I want to thank all the participants on this year Ectocomp and also to Ruber for supporting the comp. There are 23 entries this year, fantastic number.

Good luck for the authors and for all of us let's enjoy playing the games.

also, mentioning that to maximize accessibility to the games for the broad tenure range of people, it is highly recommend to include both online play and standalone  downloads for your games, if possible.


Thanks for another amazing year at ECTOCOMP!!!

I know it took me a few times to get things (right/not totally wrong) with itch and Inform, but I think things have gone smoothly on the 6th or so try. I'd be glad to write up a tutorial, and I think some people who just entered a zblorb file would be glad to learn how to embed it in a webpage. I'd also assume this would count as an allowed update for Petite Mort, since no story text is changed.

Would such a thread be better here or on intfiction.org?

Also, 36 ratings already. Wow!

Andrew, I have a post at int-fiction about submitting IF at itchio.  Maybe you can continue from there, or create a specific post for inform. And we can cross link us here and there.

Take a look

Best regards.

Oh my! It turns out I actually liked posts in that topic. So it probably already helped me a lot. I think it does a great job of covering the big points. From what I recall, it made sense then, and it makes even more sense now.

I may wind up just adding screenshots of what exactly to click and what to delete, because--well, I might forget a detail or two for my next project, and having a reference would be nice.

And even for those of us that have published an HTMLized Inform project to itch.io, there's that stray stuff that'll slip through.

You have my permission to take the text, remix it and add pictures. That would be a nice addition, so we can sign the guide together.

or, if you think my post at intfiction is really fine, we can fine tune it there. You can send me pictures by email, and a proposal of remix of the text, and I will update it.
