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.
