Here's one for the Wikigamers (the fearless gamesblog readers who boldly created our own Spaceship! game last year) - and anyone else who loves text adventures: the classic, epic Zork has been transformed into Legends of Zork, a browser-based adventure game inspired by the original classic. For those who've played through Spaceship!, you may recognise at least a few nods in the direction of this game

The Guardian's home-grown computer game, Spaceship!, made its first public outing at Brighton's £5 App event on Wednesday. Barry Tucker (coder extraordinaire) and I presented it to the crowd, describing the why, the how and the who. It was quite an event, with Spaceship! posters of many flavours (get yours at Barry's site, along with other Spaceship! goodies!) and people clambering to get their own copies on USB to take home. Check out our slide deck here

Buried in last week's excitable announcement about the alpha release of Spaceship!, the gamesblog's own-developed text adventure game, was a competition for copies of Mirrors Edge, the stylish Xbox 360 and PS3 parkour game. I expect many didn't see it, 'cause we've only received a few entries (thanks to those who've sent theirs in). And it's such a simple way to win a game!

As you know, production of The Guardian's home-brewed text adventure Spaceship! is winding down, with the aim of launching at an event in Brighton the second week of December. To launch in style, we need some shiny Cover Art, and we'd like to extend the the offer to you, dear readership

Earlier this year, an intrepid team of novice and indie developers from The Guardian's gamesblog community started work on a new kind of game project: a collaboratively-designed text adventure. The aim was to generate a playable product using social media tools in three months, and while we may have overstepped the deadline slightly, I'd like to announce that Spaceship!, a game with so many people's fingerprints on it, has reached alpha

Lest you think the Wikigame project has disappeared, I am here to assure you that we are sturdily beavering away behind the scenes, and next week you will have the next phase of the demo for you to play with and pick apart

Last week's Barcamp Brighton was a blast, and as we posted on Friday, we demo'd the new Spaceship! build: more levels, more rooms, more puzzles, more fun!

The gamesblog-designed text adventure arrives.

We've got a new demo, plus we need your words to end our main character's life. Oh, and want to play the game first? Come test for us!

The gamesblog community's game demo is playable.

This week's update on the great Spaceship! wikigame

Guns and chairs.

It's time to flesh out the Wikigame's Rec Room and Canteen. Calling all objects!

Looking for creative types with five minutes of Friday time to describe these rooms in our collaborative design project, Spaceship!

It's design crunch time: help describe the Escape Pod and the Rec Room!

It's decision time for the Wikigamers.

Our Wii and BoomBlox winner is wikigamer Perrin, for his superb puzzle entry, 'Escape Pod'. Now it's your turn: send us yours favourite sci-fi trivia!
