AIF Toolkit v0.6.1 (UPDATE 03/22/2014)

(I know this is only relevant for a narrow portion of the AIF audience, so from now on I'll only post major updates as separate blog posts. Minor updates will be added as edits to the original post. You can follow my blog (see sidebar) for more consistent updates.)

The AIF Toolkit is an AIF authoring system for Inform 7. Click below for more details.

This month in AIF (February 2014)

February saw the release of 2014's first AIF game, Study Date by Karrek. It's been very postively received so in the unlikely event that you haven't played it yet, I encourage you to check it out. The game is being discussed (including links to the latest version) at the following locations:

Archer Fifteen has also announced that he has a new game in development, X-Men: Amnesia. You can find all the details at http://adultinteractivefiction.blogspot.com/2014/02/development-diary-x-men-amnesia.html. THK has also released an updated version of his 2012 game Another Friday Party 2.

On the technical side of things, Another Wannabe has released a new version of his AIF Toolkit extension for Inform 7. Details can be found at http://adultinteractivefiction.blogspot.com/2014/02/aif-toolkit-v052.html.

As far as this blog goes, there were thirteen posts in February, and the blog got 25,918 pageviews. Overlooked AIF Games 2 and the Study Date thread led the charge with more than a thousand pageviews each.

AIF Toolkit v0.5.2

AIF Toolkit v0.5.2 is released. For those of you that don't know, AIF Toolkit is a set of AIF extensions for Inform 7. It's a minor patch but should be backwards compatible. Download it here.

Click below for the list of changes.

AIF Toolkit v0.5.0 with Adult CYOA

EDIT: The new version is AIF Toolkit v 0.5.1. It fixes a pretty embarrassing and major bug. You should download it here.

AIF Toolkit v0.5.0 is released. There are a couple of major changes that break compatibility in a serious way, so it's recommended you save a backup of the prior version of Simpler AIF and Advanced Layered Clothing. Overall, it's worth it. Sex toys and non-standard body parts are now fully supported, in addition to tribadism, frotting, and other things. Read the documentation for more details.

As there are some major changes, I do expect some bugs and I ask that people submit bug reports if they find anything.

A few people have asked me for the extension I used to make Bad Sister with. I have released Adult CYOA with this extension that will allow you to make Bad Sister style games (meaning that it is CYOA with AIF commands). In truth, this extension is a lot better than what I used to make Bad Sister, so you will have a much easier time of it than I did.

To Twine users, you might consider using Adult CYOA. It's only marginally less user friendly, and in exchange, you get a far more flexible parser with tools that are a lot more powerful. You can simulate inventories and add special commands. You can even compile to a browser-friendly interpreter.

In the future, I'm going to try to publish a few tutorials on writing with Adult CYOA. Wait and see.

Anyways, you can download the new version here. [EDIT: Use the link above.]
