After much playing around with it, I finally got the built-in interpreter to work how I wanted it to! Now when I Release my demo for the next person, you can play without having to download a program or visit a separate website! Anyone interested in trying my horror game?

I've been working on beefing up player command options and early game content for a more robust experience. I'm feeling really good about what I've got!

Today I locked the player in the cottage and made sure they can't get back out again.

For the past week, every time I fixed one issue with combat, and then the flashlight system, another issue cropped up in its place. I am SO HAPPY to report that after extensive debugging, I've pinpointed all the problems and the game is playing perfectly!

My combat system is finally complete and functioning exactly as I want it to! Wandering Spirit is my first hostile character, who begins passive, and she will follow you from room to room after becoming hostile and attack you. I'm so proud 🥹

This simple bit of gameplay right here led to me going down a rabbithole of discovery that the player DOESN'T EXIST. Somehow the player doesn't exist. I don't know how I did that, but I need to figure out how to fix it 😅

I have so much I can work on with my game to improve the depth of gameplay options available to the player. I'm already getting started by fixing a silly lightswitch rule that also seems to apply to the flashlight.

Would a few people be interested in demoing my interactive fiction game? I have no idea how long it will take to play, but I've got about 120 turns worth of content. (It's a horror game btw)

I want to get feedback to see what features I need, what's broken, etc.

I did it! Well, for the most part. I have a functioning battery replacement system again, which took ages. Now I need to establish charge depletion of batteries. That shouldn't be too hard, I think.

Errors can be a good thing in Inform 7. They help me figure out what I need to do to get my system working if I pay attention. I just made my way through basic flashlight rules successfully, now I just have to define batteries (the hard part!)

Inform's built in cleaning feature threw me for a loop. I couldn't seem to override it! I problem-solved my way out of it though and now have a new spooky scene for players to enjoy~

I've started mapping the cottage! I know, I said I'd do it days ago. Still, it's going well. I'm establishing the first floor currently, which already exists in game. Then, it's time to expand the map quite a lot c:<

I created a system that randomly prints a Spooky Message while you're playing. Every handful or two of turns, a new message appears to give you a chill! Every Spooky Message is introduced by a ...

Gonna work on my game tonight. Took a little break as I finished the first floor of the cottage and now I have to start mapping, which I don't feel like doing lol

Meet the dev!

It's me, I'm the dev. I'm the only dev, actually. I'm making «Why Am I Here» by myself, learning Inform 7 from scratch using only the documentation and online resources.

Feel free to ask me questions about anything!

My doors are working flawlessly ;v; I'm so happy. I can't believe it took four days to figure out what I was doing wrong, but now that I have, I haven't had an issue running the game since.

I even added some ASCII art with the help of ASCII Art Archive! This appears at the start of the game when you spawn into the How To Play room.

Oh my gosh, my doors are finally working! Smooth like butter, as they should be. I'm so excited that I finally get to start writing my game again. The tutorial is coming along nicely!

Code down the left side, and gameplay on the right for an Inform 7 game I'm writing called Why Am I Here.

Took a day off from my game to celebrate reaching the halfway point (ish, the second half of the story will likely be a bit longer.) Time to get back to it! We're finally leaving the snow behind, but not the cold~

Combat in «A Snowy Night» is quite straightforward, but requires careful timing of your healing. >attack [the noun] with [the noun] is all you need to do! There are multiple weapons to find throughout the world.

And with 10k words under my belt, Chapter 2 of «A Snowy Night» is complete! This one breezed by now that I've got a feel for all the mechanics of my game.

Two chapters totalled approximately 200 moves, and that's not everything you're capable of doing in the game!
