Graphic Adventure Sale on Humble Store

I clicked on an email notification for the Humble Store that was slightly misleading: "Choose Your Own Adventure Bundle," thinking it would have discounts on some Choice of Games (which are already ridiculously reasonably-priced) or things like 80 Days (which I already own, but I was interested to see a current discount price.)  On the site it's actually "Build Your Own Adventure Bundle" of graphical adventures which makes more sense.

Humble is offering some wonderful classic and remastered adventure games for a few dollars each. If you haven't experienced some of these in the past, it's well worth checking out, especially for Broken Age, and remastered versions of Grim Fandango and the original Gabriel Knight.  All of these on offer are available for Mac and Windows, several are available for Linux, and Broken Sword 5 also offers an Android port.

--Edited to add:  This sale will end on the 12th or 13th of June by my rough estimation, based on your time zone.  Countdown clocks are on each game on the website.

Matt also comments below that you can get 80 Days as well as other Inkle games, and Cibele, and Her Story among others in the Humble Narrative Bundle which is still on for four more days which is an excellent deal where you choose your own price for the entire lot.  This ends approximately June 14th based on your time zone.

    80 Days is currently part of the Humble Narrative Bundle, for 4 more days, along with Her Story, Cibele, Broken Age, and Sorcery 1&2.

    Those are all great, and probably a notch closer to the non-graphic IF community with the Inkle games and Cibele and Her Story.

AXMA Story Maker 5

I've long been a fan of AXMA Story Maker , a Russian-developed hypertext choice narrative engine that is very similar to Twine. I used an early version to write Devil's Food , a speed-Ectocomp entry in three hours. AXMA is now up to version 5, and despite its relative obscurity with English-speaking IF authors, there's a whole lot here to like. AXMA offers an easy alternative for those who want to write a choice-narrative, but, like me, may find Twine's nearly unlimited modifiable adaptability a little bewildering. First off, AXMA is technically a free app with a "professional version" that lists for €29.90 via PayPal (but as of this writing is marked down to €19.90, approximately $22 USD) which is not a bad deal. The free version is unlimited to use, disabling only direct HTML export (all games can be uploaded to and are hosted by AXMA's public library for online play or download). Upgrading for the one-time fee doesn't change the software, but unlo

ChoiceScript is a very easy language to write in. It is how all Choice of Games narratives are created. It is simple, powerful, and lets an author do more writing than coding to create an extensive choice narrative that can hinge on the powerful accumulation of stats that bend and alter the story and an individual player's game experience. Right now, CoG publication is probably one of the most accessible and visible ways for choice-IF authors to actually get a game out to the public and get paid for it. Choice of Games commissions talented authors for their featured stories that fit within their specific inclusive "house style" framework they are known for and their audience expects, but anyone can submit an "indie" spec game to be hosted by CoG as long as it complies with a certain number of minimally sensible parameters with regard to length and content. That said, writing a CS narrative that fans will want to play and shell out a few dollars for is an e
