Summer Project: IF!

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 - [livejournal.com profile] active_apathy, [livejournal.com profile] alun_clewe, [livejournal.com profile] chanlemur, [livejournal.com profile] fadethecat, [livejournal.com profile] majoru, and [livejournal.com profile] zwol were on the old list, but any of that can change. If anyone would like to be added or removed, please comment!

OH FUCK YEAH

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...)

Ooh, can I help please? I've got a copy of Frotz and am very good at breaking things!

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! ;)
