“The Shadow in the Cathedral” is one of the best IF games released this year. Maybe not the best, but that would be a large claim to make considering that it’s competing with Blue Lacuna, Make It Good, The King of Shreds and Patches, the top couple comp games… it’s been a good year for IF.
But Shadow definitely belongs in the top tier.
The last day of my workshop in Passo Fundo.
Just wanted to draw attention to zarf’s post about PAX East:
IF activity at PAX Boston!
…will happen. Details when we have them.
What? No, I really don’t know yet.
What? I’m talking about Penny Arcade Expo East, scheduled for March 26-28 next year, in downtown Boston. I’ll be there. Quite a few IF folks are interested in showing up. We all said “Yeah, we should get together at PAX and do some stuff!”
Zarf will be there; Jason Scott will be there; barring employment issues getting in the way, I will be there. (I registered, but it’s still conceivable Real Life will hit me in the nose instead.) Various other IF folks have said they might be there as well. There might well be an IF panel of some kind, and/or a showing of Jason Scott’s documentary.
Continuing background on my IF workshop in Passo Fundo.
TIGSource is running a game contest in two parts: participants in the first part submit music and art assets, which participants in the second part can then incorporate into whatever kind of game they can imagine.
