ADRIFT - Interactive Fiction Toolkit

Publisher's Description

From Campbell Wild:

ADRIFT Developer is a Windows application that allows you to create complex interactive fiction games quickly and easily. It allows you to concentrate on the story by making everything else easy, such as having all options available in dropdown lists, rather than you having to spend a lot of time just trying to figure out how to code the game. Games in ADRIFT are created by adding locations, objects, characters and tasks. These can be organised into folders, allowing you to group things together in a logical manner. Layouts can be created quickly and easily using the 3D map, allowing you to drag, rotate, resize and manipulate rooms to fit your requirements.

What's new in this version: Version 5.0.30 includes built-in help, private properties, property descriptions and an improved task menu, along with many bug fixes.

"An easy to use IF developer with lots of potential"

January 16, 2012 | By Po-Prune

Version: ADRIFT - Interactive Fiction Toolkit 5.0.22

Pros
Easy to create your own IF. You don't have to learn code but can almost go right ahead and create your game.
Once you get the hang of it, this is a great tool with graphich and sound options.
When your game is ready, you can save it as an .exe file or as a blorb.

Cons
Can be a little tricky to get started with.
Some commands are not all that clear.
At the time of writing 16/1-2012 The manual isn't all that clear.

Summary
Absolutely worth a try. I've been happy with it.
