If you get around to recreating (or open-sourcing) it, I would like to be notified. I hope that "Follow" is sufficient to let me do this? (I'm not that familiar with this site.) I may not have much time to play text adventures these days, but they do fill me with nostalgia, and I love that people are still developing engines to make them faster and easier than anything I could've done back when I got started programming.
P.S. Look up Inform 7; it's an incredible engine based on human-readable code.
