French IF Comp

[Otto Grimwald]

The French IF community is proud to announce the beginning of the votes
for our 2009 Comp (yes, we lag a bit...)

http://ifiction.free.fr/index.php?id=concours&date=2009

If you can read French, you can participate to the votes by playing to
our 3 games:

http://ifiction.free.fr/index.php?id=jeu&j=048
http://ifiction.free.fr/index.php?id=jeu&j=049
http://ifiction.free.fr/index.php?id=jeu&j=050

I've played a bit to them, and they are made by authors who have quite
experience with coding in Inform, and who have focused on delivering
some funny and amusing stories, so we hope you'll enjoy them.

You can download them from there, or play them online using Parchment or
Zmpp.
It's even better if you can provide a transcript along with your votes.

There are 3 notes to give for each game (from 1 to 10, 10 being the best
of course):
- Pleasure to play, mood, ideas, story (weight 2)
- Writing skills (weight 1)
- technical skills (weight 1)

You can send your votes to ifictionfr #@t# gm@il #.#d@t#.# com

Hi,

After playing this year's submissions to the the French IF
competition, I wrote short blog reviews for each of the three games.
This was something of an exercise in rolling out the new blog, which
so far is not very polished looking. Nonetheless, the reviews can be
found at http://blog.templaro.com/?p=9

The posts are in English, but lack cuts, so beware that spoilers will
be visible.
