Title of the adventure.

Short description of the adventure.

Name of the creator of the adventure.

Optional. Contact email of the author.

Optional. Support URL or author's website.

Version of the adventure.

The version of TextVentures in which this adventure will load. If this version and the version of the program do not match, the game will not load. The adventure maker should update the adventure accordingly.

The tag can contain only the major an minor version numbers of TextVentures, as these are the numbers that could change when an update to the adventure system is made.

Therefore, if we wanted to run an adventure for TextVentures version 1.2.3, then the compatible tag should be 1.2 in order to run in minor revisions (i.e. 1.2.4) as well.

First scenario of the adventure.

Available languages in which the player can play the adventure. Each lang tag represents a subdirectory of the adventure that contains the specified localized version (in the example there would be two directories "en" and "es", each with their translated adventure version).
