Stopped by Bletchley Park earlier this year with @jon.inkle.co. Took a few snaps of the old machines. I love how the mechanisms work, but even after building TR-49 around Pemberton’s circuit diagrams, nothing quite lines up, even though the logic is mathematically sound and matches the Godot code.

I second this recommendation. TR-49 is unique, brilliant, and deserves to be on your wishlist. I’m so extraordinarily proud to be a part of it.
(Bonus inclusion that doesn’t really count because all I’ve contributed to this game is recording a few lines of dialogue, BUT, people should wishlist it)

TR-49

It’s an Inkle narrative game so it’s going to be good.

Wishlist!

Here's the Bletchley Park connection, in full:
I don't actually *know* that my late great-uncle worked at Bletchley. But the available evidence suggests he did. Here's what I know.

I inherited a few things when he died - not in his will, but just collected from his attic. One of these is significant, and linked.
We don't know. What we do know is the wiring diagram works. We built it, virtually, in @godotengine.org. We fed it scans of the books we found.

And the books are very, very strange. The "game" that resulted is also strange.

We're hoping people can make sense of it for us.

I don't think people understand how much Heaven's Vault is THE game for me. Inkle has produced only bangers for me and you must believe at reading "narrative deduction meets audio drama" from my faves, the squeal I emitted broke glass.

The game’s use of the source books is limited to fragments because we believe they are safer, but this is an untested theory
A few people played the TR-49 demo at #AdventureX.

If anyone suffers any ill-effects, please let us know.

With a narrative design course starting today, our #gamedev #tool_suggestion could be none other than @inkle.co's amazing *ink* narrative scripting language.
