Livestream of the Weave ZZT world "Jennifer Janowski is Doomed" by Anna Anthropy (2022)
(Due to technical difficulties, the game doesn't start proper until about 8 minutes into the video, though there is plenty of discussion had before then.)
17-year old Jennifer Janowski ventures into the abandoned Sallow house to obtain proof she was brave enough to enter. Can she escape with her life?
A Weave ZZT game! Using WiL's enhanced ZZT fork that tries to ease creative burdens when making ZZT Worlds without adding so much complexity as to make the medium unsuitable for beginners, Anna's short story game sees Jennifer explore dusty basements, dark caverns, underground rivers, and discover just what happened to Selma Sallow anyway.
Lots of playing with lighting effects as what were once torches can now be controlled by the player directly, and objects can determine if the lights are on, if they're in the lit space a player creates, and more.
Author Anna Anthropy joins us on mic to perform the characters' roles, discuss the details of the game, and show off some cut content!
