Sencillo, rápido y eficaz. Ideal para prototipar la narrativa y el gameplay de juegos distintos a los de texto, como RPG, adventure, etx

Very cool software and well worth the price. Comes with a well-written instruction manual, is accessible for beginners, and has a very active and helpful developer.

This is an engine for creating old school text adventures that utilize a two term parser. It comes with a player for distributing creations to folks who don't own the software.
Its rough around the edges. Its not quite as easy to use as ADRIFT, but the fact that it has its own supported player for distribution is awesome.
If you like text adventures like I do, there is fun to be had here.

As a game developer and fan of the old school text-driven adventures of the 8-bit years, I grabbed this hoping for some nostalgia. Back in the day, my best friend and I used a (now classic) adventure-building program to create our masterpiece! I was hoping IFAC would bring back those fond old memories. Did it?
Hell, yes! I have started a project similar to the one I created with my friend, this time using IFAC. The memories come flooding back. It's the minimalist form of it - text-only. In the eighties, it was a necessity but these days a privilege offered by few game development tools. It is a rare and precious blast from the past. You can tell the developer truly cares about the games that preceded the spoon-feeding imagination-dulling games of today.
I have been having great fun making little pictures from keyboard symbols, just like thirty-five years ago:
.--^--.
{.oI.o}
\...I.. /
.\-O-/.
...##...
^ My wise old Wizard Quest guide! Sorry... the pic doesn't work well here but looks better in-app.
This is already an impressive app with its powerful in-built language and database system.
I am looking forward to a standalone export feature and also a way for the player of the exported game to save game progress (because I believe this app is capable of producing epic games that might not be completed in one gameplay session).
This is an app for visionary writers. It saves your project when you exit, without fuss... almost like your old typewriter.
A nostalgic trip down Memory Lane and a chance to create a classic of your own.
My first project created with IFAC will be dedicated to my late friend and I have every reason to believe it will be a worthy tribute.
Highly recommended!!!
