Calypsis: A Hypertext Fiction
CALYPSIS: A HYPERTEXT FICTION is based on a role-playing campaign featuring nine participants (seven player-characters and two game masters) that took place in three stages: world building, character creation, and a series of six role-playing sessions, mostly conducted online but also over email and a few face-to-face gatherings. These game narratives accompany each vignette, a storytelling segment derived from the game play. Calypsis was a creative PhD dissertation, accompanied by a critical introduction.

The Hunt For The Gay Planet
anna anthropy’s The Hunt for the Gay Planet is a text-based Twine game that uses the medium of Twine to comment more broadly and bitingly on the status of queer representation in videogames. The work takes its premise from a mainstream online roleplaying game, Bioware’s Star Wars: The Old Republic, which in 2013 announced they were expanding their romance options in-game to include homosexual options, but only on a single planet in the galaxy. anthropy satirizes this decision with this beautifully retro piece, in which the player is invited to gradually explore the galaxy (looking under rocks and in caves) in search of a lesbian romance. The game serves as a powerful example of Twine’s potential as a platform for commenting on and engaging with AAA gaming, as Twine builds on the traditions of hypertext to allow for complex decision management and choice-driven experience design.
