Today is the last day to nominate ribbons for the Spring Thing Festival of Interactive Fiction.
There's still time to play/nominate some games!
#SpringThing2023
I did a short Q&A with Amanda Walker about my I7 game "Repeat the Ending" over at intfic. Very happy/flattered that she asked. Link below. Interested in playing Spring Thing games or nominating them for ribbons? Follow the links in the reply. 🧵

Did I mention that I was writing an Inform 7 game? Well, it's loose in the world! It's weird, self-referential, and a little ridiculous.
Blurb:
"Explore the critical edition of a forgotten 1996 Inform 5 game about loss, mental illness, and the second law of thermodynamics."

That's not all! There are a ton of cool Spring Thing games you can play right now.
The Spring Thing Festival of Interactive Fiction begins today! Come play some swell community-made IF of varied subject matter. Choice and parser formats.
Spring Thing countdown:
After leaving my game alone for several days, I have returned for some final checks. Thoughts:
- There is so much text! I find something to hone or economize every time I open the project.
- This game is really, really not going to be for everyone.
- I will be glad to have this game submitted; at long last I won't be able to tinker with it.
Games are due Sunday before midnight, local time.
So #InteractiveFiction people. Who's entering #SpringThing2023 ? What's your game about?
The Spring Thing Festival of Interactive Fiction website is live with 2023 dates!
