Goals

The goal of the Crate Game Engine is to bring forward the art of interactive fiction by about two decades. The current state of the art in interactive fiction exists with text based game engines such as Inform. The Crate Game Engine will allow even novice users to create graphical interactive fiction easily. The specific goals are:

  1. Novice user can create a game within 1 day
  2. Experienced user can update an episodic game within 2 hours
  3. Textual descriptions of environment are primary, graphics secondary
  4. Free movement throughout a location and between locations is possible
  5. Game elements are customizable with scripts
  6. Modular display engine to allow multiple ways of displaying game state
  7. Possible future multiuser interactive fiction capability
