Side Projects

Yes, I have decided to start some side projects along the way towards completing Seasons.

The first one, thus far named Brickhouse is a modern-day/surreal/horror story set in corporate environs. It is not related to my previous effort, Building. I’m writing it in ALAN 3. It will be a game of medium length.

The next one is a dreamy/romantic/slice-of-life story called New Cat. I’m writing this one in Inform 7. It will be a medium-short game.

Why am I doing this? Am I glutton for punishment? Have I no life at all? Leaving those questions as merely hypothetical ones, I did want to learn other IF programming languages to see how well they stacked up to Inform 6. I also have the feeling that Inform 7 is probably ready for prime time.

So here goes nothing. I’ll be keeping myself on track here as usual.
