The months may be growing warmer (in the Northern Hemisphere at least) and the nights are getting lighter, but there is still plenty of material in this latest update to keep you going if your thoughts do turn to text adventures.

Looking for a summer holiday read? Shaun McClure has just released his latest text adventure book How to Design Adventure Games. You can pick up a copy through sites such as Amazon. If that wasn't enough, Mark Hardisty has released another issue of his The Classic Adventurer magazine featuring interviews with authors such as Geoffrey Larsen (or Larsoft), Richard Hewison, and Steve Maltz.

Mark's magazine also mentions the sad news that Quill adventure system author Graeme Yeandle passed away in January 2025 at the age of 70. Graeme's work on The Quill, which was also incorporated into later systems such as the PAW, SWAN and DAAD, shaped the homegrown adventure scene in the UK and beyond. He produced tools that empowered a whole generation of authors (who might never otherwise have written a game) and the works they created have provided (and continue to provide) thousands of hours of entertainment and joy for lovers of text adventures worldwide. A legacy to be proud of.

Thanks to our users we have had another great month full of new contributions to the site. If you're looking for audio-based inspiration of what to play next then why not check out some of the games our friends at The Retro Adventurers Podcast have been playing recently? Or if you prefer your recommendations to come in text form, you can get plenty of ideas from the list of titles that Jason Dyer is playing through as part of his All the Adventures project.

With this first update of the year I'm happy to annouce that we're slowly making various updates to the site. For instance, enhancing the mobile version and making the synopsis (ie. plot) part of the game description more visible. There's more to come so stay tuned.
