Anyway. More games should be short stories! But that can’t happen unless we are accepting of that form - otherwise the form dies, replaced by longer forms that require more capital investment to make. Like happened in scifi. Guess who benefited from that

Old Man Terrapin stood blinking sleepily,
when Rooster came with a yell:
“Good morning!” called he, a little too loud,
for Terrapin hid in his shell.
Animated in @procreate.

RE that RT.. it’s wild how steam reviews are still so damn important to getting visibility. If you play and like indie games, the most generous and helpful thing you can do is spend an hour popping positive reviews onto anything you like with <500 or so reviews.

We don't know. What we do know is the wiring diagram works. We built it, virtually, in @godotengine.org. We fed it scans of the books we found.
And the books are very, very strange. The "game" that resulted is also strange.
We're hoping people can make sense of it for us.
