Gamebookery

Lots of interesting discussion at the moment about the future of books, games, gamebooks and interactive text. Notably here and here (where there is also an awesome looking hybrid of the whole lot in gestation).

Inkle's new adaptation of the 'Sorcery!' books looks like it could really break up some new ground and has inspired me to take the sheets off my old gamebook project, 'The Tower of Clavius Boon' and consider putting it into either Twine or inklewriter. I've tested out the latter approach here.

In other gamebook news, there is a new post over at Turn to 400. This is like a little Christmas for me.
