Hadean Lands and BLue Lacuna had a baby, WorldSmith (Advanced IF)
Hi everyone,
Introducing WorldSmith, the, in my opinion, most advanced Interactive Fiction game since Hadean Lands. The amount of lore and reading material in this freakin' game is insane, perhaps rivaling that of Infocom games. If you follow video games, the closest comparison I could make to would be Spore. Spore, with a story and plot. Creating worlds in this game is like creating a recipe of sorts. You poor ingrediants into what I'd call a caldron, and this game calls it... something else to make it seem unique to its world. Most of these names were procederally generated.
Anyhow, I have only just completed the tutorial and just got a glimpse into the story of this game. The one serious problem I am having right now is that when I read the book on the elements and things and use the browse command, of which after the tutorial are all hyperlinked, it says "You open the great book" without any links.
So yeah. Try it out and discuss here. It
9;s not advanced in the form of puzzles and the like, but knowing what goes together to create interesting worlds and, more importantly, the looking at the environment of it and figuring out what life to create on it is what boggles the mind for hours.
