Fashion Quest

Fashion Quest is an interactive fiction framework being created so we can make a text adventure game about fashion because we love fashion and we love text adventure games.

You need Shoes to use this so download Shoes now to your computer:

Games created with the framework define the game using YAML files and bits of Ruby.

The framework is creeping towards alpha. Four test games come with the source.

The game "Fashion Quest: Daydream" is very small and mainly for demo purposes. It lives in the "game" directory.

The game "Pirate Adventure Knockoff" is a port of the 1978 text adventure "Pirate Adventure" by Scott Adams and lives in the "pirate_adventure" directory.

The game "Cloak of Darkness" is a port of a game that is used to compare IF frameworks. It shows how a game can be defined using one file (as is possible with games written using Inform and other frameworks). It lives in the "cloak_of_darkness" directory.

There is game stump in the "new_game" directory that can be used as a blank slate when starting development of a new game.

To try any of these use Shoes to open run.rb and select which you'd like to play.
