Dialogues on Hyperfiction
A great deal of thought has gone into the problems of reading and writing
hyperfiction (which is what I feel Addventure is).
- There is a
mailing list discussing hypertext fiction and related issues.
- Gareth Rees.
Tree Fiction
September, 1994
- Michael Shumate and Prentiss Riddle.
Hyperizons and The Search for
some Hypertext Fiction.
Hyperfictional Sites
These sites have some of the best examples of hyperfiction,
hyperpoetry, or similar literature.
- Indra's Net by
John Cayley's
- Machine modulated poetry
- Eastgate
- Commercial publishers of fine hyptertext fiction and producers of
Storyspace, a hyperfiction authoring tool.
Addventure-like stories
The key feature of all of these is that they are expandable by
the players, or by players who register themselves.
- Stories from Downtown Anywhere
- Story extensions are approved by an editorial board.
-
The Literature Page
- Players are registered. Any registered player may submit an extension
to the storyline, which all the players vote on to accept.
-
The Walking Man
- A linear storyline where people suggest what happens next. Surprise
endings.
- Extendable Adventure
- Brian Smith
(besmith@uncc.edu) had trouble compiling Addventure, so he wrote his
own. (It doesn't appear to be up, however.)
- Cybersight
- Contains a very similar game, except you get to add choices to
rooms, and then create the room, instead of adding a room and
the possible options.
- The Maze
- A graphically mapped version, where you move around and answer
questions to the original author of the area. You can expand into
places of your own.
-
Your Wacky World Wide Web Adventure
- Also similar, with the ability to add an unlimited number of
choices to the scenario.
- Reactive Writing
- You don't have to write alone! L J Winson is running this as a
research project. New pages (including graphics and sound) and
links are accepted by various methods.
-
The CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE experiment
- E Horvath is running a game where new pages can be somewhat
automatically submitted for review before adding to ensure "the
correct balance of bizarreness, stupidity, and banality."
Large parts of the story are loaded at once to speed things up.
Other on-line stories
All of these may be linked adventures, but the players are not
authors.
- Drool
- You play a dog. It has various places to set values, but they're never
used.
- Hairball
- This one is about a cat... {:
-
Beneath the Village
- A GEAS Village adventure. An HTML dungeon with "lots of options".
-
Castle Sonnestein
- "Are you courageous enough to free the poor underestimated, unpaid,
unverschämt WWW programmer from the Sunpool?" A mostly linear
game with some branching and audio.
Where to find other games
Plenty of other stuff out on the web, some of them even link to Addventure.
-
Zarf's List of Interactive Games on the Web
-
Yahoo - the ultimate collection of web sites
- Multimedia
Games News - An online magazine with a free side and a subscription
side. They appear dedicated to finding multimedia games that are really
interactive, as opposed to ones that just pretend to be. Plenty of
demos, pictures, hints, tips, and previews. All information is in both
French and English.
