New Pinned post. Old Navigation Post.

Hi, I'm Manon. And I create Interactive Fiction for fun. Sometimes in French, sometimes in English, and in both when I can. Currently a dozen playable games in various state and free templates and guides.

I post weekly dev logs about my project progress. I also write reviews of IF games (@manonamora-if-reviews).

I also made a whole resource list for Twine (guide, macro, templates).

Ask me stuff about stuff :P

If I'm not there, I'm also in a bunch of other places (cause nothing is forever with social media), where I'll post updates about stuff. I also have a carrd about this. But really, I'm usually most on the IntFiction forum or the @neointeractives Discord.

Website: on neocities (i'm trying to set up a RSS feed)

Blog: manonamora (WordPress)

itch.io: manonamora

Cohost: manonamora

Mastodon: manonamora (on gamedev)

Pillowfort: manonamora (IF group)

Discord: I'm on a bunch of different IF-related servers, if you see a manonamora with this icon, it's probably me. 🤫

Note: not all links above are as active as here currently, but they will start to be more from now on, because I don't want to rely on one place only to share news. This was always going to happen, but now it's concrete.

My IF games are playable on itch.io, listed on the IFDB (for reviews), with some backed up in the IFArchive. I sometimes post code on GitHub.

Other Tumblrs: @crimsonroseandwhitelily (sideblog IF), @neointeractives, @neo-twiny-jam, @seedcomp-if

Since 2021, I've released a dozen of projects or WIPs, most of those being Interactive Fiction pieces. While the majority have been made with Twine (SugarCube), I've been testing other formats and programs.

I've also created templates and coding guides for SugarCube, as well as prompts. Both templates and prompts are free to use under the CC-BY license.

All projects and relevant links are listed under the cut.

I ate a full tub of ice cream today. I don't even feel guilty about it. It was delicious.

[ID: another ask from manonamora-if saying "WAIT This was supposed to be an anonymous thing? Oh fuck it. Never mind. I have no shame." /end ID]

Responding to this post

Brilliant, Manon! You should not feel any guilt or shame for that! Glad you're already there mentally ❤️

What ice cream was it, by the way? (I mean, I know what it definitely wasn't 😉)

I present you: the "Tex Mex"-style Pizza.

Here’s the thing, my partner doesn’t like the stuff on here (no Mexican or any variations). I mean he would eat corn on pizza in a non Tex Mex way. Is that still acceptable to you???

#not if related #pizza debate #corn???? #manonamora-if

Happy Halloween! I think you'd vibe with this short game.

thank you manon!! happy (belated now) halloween to you too!

i read thru this game last night but i explored a few more choices this morning :-) very interesting!!! i do enjoy the idea of mods & even mobility aids & service equipment being an extension of a person's expression and presentation.

thank you for sharing!! 🧡

#i liked it... #the first time i didnt press them at all and just speed ran the interview cus i didnt want to be rude LOL #also im not sure if service equipment is the correct word but im also not sure what else to call them mdnfjk #i definitely have a wip on the backburner that has similar themes with two trans characters #<- is predictable #ask #manonamora-if

#thank you manon ❤️🫂 #ask #manonamora-if

[zorlok-if]

Seriously, you have nothing to apologize for. Real life should always take precedence. We would rather wait months and months and know you are ok rather than seeing you push your limits to get something out.

Good luck on your exams!

Thank you so much Manon 🥹❤️

#thank you ❤️ #you're so kind and wonderful #*big hugs* #manonamora-if
