Your Very Own Text Adventure

Source: https://adventuron.io/

The magic and level of immersion of a well-done text adventure can be overwhelming. Text adventures of the late 70s and later variants with bitmap graphics enjoyed great popularity then as now and paved the way for more modern point & click adventures like the ones by LucasArts mentioned above.

With the BASIC interpreters available in classic 8-bit machines it was possible, to create your own text adventure with relatively little effort. But imagine you had a modern, browser-based tool with which you could build your very own text adventure in 2021 and publish it on itch.io!

That is exactly what Chris Ainsley and the wonderful folks of @LearnAdventuron thought, and created Adventuron. A game creation environment for text based adventure games. In. Your. Browser!

You are introduced to the easy-to-learn scripting language with the help of a tutorial. In no time you will find yourself in your very own text adventure and can release your gem for mobile devices, desktop systems but also classic computers.
