 August 17, 2012 - 7:52pm | Anyone interested in having some fun making a Star Frontiers CYOA? I imagine we could use the Documents in the Adventure Writing Forum project. The main page will be the stories beginning with choices at the bottom. Each choice will be a new page. Kinda like the Refer to: The Keep It Rolling Story Sound like fun? Perhaps some of our kids can help write. I think the end product can be two-fold

 August 17, 2012 - 8:04pm | Interesting. Alas, I didn't publish it to the intarwebs because I have been having writers block on the first adventure. I have the outline/flow but the text is very primitive, work has been getting in the way. |
August 17, 2012 - 8:47pm | Is there a web site that would facilitate creation, something we all could sign up for? The son unit and I played "Castaway" earlier. This is very simple, not much reading and could easily be adapted to Star Frontiers. |
August 17, 2012 - 9:10pm | My intention was to put it up on my game company web server. Essentially another traffic generator. In fact if there is interest in using it I will finish it up. The viewer did require a registration as a player so that it can track chapters and stuff, I could change some things relatively easy so an anonymous user would go through SF specific adventures without the registration requirement. |
August 17, 2012 - 10:43pm | If we have more interest (maybe give this thread a week?) that might be a good idea since you have the means. We could announce on G+ as well. |
September 10, 2012 - 1:37pm | OK... I started something in the Adventure Writing Forum project. Content of Adventure Writing Forum project CYOA - Child of KurabandaBackground
You are an orphan marooned in the Zebulon system on Volturnus. Your parents were explorers killed in a mud slide near the forest where you were rescued by the Lohbor family of Clan Laphy. Background Material Spawn of Zebulon, The mysterious Kurabanda, Star Frontiersman Issue #7 START (This is where the story starts with a brief background and 2-3 options) Ideas;

September 11, 2012 - 8:03pm | Sounds like a good CYOA story. We should talk about what the reader interface needs to look like. I really need external motivation to finish off the interactive fiction engine (I spend more time writing since I code all day already :) ). Would anyone else use a CYOA story editor? |
September 12, 2012 - 2:04pm | I started a poll. It will prob get more exposure than this thread. :-) Refer to: Would you use a CYOA story editor? |
November 19, 2012 - 5:30pm | Get your story ideas ready! :) Current plan is to launch the interactive fiction/cyoa writer and reader during the first week of January when I install a server cluster for my game company at a local colocation facility. Sadly the current shared host is having reliability issues so I probably won't even bother posting it there even for testing. I've been using an e-copies of Captive Planet and Villians of Volturnus for testing, so those will be available to read when the application launches. |
 November 19, 2012 - 6:33pm | Cool. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
 November 21, 2012 - 5:51am | Tunnels & Trolls. Now that brings back memories. I like the concept being discussed here. Not sure if my schedule will permit my participation, but it sure sounds great! |
