Amazing Text Fun Game Engine 1.1
Amazing Text Fun Game Engine - fiction game engine more>>
Well then you are probably a huge geek. But thats ok, so are we. Welcome home.
In fact, the programming team at ATF has decided that its time for "interactive fiction" to get a much-needed shot in the arm. Games today are too full of imagery, animation, and action. All of this really draws away from the most important aspects of a game: the plot and the challenge. In order to effect change, weve written a game engine for text-based games.
Whats a game engine, you ask? Well its interpreter for a game: A game developer writes a game with certain rules and behaviors, and the game engine decodes that game and presents it to you, the player! No more pictures, no more motion; just you, your keyboard, and the game.
Amazing Text Fun Game Engine is an interactive fiction game engine.
