Couldn't you just develop these games on phones/tablets, with full color and a keyboard?
Just like the rabbit r1, this could have been an ~~email~~ app
Yay more e-waste.
I was just thinking about texting adventures and if there were any with like trained llm backends
More interactive than CYOA, more restrictive than traditional text adventures. Kind of point-and-clicky. IDK. I'm intrigued and will keep an eye on it. I hope they release the SDK well in advance of launch at least.
Can you not do a choose your own adventure book on a standard eReader with anchor links?
Yes but that won’t allow the game to track stats, inventory, etc, or to dynamically change the text based on game state, so you’d be strictly limited to traditional CYOA book conversions.
This looks to be aiming for something more advanced.
That sounds like a software issue more than anything. You can "run" Doom entirely in a PDF document (by PDF supporting embedded javascript). Any ebook reader supporting that feature set of PDFs would be able to handle "full fledged" games.
Without a keyboard, that sounds terrible. Or just a glorified e-reader.
Sadly, I doubt it will get much traction, a portable device for text adventures, without a keyboard?
Ok, you can use suggestions, but that can spoil the gameplay....
I could live without the "guess which commands even work right now", aspect of the original gameplay.
I don't have the game patience I had back then.
It’s absurd that this doesn’t have a keyboard.
Looks good
Didn't Tom Hanks invent this in "Big"?
