Palette Town is a hypertext poetry piece originally developed as an installation for the group show Hello Neighbor, which was held at Dadalab↗ in Austin, TX in November, 2019. Since players at the event could arrive at or depart from the computer running the piece at any time, the site was designed to be a closed loop with no specific start or end point. After the show, I initially released the game exclusively on the peer to peer web, seeding a dat:// address from the Beaker Browser↗ on my personal computer. But after a public reading of the site at DWeb Camp 2023↗, I was convinced to release it here on the clearweb. Please choose to dive in wherever you'd like:
Additionally, you may check out the Readme for some suggestions on musical accompaniment. There is also PaletteTown.png, which shows a sitemap of the piece, a screenshot from the Twine mapping during production.
