What's New at SmartMonsters?
Thank you kindly for asking!
Our Web site and our principal game,
TriadCity,
have each reached beta status. This means
they're increasingly ready for prime time, but not
quite. Many of their features are implemented, but
there's a lot left to come. Most things have been
tested, but not everything. Probably more than anything
else, this means we're not ready to offer more than
rudimentary customer support. Once we're ready with that,
we'll stop calling it "beta" Meanwhile, most
of the information we post here will be about TC, or
new features available on the site.
The What's New bulletin board is our forum for
keeping everyone informed of the latest news.
All are welcome to read these messages. If you
join you'll be welcome
to post responses here too: questions, answers, thoughts,
whatever. We hope this will be a helpful source of
information about our company and our games.

"[The] dominant of postmodernist fiction is ontological. That is, postmodernist fiction deploys strategies which engage and foreground questions like ... "Which world is this? What is to be done in it? Which of my selves is to do it?" Other typical postmodernist questions bear either on the ontology of the literary text itself or on the ontology of the world which it projects, for instance: What is a world?; What kinds of worlds are there, how are they constituted, and how do they differ?; What happens when different kinds of worlds are placed in confrontation, or when boundaries between worlds are violated?; What is the mode of existence of a text, and what is the mode of existence of the world (or worlds) it projects?; How is a projected world structured? And so on."
