Meet the Heroes of Outpost 157: Characters Overview

Hey All, here is my first most regarding my Inform 7 interactive fiction project, called Outpost 157. Well in reality it’s going to be more than an Inform project. I’ve decided to tie it into Journeys of Tara creative writing project.

Although, I’m not exactly sure yet, of how the story will unfold. The Inform project is combination of a creative writing piece, as well as a survival text based game. That being said, it’s close to a choose your own adventure book.

However, as strictly a creative writing piece I will have to make it one interesting “On the Fly” writing project to keep it interesting. No worries though, I will come up with something cool. Anyways, the Gallery below is the supporting characters in Outpost 157. Naturally Inform 7 is a very complex rule based platform. Natively, there isn’t support for images… therefore I took advantage of Stable Diffusion to generate the character images.

Images for Outpost 157’s layout out will be coming soon. As well as the Main characters images, and perhaps a little plot information. But that may be a little later.
