StoryNexus, that wonderful tool for making interactive fiction/games in the vein of Echo Bazaar/Fallen London and co. Look here) and around for information. Link to StoryNexus forums.

I've been invited into the beta at last! Hurray! Anybody else in, or interested in the platform at all? Discuss worlds you've found or created here, plan a Bay 12 community world (why not?), etc etc.

In any case, it's still an obvious beta, but seems smooth and easy-to-use enough even at this stage. I'll have to find the notes for my planned airship-captainery extragavanza.

I'm interested. Always like creative platforms like these. If you're able to invite people that'd be perfect.

Checking this out, I've always liked Fallen London..until I got stuck in the Wounds area and logged in for a week without escaping. Still a fun game, though.

Here's a link to sign up for beta, found through their website. The one they gave me on the page has a referral, it seems..not sure if that does anything or what, but I'll leave it on there.

@Fallen London: Huh? How did you manage that? I've only hit the Scandal failure area and was out of there the next day.

I don't know if the referrals do anything anymore at this point, but it can't hurt to try. Signing up is worth it, anyways.

Spoiler: Off topic (click to show/hide)

The Wounds area is terrible. Your options are to:
a.) Donate living animals till you run out (I only had a few)
b.) Play a game with a 50/50 chance to either raise or lower your Wounds
or c.) Draw cards that will more likely reduce Wounds, although some raise still, IIRC.

I've just heard I apparently can invite others to act as editors (as well as just give links to the worlds, but that I knew already). So, ffs and anyone else, if you'd want to see what I'm working on/help me with it, I'd be glad to have you aboard. You'll need to make a character in the world (and a Failbetter account/connect your Facebook to Fallen London, if you haven't already). I'll PM anyone who has interest.

I would be interested in checking it out, both to see the basics of the system and to check out what you personally have going.

Err, bad news. Despite the creators' claims, this feature isn't actually in yet. *lesigh*

Apparently, current procedure is to email Failbetter and request permissions for any non-beta would-be contributors. I am not doing that atleast right now, but feel free to see things from the player's point of view by this finely-crafted link. The 'prologue' is still work in progress - the empty choice at the Lord of the Glade card leads out of it. There's not an awful lot of content yet, but I'm adding more fairly continously.

Good news for anyone still interested - StoryNexus is now officially open to evrrrybody with an account. Still beta, but as I said, works well. Here through the Create a world button. I still can't seem to add anyone to my worlds, so no collab worlds yet. Once that's implemented, I'd be happy to work with anyone and everyone here on Bay12.
