February Comps
ParserComp 2015
Little clicking is required in this
competition. As the name indicates, this
competition is for games with an old school
interface. (And there's nothing wrong with
ParserComp is put on by Carolyn
VanEseltine. In her words, “ParserComp 201 5
is a ranked, long-form game jam for parser
games (also sometimes called text adventures).”
Fourteen games were submitted.
The theme is “sunrise,” but you don't have
to get up early in the morning to play these, so
what are waiting for?
Voting is happening until March 1 4.
Concours de Fictions Interactives Francophones
2015 (aka Frenchcomp 2015)
It is interesting to see IF competitions
organized in languages other than English, like
in French! 201 5 marks the ninth year of the
Frenchcomp 201 5, or the Concours de Fictions
Interactives Francophones 201 5.
Voting will end March 1 5. Judges have
until then to complete three games, which is
doable, depending on when you are reading
this.
Take your time and enjoy!
Results will be published in the next issue, and
best wishes to contenders in both competitions.
My Compy Valentine
Not exactly a competition, but more of a "mini-festival," this event, sponsored by the IF
journal SPAG, was an outlet in which authors could express their thanks to the developers who
created the tools to let them succeed.
There were three entries created in three different systems: Inform, Twine, and good old text.
