Yup, I resumed work on Cascadia Quest again a few months ago! I'm hoping I'll be able to release it this year.

Here's me totally screwing around within the first 20minutes of importing the model into Godot. I love these clouds but obviously they can't be in every level, lol.

Tried to turn off copilot autosuggest because it just provides random garbage suggestions, and it suggested that copilot might not actually be installed (as I'm chatting with it).

"Things Left Behind", personal piece from 2019 or so. I'm always trying to remind myself to save some time for personal work like this, but I haven't been terribly effective at doing so.

I've been working on finishing Antenna Dilemma, a game I started in... 2019. ๐Ÿ˜…

It's so old that it even has a prologue page on Steam.
You can try the first chapter there for free!

What other classic computers merit inclusion in Cascadia Quest?

I've always loved the title screen of the first Space Quest game (also the first #adventuregame I ever played). So I figured I'd recreate it in #blender and animate it.

Highlights:

- A new Fan Games section (wiw.org/~jess/fangam...)

- A new Videos section (wiw.org/~jess/videos...)

- A new Publications section (wiw.org/~jess/public...)

I'm especially excited about the last one, a collection of all things "SQ in print," from strategy guides to reviews to ads.

how wonderful to have a section of your source code which is fully legible sprite data

I've started working on a fan game based around the Quest for Glory series set around Erasmus' house in the original EGA game. I'm planning on use the same engine (SCI0) and I'm wondering if anyone would like to help make some art and rooms for this game. Happy to share my concept so far.
