Found out today that 'miscellany' is the correct word, and not 'miscellania', which is an island in RuneScape

It comes with its own stand but I haven't built that yet because I got too excited that ALL THE BUTTONS WORK

I actually pulled back from submitting this game to IF Comp multiple years running, just because I was so nervous about it not being good enough.

So the fact I even finished and submitted it, let alone received some nice comments and positive placement in the competition, is a great feeling ๐Ÿ˜

The Promises of Mars by George Larkwright A choice-based post-apocalyptic mystery game

Bit late to share this, but this year I submitted a game to @ifcomp.org โ€” and despite a lack of confidence in my entry, came in 15th place!

The Promises of Mars is a post-apocalyptic mystery game. Explore an abandoned world, solve puzzles, save humanity?

Playing Baldur's Gate 3 multiplayer is great fun until the party reaches an area with merchants; then it becomes a 'waiting for your mum at the mall' simulator

On the way back from Milan I told the plane crew it was my birthday and they let me visit the cockpit, best birthday ever ๐Ÿคฉ

In Italy for a wedding and I'm utterly transfixed by how beautiful this village is ๐Ÿ˜

Needless to say, I will not be submitting to IFComp this year because of this stupid stupid map (and my own inability to manage scope and deadlines but mainly the map)

This should be the norm across the board. AI is a tool, not a replacement.

Probably shouldn't have added an interactive map to my twine game the day before IFComp submissions are due but here we are ๐Ÿ™ƒ
