I'm most partial to Option 2 and 4, erring on 4. I like Thorn a lot and the world was eerie and cool

A choose your own adventure book. There are a whole bunch of player aids as well that help you run the game and a number of tutorials to watch a live play of it. It's my pride and joy and a personal labor of love.

Hello! The game that I'm really proud of is Inscribed: Heartstealer (although my recently released game, WAR/PATH is more presentable).

You're an animal knight that's had their heart stolen by a devil and you have to get it back before time runs out. Plays a lot like Slay the Spire mixed with

Jesus Christ, I haven't felt so enthralled with a game like Mewgenics since I booted up a pirated copy of Binding of Isaac on my laptop in high school. It's simple joyous fun. I'm having an absolute blast and I'm only on the 3rd run!

Today's work was something I probably should have done a long time ago, implemented a main menu! Lot of time spent on making sure it could actually start a new game properly and linking the opening scene to first gameplay scene.

Progress!

Happy #ZineMonth / #ZiMo26!

Are you working on a project? I want to hear about it.

Use this as your soapbox.

Overview and then rule dump. After the rule dump though, or split up into sections, an example of what you're talking about would be great. I've always found examples of play to be useful in modeling my play behavior to (like training wheels) before I get to the real thing in my own game.
