By now , if you played the simple engine you should notice the add sound button on the bottom of the page , my question is , is this music suitable to play , when reading the gamebooks? In case you wont like it you could suggest your own video/music on youtube that bests suits there, Thanks

some changes will take effect on the near future regarding readability of house of pain adventure (will use the pdf version instead of the Word document to export the text ) so stay tuned for a new version of House of Pain on the sourceforge page

The project has reached the three digits downloads on sourceforge Edit: For a project that unpretentiously just want to give a breath of revival to a genre that most people has long put to a grave that quite good isn´t it? To think that this new generation prefers to catch pokemons than read a good adventure book leaves a kind of a bitter taste in my mouth.

In what format do you receive these adventures? I'm just curious in case I get around to writing mine up. Hello Pete did you already start to make your own adventure , i am curious how it will turn out. Other News: -Correction on the House of Pain sourceforge adventure (it had only 400 references when it should have 499) -Deathtrap is now available as windows application. link

I have been trying not to copy , and be different from the other site layout but i think it turned out ugly so i copied the colors from his big brother (ffgamebooks-online.com) should be better for reading online, comments would be highly regarded .

Hello Pete did you already start to make your own adventure , i am curious how it will turn out. Hi offm! My adventure changed from a Fighting Fantasy to something else. I was helping a friend with her own gamebook system and began to feel dissatisfied with using the Fighting Fantasy system, and also all work on it is on hold at the moment as I'm stupidly busy and will be for the foreseeable future. But it's become quite a personal project which probably isn't appropriate for general use anyway. That doesn't mean I won't one day adapt one of my other ideas for Fighting Fantasy, but I lack the time to either write or play gamebook adventures at the moment.

I am currently studying a system to save the notes written (with user and password) on the gamebooks when user closes the browser.

Post by offm on Mar 10, 2017 15:50:30 GMT
The username and password for saving the notes for later use is now implemented.

a little more info: there is no way to recover the user/password as it is not attached to any mail account, and it wont be on the future, as i haven't email account on this domain, the only way is to make a new user/password , Cheers, have a great reading .
Note:Please do not use any relevant user/pass , the pass is encrypted but on the net we never know if it´s 100% safe

What i meant was that i do things , then i start to think , maybe i could make it improve it, basically i like to research new things, it gives me so much satisfaction because i don't have a high degree on programming, in my job i do all kinds of things programming is not a primary function, but i like to learn new things . Talking a little of your adventure, the idea of the monster slowly chasing us is fabulous, i have to read more to make a better comment tough.
