I plan to return to telling the story of The Myth of Merula very soon. In addition to writing Alice Mountolive’s fictional blog, I will be getting to Blackbird’s story. Blackbird’s story will be released chapter by chapter, in Flash. Each chapter will have a game at the end of it. The first chapter will have an interactive fiction game at the end of it. My goal is to release this first chapter and game by the end of this year. I’m toying with the idea of, just for the fun of it, releasing the interactive fiction game on a CD, along with a comic and a “feelie”. This is the way that many IF games were packaged and released in the Infocom days from what I have read. A “feelie” is a toy that comes with the game. I think it would be fun to experiment with a different type of game or simulation at the end of each chapter of Blackbird’s story. The plot will actually lend itself to this way of organizing it, too.
