"If there's enough interest, I'll do some more coverage in the future - maybe a feature on writing adventures"
YES PLEASE.
Well, I asked the same question on the Total Amiga mailing list, and to put it mildly, the response was lukewarm.
To put it in simple terms, I doubt I can persuade Robert to grant me space for any more articles on the subject under the circumstances.
You got it, if you need a petition no problemo. I can fake names as much as the next man ;-) Seriously
though its the only article in there I have read more than once. In old magazines ( Crash etc ) I used to flip straight to reviews of adventure games. It is also the best way to start to learn how to WRITE games in general because it forces you to think about game state.
I agree with you. The fact is that those people who are interested are
very interested, but the numbers are low.
If you don't carry on writing articles like that one Ill buy software from Haage & Partner as revenge.
NOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Seriously, this feature came about because I had mentioned starting up a web site focusing on interactive fiction (or text adventures) on the Amiga, and Robert picked up on it. The web site is still a possibility - I haven't decided yet - but unless Robert or the Total Amiga users demand otherwise I'm mothballing any plans to write any more I-F articles for the magazine, at least for the foreseeable future. There just doesn't seem to be enough interest to justify the space.
Getting things back on-topic, does anyone else here besides me and Sam Bifford play
Tales of Tamar?
