> DESCRIBE THE MONK’S BREW

> DESCRIBE VESPERS
The monk clears his throat and begins: "Vespers is an adaptation of Jason Devlin's interactive fiction work of the same name. It is an experiment to discover what kind of horribly disfigured offspring might result from the mating of an IF engine with a 3D first-person graphics engine."
> DESCRIBE RUBES
The monk looks up from his mug and utters: "Rubes (Mike Rubin) is an indie game developer who started gaming with text adventures and this book, even before the heyday of the Apple ][. He's also the budding pioneer of a new genre in computer gaming, three-dimensional interactive fiction (3D/if). His first project in this genre is Vespers."

New Host, New Sites
For a little while now I’ve been setting up a website for Orange River Studio and Vespers, and I’ve reached the point where it’s pretty much ready to go live. But that also gave me the opportunity to switch from Blogger to WordPress for this blog, and after some testing I think it’s time to make the switch. So the new URL for The Monk’s Brew is now http://orangeriverstudio.com/monksbrew, although I’ve tried to set things up so that the feeds transfer over seamlessly. So there shouldn’t be any need to re-subscribe to the feed, and most links should transfer you over automatically. I’m still learning about this whole process, though, so I wouldn’t be surprised if I missed something. If anyone discovers this is the case, by all means let me know.
Although Blogger is nice, I’m really liking WordPress. I’m very impressed with how powerful it is, while still being very easy to learn and use.
The new web site for ORS and Vespers is just http://orangeriverstudio.com/, although http://vespers3d.com/ will also take you there. I had a lot of help creating the site, which was done with Joomla. There is definitely a learning curve with Joomla, but it’s beginning to grow on me.
It’s still very much a work in progress, and I’ll be filling in content as we go and giving updates and announcements about it from time to time. I’ll also have forums up and running soon, as we make more progress with the game. Any comments or suggestions for the site are welcome and appreciated!
