clyde Posted October 22, 2013 Emily Short wrote what appears to be an opinion piece on evaluating interactive fiction. I enjoyed reading it. http://emshort.wordpress.com/2013/10/22/if-comp-2013-roundup/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

juv3nal Posted November 3, 2014 (from that IF Comp) Creatures Such as We is pretty good. It's a dating sim/roman a clef about Bioware. It touches on stuff like the Activision acquisition, the dissatisfaction over the ending to ME3, and the "just pick the right options to get sex/love" nature of the romances in their games.

TangoCharlie Posted November 21, 2014 Good round-up of some IF/Twine gems over on Metafilter. Might be redundant to some of the stuff mentioned in this thread, but hey, what, am I made of time? … probably make sure to not miss Horse Master. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sclpls Posted November 21, 2014 I don't know where else to post this, but this seems like a pretty good thread to do so because there is an incredible New York piece on Twine games that features an interview with Porpentine, and it is one of the best things I've ever seen written about video games. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/11/23/magazine/twine-the-video-game-technology-for-all.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ben X Posted November 22, 2014 Fuck it, I've changed the thread title to make this into a general interactive fiction/text adventure thread, and linked to Clyde's subsequent Twine thread in an OP edit (if a mod wanted to merge them that would also be awesome).

Ben X Posted November 22, 2014 That is a great article, sclpls, I really need to play some of Porpentine's stuff. In other news, has anyone played THIS?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
juv3nal Posted November 8, 2016 emshort has some picks for ifcomp 2016: https://emshort.wordpress.com/2016/11/07/if-comp-2016-roundup/ also Brendan Hennesy, the guy behind Birdland (if you haven't played it omg play birdland) has a new thing: http://known.zone/ It's episodic though, with only the first chapter available for the moment.

Dewar Posted November 8, 2016 Probably worth posting this as well, probably goes over the same games, but in more detail. http://www.giantbomb.com/articles/guest-column-ifcomp-2016-five-authors-and-six-game/1100-5504/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
