This year’s Interactive Fiction Competition entries are live. I’ll be very interested to see the effect Inform7 has had on the competition. Emily Short is blogging reviews as she plays1 (judges may discuss entries but should make it easy for people to avoid seeing things they don’t want to).

Awwwww… anybody know how I can skip sleep for a couple of weeks, without going batshit insane? I’d really like to get back into IF, if only I had the time (among my many half-started projects is a game, which now needs porting to Inform7…).

Hat tip to waxy.org for both the IFComp and emshort pointers.

Notes:

  1. And she has a new WordPress-based website (well, new to me — I’ve been out of touch a long time) which looks really rather nice. [↪]
