: Would text and illustrations be enough to make it commercially viable, or do
: you think the flash of animation and/or digitized video would be needed?

Just like a good book the need for this could ruin the enjoyment. When you
read a good book the enjoyment you get from it comes from your vision of
the characters and scenery. This why the book is better than the movie. :-)

: And now to ask some advice: Those of you who create IF for computers, what
: tools do you use? Do you bash things out at first with something like a help
: file editor? Or do you use something like Hypercard, Director, or ToolBook? On
: the finished end of things, is something heavy duty called for, like C++ or can
: I get by with Delphi or Visual Basic?

Usually people here use inform and tads but I don't know how these will
work for you idea.
