Loveshack Entertainment. Framed Adds a Graphic Dimension to Interactive Fiction (video) Interactive fiction, whether text-based games like Zorg or Choose Your Own Adventure style apps like Versu, has been around for decades. But in all that time the interactive component has always involved text more than images. Framed is going to change that. Framed is a project by Australia-based Loveshack Entertainment that puts the player in the role of a narrator. Unlike past interactive fiction that lets the reader make choices, in Framed creates a narrative by rearranging a set of panels from a comic. Each panel represents a part of a scene, and by changing the order one can change the events and create a new outcome. For example, in the demo video above the protagonist dies at the hands of a villain.
According to the developers, Framed grew from a simple question. Now it would look like Framed, but that wasn’t how Boggs had originally conceived it. The game is still under development, and is months away from release. source. Interactive fiction. Interactive Fiction: Playing, Studying and Writing Text Adventure Games (Dennis G.
