man if you're a musician/author/developer and you spend years producing an album/book/game it'd be a shame to then append cover art that screams "hey, I didn't put any effort into this thing I made!", putting on the same level as a flyer for Ladies' Wrasslin' night at the redneck bar

My book is pretty negative about videogames in general,but I have a lot of great things to say about Hypnospace. It's an amazing piece of art. "Y2K--you let me down," is basically a summary of the book, which is why I used it for the epigraph.

The Sea of Eden is filled with ultimate intelligence. You can't go there unless you're truly ready. It's a place where you can touch the truth of the universe. Going there may bring sorrow.

usually when i hear people say that the moon is a planet, i just have to shake my head. like, yes, if it’s a full moon? okay. you’ve got me there. a full moon is a circle and therefore a planet. outside of that, though, a planet either has to be a circle, like jupiter, or a dot, like stars

i procrastinated the hypertext dialogue and event scripting systems for like a month and i'm more-or-less finished with both after only 10 days of work. i'll likely not learn any lessons from this.

finished the hypertext dialogue system for my new game! it's my attempt at striking a balance between a geocities page and a dialogue box. works well with a controller too! i know browser/IF/twine games have done this for 1000 years, but have there been any examples of it used as a dialogue system?
