@KRISTIANSTILL, the #Quest hashtag is not (totally) relevant as I get a lot of unwanted tweets (quest is too generic I think)

I’ve just discovered Quest and I’m very impatient to create my first online story.
Great work !

Hi folks, anyone interested in #Quest for education please drop me an email or tweet.

We have a small but passion group and there is also a Twitter list. We are going with #Quest as the hashtag.

Hello Alex,
I too have been using Quest 5 but would rather work with the online version. When I follow your instructions and go to the create screen I am informed that the online version is currently in closed beta. Am I on the wrong page? Or have you not yet released the online tool? Please advise. I’m working on a game for a class and development time is crucial.
Thanks. Keep up the good work! Diane

Hi Alex if possible I would to try this new method of creating the graphic text adventure. I am currently creating one with quest 5. I have done about 12 rooms at the moment but I am interested in the way you have done this one with the room descriptions first. It seems more realistic to me. Also because I come from the old school with the Scott Adams era I do prefer the type more than the point and click, but it’s each to their own. So I hope you will contact me as where to go from here, I would be much obliged. By the by is there a way to move the command line under the finished text instead of it being static at the bottom of the page. Thanks a lot Terry.

Sounds like this will be a perfect starting platform for introducing people to the fun of writing your own text based games. Straight forward, simple interface but with the potential to add sooo much more when the authors mind opens up to grasp new possibilities… Brilliant.

Thank you for helping to spread this art form.

Almost – “use X on Y” will work.

There’s always a command-line alternative for anything that the GUI helps with – the left-drag and right-drag were just ways of automatically inserting “use X on Y” and “give X to Y”.

Normally I’d be going “but you must re-implement it! Backward compability! You’re breaking old games!” right about now, but if you’re thinking about an alternative, that’s good enough for me.

In that case, though, could you tell me of a foolproof way to use an item with another in such a way that a shoddyly programmed game would understand, if it were waiting for a point-and-click answer? Would, for instance, “use with ” work?
