Obsidian and IF Game Planning

I currently do all of my “writing” and “research” in Obsidian. Before I touched any editor I just sat down and kind of scraped out my brains about what I wanted in the game. The organization will come up as I go through the process. If I come across something I will probably want to reuse, I write it down. If I come across an obstacle, I write it down. If I find a solution, I’ll also write it down. I also show some old notebooks where I wrote pseudocode and lil room diagrams for a Legend of Grimrock 2 mod from, I don’t know, 2016 briefly.

The only goal for making videos is to catch up on the creative projects I had intended to tackle over the last few years that got diverted because my day job and personal life were exceedingly stressful. One of the things I’ve wanted to explore for a while has been Interactive Fiction and the wider genre of text/storybook style games.

I Want To Make An Interactive Fiction Game

Keeping It Real: I decided to not put in a few edited minutes of playing a game in Ink because I was screen recording the left monitor initially and you could see my approaching-forty-baldness too clearly for my fragile self esteem to include.

The only goal for making videos is to catch up on the creative projects I had intended to tackle over the last few years that got diverted because my day job and personal life were exceedingly stressful. One of the things I’ve wanted to explore for a while has been Interactive Fiction and the wider genre of text/storybook style games.

I have started an attempt to create a small IF game and will be documenting the learning process.

CHANNELSURFS – Extended Trailer

CHANNELSURFS was a locally produced variety show featuring both genuine modern and vintage tv clips mixed in with edited or fake tv clips as well as the occasional comedy sketch. The show ran non-linearly for nearly 4 years ending right before the rise of MTV programming that many say might have been inspired by CHANNELSURFS given the similarity in attitude and presentation.

Rebroadcasts will air on Animal Cracker TV as soon as each episode is ripped and restored from the master tapes.
