Aw... there's still time! Embrace the normal speed-IF constraint of 2 hours of work! Do something short and fun in that quirky style of yours that I love! (Or don't... I do understand the whole Real Life thing. We'll see you tomorrow, it sounds like... hooray!)

It's not time that's the issue. I actually gave up two weeks ago, if the timestamp on the inform file is to be believed. (See the edit in my previous post for the reason.)

And an Inform 7 thing is right now beeing slapped out of bugs... well, almost, some of them I don't even have a clue of how to deal with... but that was part of the fun of beeing a first-timer! :lol:

Excellent! Yeah, I"ve had my share of bugs, too. Things that I *swear* worked just fine the other day now don't work and I can't see in the documentation how they possibly could have ever worked. Isn't learning a new coding language fun?!

* Not because of my chosen new language, which was Inform 7, but because I found myself unable to come up with any ideas. That's a bit depressing.

Oh, ah. Yeah, that's a bummer. :? See you tomorrow, though...

Awesome. With this extra time I may actually be able to make a thing that is somewhat complete from beginning to end with all choices making at least some sort of difference!

And finished. Ish.

There's tons more I would have liked to have added, but I got a lot done today. Now I need to go collapse.

By popular request, I've added a download link for The Matter of the Monster. See http://eblong.com/zarf/if.html#matter .

Where can we get the rest of the games? They're not yet on the Archive at this time.

At this moment my unpolished, non proofread (and it shows!), bug-infested "Haunted House" entry is temporaly available at http://www.megaupload.com/?d=M8O735RS . Hey! I love that sequence discovered at clubfloyd where you can leave from a bedroom carrying the bed... yohoo! :lol:

All of the entries were quite interesting and I would like to take a closer look to Emily Short's and Jaqueline's works. Hope they will be also available soon.

Jacqueline tells me that Choicescript is now working on Floyd, which theoretically should mean that my game is now playable on there as well. But I have no idea exactly what sequence of commands will make that happen, and I'm about to become potentially very isolated starting tomorrow.
