I write puzzle-centric / procedural games in Twine.

My new piece of IF, Plasmorphosis, is part of the #TwineSciFiJam! It's a small, puzzly game about a rover exploring a planet inhabited by amoeba-like creatures. Play it here: https://t.co/DRWMwyCMvT

After months of not doing anything IF-related, I'm excited to be working on a small project for a Twine game jam. Expect item-related puzzles and very strange creatures. My doodly cover art:

I found a tiny mushroom fortress in the forest.

@gd_cosmonaut For a game, it sure looks unique and interesting!

I've just released 4x4 Archipelago 1.2. Grab some perks and search for treasure underwater, then take on that ancient dragon! https://t.co/ttjQj0v7B3

@jfgibson73 Thank you! I'm not thinking about a commercial release for 4x4A, but I recently told a friend that if I ever make another text rpg this big, I'll consider making it commercial right from the start.

[Agnieszka @agat_writes]

So, yeah, I'm adding lootboxes to 4x4 Archipelago. BUT! They only cost in-game money and are only available to characters with Trading 2 (who, from my experience, in the current version end up with too much silver and nothing to spend it on).

[Agnieszka @agat_writes]

For a brief moment, I wanted to call this perk "Pay to Win", but the bonuses aren't really stronger than what you get from other perks. The best aspect of this one is flexibility.

[Agnieszka @agat_writes]

For those disappointed they couldn't do much with the stories you collected on different islands in 4x4 Archipelago, I've now added a new encounter which lets you challenge a famous bard to a storytelling duel and - who knows - maybe even win! (part of the big, upcoming update)

[Agnieszka @agat_writes]

Companion events are coming to 4x4 Archipelago! They are short, branching quests, unique to each of the hire-able allies. Depending on your choices, completing them may give you special items or permanently boost the companion; other times, the companion will leave you for good!

[Agnieszka @agat_writes]

@MathBrush And those people post the most consistently wholesome content I see on Twitter. Actually, IF is the reason I even have a Twitter account.

[Agnieszka @agat_writes]

@MathBrush Thanks for sharing! I've only discovered Terraria a short while ago, but I love it, and already have 100+ hours played. Not surprising, considering I'm into rpgs and procgen!

[Agnieszka @agat_writes]

Perks are coming to 4x4 Archipelago! They're permanent boosts with various effects – a new way to strengthen even advanced characters (and spend all those hard-earned experience points).

[Agnieszka @agat_writes]

With my new Twine game, The Bones of Rosalinda (https://t.co/D9GGMOXvqP) finally released in the Spring Thing festival, I now have time to work on the promised content update for 4x4 Archipelago. A sneak peek at some of the new items:

[Agnieszka @agat_writes]

@captainperson If you need any more help, the Hints and Walkthrough file in the download (or on itch) has progressive clues, in spoiler tags, for each puzzle!

[Agnieszka @agat_writes]

@captainperson This part actually requires cutting up the standard, but you'll also need one more item, and it's in a room only Piecrust can access.

[Spring Thing @SpringThingFest]

In case you missed it, a glorious bounty of interactive stories sprouted this week!
