Vivienne Dunstan<p>And several minutes later after updating my <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Twine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Twine</span></a> version I've made a good start.

Vivienne Dunstan<p>Designing a new <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/interactiveFiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>interactiveFiction</span></a> game. Made huge progress with the design yesterday. It's big for me in scale, and pretty ambitious, but exciting at the same time. I'm now pondering the overall game name. Which can be changed if I want to in future, but I'd prefer to settle on it sooner. Close to firing up a new <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Inform" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Inform</span></a> source code file and setting up the initial structural framework. <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/IndieGame" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IndieGame</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/IndieGames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IndieGames</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/GameDev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GameDev</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/CreativeWriting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CreativeWriting</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Coding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Coding</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Programming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Programming</span></a>&nbsp;<a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Game" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Game</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Inform7" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Inform7</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/TextAdventure" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TextAdventure</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Parser" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Parser</span></a></p>
