- Create a new and original Interactive Fiction game.
- The game must have exactly ten rooms.
- The map of all ten rooms must be visually accessible in 2D format or if you're a
snappy graphic artist, some sort of 3D imagery is acceptable. You must provide a
graphical map.
- Use any tools you wish, but see #5.
- Game must be playable in a browser.
- Hosting Requirement *** REMOVED ***. You can send your games to me to host on Linux
or Windows Server 2008 (IIS), or you can host them yourself. I'd still like to authenticate
players completing each game somehow, possibly through an AJAX call with a game-embedded
password or something.
- Bug fixes will be allowed at all times after games are "released".
- Competition Deadlines: February 1, 2012 - Sign up deadline. This gives you time
to think about it, play around with some ideas, and decide if you want to proceed.
See http://textfyre.com/tenrooms/ to enter.
- March 15, 2012 - Beta submissions.
- April 30, 2012 - Final submissions, voting begins.
- May 15, 2012 - Voting Ends, winner announced.
Competition Voting: Open web voting from people proven to have played through all
of the games. Since all of the games need to be playable online, I'll rig up an
authentication system to allow voting once a user has completed all of the games.
Competition Prizes: I'm not sure what anyone will be interested in as a prize, so
I'm open to suggestions. Textfyre can donate cash or an otherwise appropriate prize.
Donations and suggestions welcome.
