These are prototypes of text-based narrative games created using Inky, the desktop application for Inkle, the narrative scripting language. I am a big believer in Interactive Fiction as a means of expressing what the word written on paper cannot. It’s also just fun.
My first game demos were created in the Bitsy Engine. I recommend it highly for prototyping simple concepts. These only took me a few hours each to build, and sometimes the need to express your idea immediately in a tangible form is more important than using a sophisticated game engine. These are some of the first internal prototypes I created for Outpost4.
These are prototypes which I created with the assistance of an LLM such as Claude or Deepseek. I cannot take credit for any of the code, though troubleshooting it was an interesting learning experience. These are mainly created using Javascript.
For commercially-available games, such as Nocturne, the VR musicmaker, see Outpost4.
