t 7 q

-Twist-up crayon quote: "Hold crayon and twist clear bottom end clockwise to extend crayon. To retract, twist counterclockwise."-

I never realized, before I started writing down my dreams, how very many dreams I had about mundane things. In the case of this week, I had at least one dream about what I was doing over the weekend... but more on that below.

Approximately right after last week's post, I went down a rabbit hole. What I mean by this is that I decided I wanted to sit down and make a complete text-based game from scratch.

While it was an exhilarating experience, it also took me out for 3 solid days. By solid, I mean I stopped pretty much only to eat (and one of those days I forgot breakfast).

Oh, and in case you're curious, the game is about a diplomat on a space station. There are ~5 different endings, 4 of which result in the protagonist's death. Most of these death endings are far more entertaining than the real ending, though I guess that's the case for most games...

Reality check. Also, it contains a domesticated bat. Also, loads of bugs. But try it for yourself: http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=ee9dcfd6333256ebe62ea590dc5e5dbbe04e75f6e8ebb871
