Writing Fantasy

So lately I’ve been working on things inspired by classing gamebooks like Fighting Fantasy and Choose Your Own Adventure, and I’ve been writing a story in that style using twine. Which is FUN. But I couldn’t easily take that story and format it in a way that would be printable like a gamebook.

So I made a twine story format for it!

If you point twine here you can use it if you like.

You can see the guide for it here,

or if you’re a $5+ patron you can see a more robust demonstration since I’ve updated my WIP project The Necromancer’s Tower with a Writing Fantasy version.

Update: I’ve released Assault on the Frozen Fortress, a short festive/horrific gamebook using Writing Fantasy.

This was a fun (and sometimes frustrating, I don’t use javascript much!) project, and probably won’t help much with my plans to procedurally generate adventure gamebook stories… but I learned a bunch and hey maybe it’s useful to people 🙂

(also hey I know I’ve not posted about it yet but I released my dice for iOS this week! It has a new trailer and everything! I’d like to give promo codes to all patrons who helped support it, but apple won’t let me generate enough for everyone. I’ll look into what I can do about that, but in the meantime if you’re a patron you get all versions on itch.io still of course <3)
