Interactive Fiction
Interactive Fiction is a genre of text-based games that take place on the computer. It is all about creating an adventure that feels real in the minds of the player, as there are no graphics involved. I took a class during my junior year that focused on the development of Interactive Fiction games.
My Game
For the final assignment we were asked to choose a cultural object and analyze it through a game. I decided on analyzing Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark. I focused on the archeological aspects of the film in comparison with actual archeological methods. Below is the link to Parchment, which will allow play of the game online.
Dakota Smith and the Temple of the Elementals
This is the latest version of my game. It follows a student of Indiana Jones as she goes on a dig that challenges the views of archaeology she developed under the tutelage of Dr. Jones. |
