Failbetter Games
Aug. 9th, 2012 11:27 am(which itself is a name to conjure with, don't you think?) are working on a package for designing games like their Fallen London and The Night Circus, to allow people to grow their own. It's called Story Nexus, and I'm very excited about it.
While I love the idea of making a Story Nexus game about my own Story Nexus (recursion: see Recursion), I think it might be more fun to try and base one around some part of the Nyrond experience. It would have to be a part; I couldn't possibly design anything as big as FL on my tod. Homeship life, possibly, from arrival/vathatching through training to, well, homeship life.
I wonder if anyone would be interested? It's early days yet, of course, they're nowhere near alpha yet let alone beta (correction: closed beta running as we speak), but the draft manual looks copable-with. Find it here, if you're interested. (Or if that doesn't work, you should be able to get there from here.)
