I’m in and plan to write a text adventure.

My main aim will be to write an amusing, quirky story. I haven’t succesfully written a game with  much of a story before, so this will be interesting.

My tools:

• Mousepad (editor)
• Go (compiler)
• Mercurial (version control)
• MtPaint, GIMP (bitmap editors)
• Sun Vox (synthesizer)

I have two libraries I’ve written, feel free to use them:

• Interactive Fiction Library (engine for text adventures)
• Allegro 5 wrapper (backup incase I go for a conventional sort of game)

IFL is missing quite a few things, but is already 987 lines of code. The design should allow me to easily add support for multiplayer and a web interface. I’m developing on Linux so I’ll have to check whether it works on Windows. I know I need to fix support for CR/LF newlines.

Good luck people!
