Jay Is Games All-IF Competition Begins
Stephen Granade
kicked off. It's all IF, and it's got some 30 entries, a number of them
by members of this community (including me!).
Judging is open to everyone, and you have three weeks to play and rate
the games.

hmm, having not much fun with one of the entries so far:
"Everywhere else you look, all you can see are trees.
>look at trees
You can't see any such thing."
plus the annoyance of being confined to one spot alone. Then again,
the motto of the competition is "escape"... at least for this one,
that's all I want. :)

BTW, just finished it. what a stinker, no consistent plot
development, no explanations for anything and truly lousy ending after
just a few rounds...
gotta review another...

The ones with names/pseudonyms I recognized:
Escape in the Dark, by Owen Parish (the torch)
Fragile Shells, by me (the space station)
Heavenly, by Jim Aikin (the harp)
Hoosegow, by Ben Collins-Sussman and Jack Welch (the icon with the
wooden building)
Roofed, by Jim Munroe (the guy in a striped top and green pants sitting
down)
Zegrothenus, by Poster (the z icon)

some of these games are quite unpolished to appear on a commercial
site, like:
"
>listen
You cannot hear anything
You hear a shoe ringing.
"

True enough -- I spotted two or three games that suffered from coding
flaws that might have been spotted with a little more testing. (And I'm
not just saying that because I have a game in the competition. I'm not
even going to say which ones they were; I think that's fair.)
On the plus side, Jay Is Games is getting new authors to try their hand
at IF, and that's surely a good thing.

Yes, hope so.
BTW, there are two sponsors for this competition. Would they be
interested in IF, too?
