A. Working name of Game
Twen Tythreen: In finity

B. Technology behind the game.
PHP 5
SQLite
If there ever is desktop client:
C# with Mono
SQLite

C: Story
Multitude of stories from perspective of different characters with only one common trait they all share – they know there is more to this world than just physical.

D: Some features
Multiple stories
Multiple distinct characters
Text based puzzles
Mystic, Adventures
Multiple ways for story to expand

It’s nothing complicated or interesting and something very complicated and rewarding at the same time. If getting to know characters and their stories from short pieces of text entries following each other where they play with Your mind, can draw You in, this could be for You, otherwise – it’s something very frustrating.
You receive mystical email containing only single link, which lead You to page with short paragraph of text.
That link is http://somedomain/change-this-to-find-out-more
And from that point You are on Your own to unveil the story’s by figuring out how could next post be called.
Every previous post contains hints for name of next. Deciphering them based on writers traits and worldview is the key to progress further. But don’t overestimate Your progress – this is battle between Your mind and mind of writer. Where You have come may be dead end or trap put on Your path, to fool You by Your own expectations, fears, ego or dogmas. Truth is somewhere in-between.

Talk about a form of synchronicity.
We both posted nearly together in time with similar ending of titles. ;)

Good luck.

Update of week #0 (*-13.01.2013)

*Built base for actual process of getting to next bit of story. Crappy idea of forcing person to change actual link was replaced with writing terms in always focused search field – easier, more self-explanatory model.
*Built bad looking base for actual design, which probably will not get any better :D
*Progress counting system works (for the current model)
*Showing shortcuts for 4 most used phrases added (to at least somehow support people who doesn’t want to try to figure out themselves)
*Added support for counting actual input phrases to support updating story by expectations of players (commonly used phrases)
*Password-less user management (if You always use same browser and don’t delete cookies, You are lucky to be ready in 0 sec)
*Restricted access for standards not compliant browsers: all IE
*Restricted access for “DbD” devices: Mac OS family (including iDevices)

Expected next week:

*One phrase pointing to other
*Storing and using parameters
*Bits of story available only if bits x ad z have been unlocked
