A good starting point for that would be http://www-cs-students.stanford.edu/~amitp/gameprog.html#adv - or maybe, if you're interested in the prose more than the scaffolding, https://www.ifarchive.org/if-archive/books/IFTheoryBook.pdf

There's also the recently published "50 Years of Text Games" (https://if50.textories.com/)

That last book looks interesting but I would love if it was available on Amazon, or somewhere more international, usually other places don't deliver correctly on my country. :/

You can read the [50 Years of Text Games](https://if50.substack.com/archive) newsletter that preceded the book. I highly recommend it!

Hello, I am making a text-based based game. Part text adventure, part something else and I am jumping at opportunity to build a community of "testers". Can I email you ?

Check intfiction.org!

Thank you !

Also, Slashem/Nethack and so on, but these are characters for the simulated dungeon content plus text based for everything else.
