Whoa, first post in a long while. Yeah, we've been surviving, that's what's been taking so long.

Recently you guys may have seen that I've been yapping a lot about my recent text adventure phase, it's been hitting really strongly as of now. I just always feel like IF games are this big wide open canvas to let out all my creative juices without having to take extra time to draw graphics and such; even though I COULD if I wanted to, to me it just always seems like there's more to be had in one's own imagination when you put it into written words rather than wrestling yourself to make a picture look like a picture and not like something an aging turtle did (haha, dark humor :P )

In light of my habit of posting a teaser for an upcoming IF by me that totally most definitely doesn't become vaporware for a year or so until I realize "oh hey I had this going might as well add to it", I wanted to know your thoughts about the works by me you guys have seen. I know I should have placed more screenshots of my work in my album or my blog but, as I've said, when your schedule is changed to "holy crap don't starve today", there's only so much you can do.

I glanced at your posts. Did you write the engine yourself and how do you design the game world?
