I made myself a new website so that my Twine games would no longer be at the mercy of philome.la going down.
Seedship's new home is:
https://www.johnayliff.com/games/seedship/
The hosting site is back up so Seedship is back at its usual home.
In case you're trying to play Seedship but can't: the hosting site philome.la is down, but the game is also on itch.io:
Just put up a patrons-only dev blog announcing my next Twine game (although it doesn't have a title yet). https://www.patreon.com/posts/next-project-orc-8750929
If you want to get started with procedural text generation but you're not sure how to start, may I recommend Tracery? http://tracery.io/
It's an accessible way to start playing around with generative text. And it's also powerful enough to drive complex results.
King Midas, from our universe, who didn't think it through, and died. Queen Midas, from their universe, who realized her mistake immediately, and set about solving the problem.
Faraday mitts that let her handle objects. Hyper-amorphous meals that resisted transfiguration. Gold-threaded fabrics that fooled her powers enough to stay comfortable.
Her life was difficult, but her treasury always had funds, and her subjects were always happy.
The soil she was buried in still shines.
I'm John Ayliff, #scifi writer and Twine #gamedev. I'm from the UK but now live in Vancouver.
So far I've published one novel: https://johnayliff.com/belt-three/
...and released one game: http://philome.la/johnayliff/seedship/play
