TWINE 2.0 INTERACTIVE TEXT-BASED GAME

I've recently been dabbling in the realms of interactive fiction in the form of a Twine powered story. It's an exploration/adventure/walking-simulator with click & point-esque elements. Suffice to say it's a project I am really enjoying and hope to have a playable demo soon!

NO HUMMING HEARD;
THE RADIO'S LAST BROADCAST

This project is one that I've spent a great deal of time tweaking and editing.

​

It's a sequence of poems prompted to follow the same/similar route as my recently published sequence of reactionary poems for

Dark Matter's How Cold is the Sun?

​

This time though, the album of choice is 

The Humming Tapes, from the phenomenal mind and imagination of Pär Boström.

THE COLOUR OF WATER

This piece is very much a spiritual successor to A Colony of Lilies - after completing that story I still felt that I hadn't quite achieved what I'd wanted to. As a result, the premise for The Colour of Water  was born.

​

This short fictional piece is one occupied by themes of art, beauty, death, nature, loss and a whole number of others too. It seeks to explore them through a non-naturalistic story, perhaps even entering into the realms of magic realism, and is told through closely situated vignettes which follow the characters and their every decision from beginning to end.

​

The most experimental element of the project lies in the form and telling of the story, which attempts to blur the boundaries between poetry and fiction, replicating something of a hybrid form.

​

Upon finishing the piece, I decided I wanted to create an entire collection of short stories which would appear together with this one. But for now, they are still in the works.

​

Currently I am dabbling in the first of these additional stories, a piece titled Colossus.
