IF Comp 2014 Results, and upcoming post-mortem discussion

ifcompIF Comp 2014 is over! Congratulations to Sean M. Shore for the winning entry Hunger Daemon, a thoroughly enjoyable piece of work. Full comp results, including the stats breakdown on all the votes, can be found at the IF Comp website. There are also some interesting author post-mortems on various games turning up on the intfiction forum; currently these include background for Hunger Daemon, Krypteia, Raik, Missive, Eidolon,
Transparent, Alethicorp,
The Entropy Cage, Following Me, Fifteen Minutes, Tea Ceremony, Inward Narrow Crooked Lanes and Ugly Oafs. (And my Roundup post is no longer stickied, but if you want it, it’s here.)

For those who’d like to discuss any aspect of the Comp live, we’re having a session of IF Discussion Club on that very topic! It’s 8 PM British time, 3 PM Eastern, noon Pacific, on November 22 on ifMUD (and there’s also an IRC channel set up to access the discussion for those who have trouble with ifMUD for whatever reason). I don’t have a strong planned agenda for this discussion; I feel like I’ve said a lot about this comp already and I’d rather hear about what others think.

But maybe you have something you’d like to see discussed: things that you particularly liked, trends you found exciting, experiments you hope will see some followup, or something else entirely? If there’s something you’d like to get people thinking about prior to the discussion itself, please feel free to post questions/thoughts here, and we’ll take that as a bit of a springboard.

  1. The theoryclub gateway is XMPP (Jabber) group chat, not IRC. Most multiprotocol chat clients support XMPP.

    To access the chat, go to group-chat room “theoryclub” on server “conference.volity.net”. (Depending on your client, you might enter this as a single address: “theoryclub@conference.volity.net”.)
