Procedural role-playing adventure book thing notes
Posted: August 20, 2021 Filed under: Patreon Leave a comment »So that is an awkward af title and the reason is if I was to say “fighting fantasy” or “choose your own adventure” I’d be infringing trademarks, and just “interactive fiction” doesn’t really get the point across, I think?
I dunno I’ll come up with better ways to describe this project further on, but for now picture a generator that basically just makes a book in the style of fighting fantasy. Interactive fiction rogue like maybe? I dunno.
Anyway as you can see from the notes above I’m mostly focusing on the mechanical stuff for now, making sure battles and characters work alright, since the actual “if you choose X, turn to 123” stuff is pretty basic.
I’m also working on a demo story in twine (that will probably be this month’s build?) which will test that the games the generator could make are mechanically sound.
I was planning to put this project off until I had finished making a more polished version of Waitress for Zombies (which I want to release as a patron-only game, soon hopefully) and also releasing the iOS version of my dice roller, but I kept getting excited about this idea so I’ve been putting a lot of time into it. (Well this and also learning piano).
anyway, hope you’re well, love you! <3
