Graham Nelson has just released Inform 7. It’s a radically new frontend to the de facto standard of interactive fiction design tools, Inform.
The big difference? Instead of having to learn a special programming language, you can now use natural English sentences to describe your game to the computer. See the gallery for a walkthrough of its new features. It looks really impressive.
