Gates of Death – A Long Expected Party?
A final decision has been made it would seem by a much esteemed member of the FF community Mark Lain (cba to write you an internal link we got menus): https://ffreviewermalthusd.blogspot.com/2018/07/12-gates-of-death.html Overall – may well disappoint those expecting something written in the 80’s – for a new generation – who knows? Read between the lines I would advise – this is a stonker of a review and much emphasis has been placed on Higsons succesful and generous use of ‘looping’ in a gamebook – this is NO MEAN FEAT I can assure you as someone who has coded up these adventures repeatedly. ! or 2 loops may be found in many gamebooks – but – actually making use of the many loops essential??? Mindblowing. Niiiiiiiiice. There are other major head re-aligning concepts I am gagging to tell you that are required to complete the gamebook, but you may not want spoilers. Read at leisure in a Port of Your Own Peril 🙂
Long Term Works
Just in case anyone does read this and is wondering what’s going on at the moment, I am currently in the process of redesigning and rewriting the entire site to use an SQL database. This will take a long time, so do not expect much to happen elsewhere on the site in the meantime. As always contact me if you have any questions or suggestions.
New Adventures
Over the past couple of months I have added 3 new adventures, Jam Hirons ‘Lair of the Lunatic’, and Mark Lains’ ‘Honour and Glory’ and ‘Legacy of the Vampire’, as well as several adjustments to the system which you probably will not notice – apart from the lovely new illustration for our Login page courtesy of Lee Hunt. Enjoy.
New Fantazine available
Fighting Fantazine issue #16 is now available for download at fightingfantazine.co.uk! I will update the menu links here soon.
Warning About Trying the GUIDES to creating a book
DO NOT COPY AND PASTE CODE FROM THE GUIDES INTO THE EDITOR.
The WordPress CMS uses fancy quotes. This will break your code. I am working on a solution….
Back
After an extended period away from working on the site I am back, and have done a few things here or there you might notice (and some things you wont)….
We are not alone…
After many years of having run this place almost by myself (thanks to Alexander Ballingail for stepping in once when I was incapacitated), fightingfantasy.net welcomes on board Kevin Abbotts who will be assisting in tending to day to day administration of the site – as well as making those bookmarks we’re sure you enjoy. Thanks for helping out Kevin, may your Stamina never fail! (I’ll get round to updating the ‘About Us’ page soon)
Play Books as a Guest
Experimentally, you may now play the gamebook system as a Guest, not requiring any sign up or log in. Please report any difficulties you find. Enjoy!
