The DC chapter of IGDA is doing a Text Adventure gamejam this weekend at the Westwood college:http:\/\/sjklevine.com\/igda_dc\/textjam\/<\/a><\/p>\n

I no longer live in DC, but I thought I’d jam along with them!<\/strong> \u00a0If you want to join me, I setup a Facebook event:\u00a0https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/611843362194465\/<\/a><\/p>\n

An alternative for those who think text games might be too boring, and want a meatier game experience while still fitting the theme of the jam, would be to try an “Idle” game:
