What they say

"All those weirdly arranged parentheses, and semi-colons and strange curlicues hanging out in the middle of blank lines. Impossible. But when I looked at Alan I saw the light or, at least, English."

Eric Mayer

"Another thing I'm sure of, the game will again be in Alan."

Eric Mayer

"If I was to write a new text adventure I wouldn't bother with any other authoring system. Alan is just that much easier."

Felix Pleșoianu

"Man, I just finished programming a little game with Alan, and let me tell you ALAN RULES!! It's so simple, *I* can program with it."

Rob Anderson

"Well, it was very easy to learn and it's easy to do stuff in it."

Mikko Vuorinen

"I think it's the best IF language I've ever seen - and I *am* a programmer."

Andrew Heale

         

Looking for v2?

Alan V2 is very obsolete. Use Alan v3 instead. But you can still visit the obsolete v2 information and downloads here.
