Cidney<p>"Historically, surrealist stop motion animation engages its audience in exploring concepts dealing with perception and reality using a bizarre, dream-like aesthetic by manipulating physical objects one frame at a time." </p><p>I worked with Amber on <a href="https://social.city-of-glass.net/tags/ColossalCave" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ColossalCave</span></a> in VR and this is... very far out of my area of expertise but very very cool. <a href="https://social.city-of-glass.net/tags/gamedev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gamedev</span></a> <a href="https://social.city-of-glass.net/tags/animation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>animation</span></a> <a href="https://social.city-of-glass.net/tags/3D" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>3D</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://lief3d.dev/2024/09/10/first-post/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">lief3d.dev/2024/09/10/first-po</span><span class="invisible">st/</span></a></p>
Jukka O. Kauppinen<p>Vuonna 1977 julkaistu Colossal Cave Adventure on ketterästi yksi historian tärkeimmistä peleistä. Colossal Cave on oikeastaan kaikkien seikkailupelien isä, äiti ja syntylähde. Modernimman version tekeminen muinaisesta tekstipohjaisesta seikkailusta onkin melkoinen kunnianosoitus.</p><p>@pelikopteri <a href="https://mastodontti.fi/tags/pelikopteri" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pelikopteri</span></a> <a href="https://mastodontti.fi/tags/v2fi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>v2fi</span></a> @V2pisteFi @v2.fi <a href="https://mastodontti.fi/tags/videopelit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>videopelit</span></a> <a href="https://mastodontti.fi/tags/videogames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>videogames</span></a> <a href="https://mastodontti.fi/tags/extralife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>extralife</span></a> @v2fi <a href="https://mastodontti.fi/tags/ColossalCave" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ColossalCave</span></a> <a href="https://mastodontti.fi/tags/CygnusEntertainment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CygnusEntertainment</span></a> <a href="https://mastodontti.fi/tags/seikkailupelit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>seikkailupelit</span></a></p><p><a href="https://www.v2.fi/uutiset/pelit/38645/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">v2.fi/uutiset/pelit/38645/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>

Andrew Plotkin<p>Speaking of adventure game maps...</p><p>A long time ago (1998!) I went through a phase of making custom stickers for Rubik's Cubes.</p><p>This one has the map of Colossal Cave wrapped around it. </p><p>It's not the complete map -- I only had 36 facets to work with. Missing areas include above-ground, the Giant Room/Reservoir area, and the alike-maze.</p><p>However, the parts I *did* fit on there are accurate. I think I only fudged one exit.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/InteractiveFiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>InteractiveFiction</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/Maps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Maps</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/Cubes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Cubes</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/Puzzles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Puzzles</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/ColossalCave" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ColossalCave</span></a></p>
