What's New with Addventure

This "What's New" page will only be dealing with the site in general. For changes in a particular game, see the "What's New" page for that game.

In celebration of five years (!) of The Unending Addventure, I would like to welcome you to our new home.
There have been some slight cosmetic changes, mostly in preparation for a new Addventure system and game, and some new projects of ours. If you have links directly into the stories, they should continue to work - contact me if there are problems.
Games 2 and 3 continue to be closed. But only for the moment! As part of this move, we got a lot of disk space, and we intend to reopen these classics. The catch is that they have to wait until Addventure 2.2 is finished (part of the deal to get the new machine).
The Peoples' Choice Awards are open! Although they won't affect the outcome of the Game 4 Contest, you can now vote for your favorite entries. Vote early! Vote often! Game 4 itself will open when Addventure 2.2 is ready as well.

We are running out of space again. Therefore we must, unfortunately, take some drastic action.
Game 2, The Unending Addventure, will be available to read but not extend. This is now making official what has been policy for about a year now.
Game 3, Endless Perspectives, will be shut down for backup and to move to its new location.

We will be moving the machine Addventure is sitting on in the next couple of days, so expect outages or other problems.

In celebration of two years of The Unending Addventure, we've reopened the games with a new version and a new look for all our pages!

In celebration of our 1 year anniversary, we are pleased to welcome you to our new home!
We have started a new game, Endless Perspectives, which will try to present a new... angle... on the game/story.
Game 1, Addventure Classic is now available for reading.
Game 2, The Unending Addventure is in the process of being moved over. Sorry for the delay.

Addvenure will be moving to a new site soon! We're pretty excited about it, and we hope to offer some new stuff after the move.

I've added some sections to get your feedback for possible new games.
With over 30,000 rooms able to be created, I've temporarily closed Game 1. I hope to reopen it after cleaning it up a bit.

Addventure 2.0 is now the standard version! Check out the new documentation including details about what is new.
There is a new game going, The Unending Addventure, which I hope you enjoy.
The original game will still be running with Addventure 1.2 for a little while. I will then shut it down and change it to a "browse only" version.

Note: All of these events are from the original game, and it is unlikely that the links work, or that any of this is relevant.

After far too long a delay, Addventure 2.0 is entering final testing and should be available for play RRRRSN.
For a sneak peak, see the preview.

Netcom (and maybe Prodigy) users: I have made some changes to the home page so you should have no problems playing now. Let me know if I'm wrong.
I've had some discussions with Netcom tech support on this issue. Thanks for their help and, more importantly, the people who have sent me email trying to resolve this issue.

Addventure 2.0 is (finally) entering Beta test. Expect it within days.
Feel free to send us feedback about the game. This link is also available from the main page.

Thanks to the server administrators, who now do usage statistics runs on just the Addventure pages, the results from the past few weeks are now available from the main screen.
A couple of small cosmetic changes to the home page.

Addventure 2.0 entered alpha testing today. The new features will be announced later. Suffice it to say that this is a warning that the original game will be ended soon (but not destroyed).

Source code for Addventure and the main library it uses to read fields from forms is now available.

Updated the Addventure programs to version 1.2
- Added the wiperoom program to help clean out rooms
Began a campaign to clean-up some dead-end rooms that had nothing in them. (Or at least no choices and it clearly wasn't an ending.)

Updated the Addventure programs to version 1.1
- Less likely that "dead-end" rooms can be created. All rooms created must have at least one choice and new "description" pages have a way to reject the room.
- The text area may now be arbitrarily large
- The "click here for entry" link now tries to trick smart browsers that do document caching.
