Fallen London's New Hat

Fallen London has a new hat: an attractive amber bar at the top of the screen. What's that about?

We've been talking about StoryNexus for a while, and this is its first peek into the light of day. Your Fallen London login (whether email, Twitter or Facebook) is now a StoryNexus login. No functionality has changed or disappeared on Fallen London, and we won't be doing anything different or intrusive with your data. All it means is that the same login will now let you play all the storygames on the StoryNexus platform, without needing to register or log in separately.

Fallen London's moved to fallenlondon.storynexus.com - but www.fallenlondon.com will still take you there.

So what other games will you be able to play? Well, CABINET NOIR, a dark tale of spycraft in Richelieu's Paris, is very, very close now. And of course there is THE SILVER TREE, a Fallen London prequel of sorts, set at the crossroads of the world. You may have seen the Kickstarter. Also incoming this Autumn:

  • FADE TO BLACK: an experiment in morality from S John Ross, set in his Grave of Heaven world
  • WINTERSTRIKE: an adventure of planetary romance, from Yoon Ha Lee: "Winter-locked city. Cold guns. Starship carcasses. And now, you."
  • LARKLAND: a magic-realist tale of a place that isn't, from Katherine Morayati.
  • THE DOWNSIDE: a tangle of viscerally intelligent horror from SL Grey, set in the world of The Mall and The Ward


Besides these, we have some extremely promising user-created worlds in development from the closed beta of StoryNexus: gunslinging steampunks, wry superheroics, evolution as story, post-apocalyptic fantasy and more. You can get a preview of what people are working on in the playtesting threads here: http://community.failbettergames.com/forum17-storynexus.aspx

Of course what many of you want to know is, WHERE ARE THE CREATOR TOOLS? Well, sign up here, if you haven't already, and we'll see what we can do. (Psst. How does next week sound?)
