GBN: What happened?

Leave a Comment / GamebookNews.com /

GamebookNews.com was down for a few weeks – and now it looks weird! Yes – I know. Sadly, this website (among a bunch of others I had on the same shared webhost) got hacked and infected with some sort of malicious code. Luckily, I have a friend who was kind enough to help me backup […]

If winter is a time of dormancy, depressive disorders and rampaging White Walkers then it has also resulted in an inactive GBN. So first things first – sorry for this (we hope temporary) cessation of gamebook and interactive fiction goodness. It has not been caused by a sudden loss of interest in the likes of

Is GBN dead? Not quite. Since we did not receive the funding we wanted from Kulturrådet (Sweden), we have no means to pay writers, and hence update the pages. What about a Patreon then? That takes time to run as well. Sadly, the Patreon donation process is not as automatic as one wants it to

This feature is a departure from GBN’s usual content. It is not a newsbyte about a recent release of interactive fiction, nor a review of a gamebook author’s work. Rather it concerns something a bit more serious and markedly less fun: the very survival of Gamebook News.com. But first, some backstory! Recently, GBN applied for
