is something that needs forestalling if I am to survive the coming fall semester. Thus, I have an idea: what if I took up a major, but short-term, project - one where I can easily give myself permisssion to axe when the semester starts?

Thus, my plan: I'm going to pull open Inform 7 again.

The plot is relatively simple - it's yet another amnesia story - but I hope to make up for the unoriginality in execution. I'm planning to have friends-locked posts for blogging about the dev work and blegging for beta-testing - active_apathy, alun_clewe, chanlemur, fadethecat, majoru, and zwol were on the old list, but any of that can change. If anyone would like to be added or removed, please comment!

Added! I'll try to get up a post tonight my-time (~1600 GMT) with some notes in it.

H'ray! Good luck with this!

Thankee! That'll certainly help - especially if I want to enter IFComp 2008 (http://www.ifcomp.org/)! (Don't think I will unless I've got a running version before September...)

Man, that be fantastic - you're in! Just remember to hit "SCRIPT (http://frotz.homeunix.org/frotz/docs/HOW_TO_PLAY)" for me when you've got it well and broken! ;)
