Posted a review of Intragalactic by Steph Cherrywell on my blog. Read it here.

tl;dr – Not that good

[prokopetz]

You know how some people take in media at a young age where the creator’s barely disguised fetish ends up being a formative influence for them?

I basically had the opposite of that experience.

There were about three different webcomics I followed religiously as a teenager whose creators were, like, super into vore, and not only did I not acquire the fetish myself, I straight up did not notice the subtext until decades later, when something would remind me of one of those comics, and recalling what it was like with the benefit of what I know now, I’d be like “hey, wait a minute”.

Crème de la Crème wins XYZZY Awards (so we’re putting it on sale)

On Wednesday, Crème de la Crème by Hannah Powell-Smith won the annual XYZZY Awards, winning in the “Best Game,” “Best Writing,” and “Best Story” categories. (“Best Game” was a tie with Zozzled by Steph Cherrywell; “Best Story” was a tie with Turandot by Victor Gijsbers.)

To celebrate, we’re putting Crème de la Crème on sale! It’s 30% off until October 9 on Steam, iOS, Android, and on our website.

The XYZZY Awards celebrate the best interactive fiction of the previous year, and is decided by popular vote among the interactive fiction community. We’re extremely grateful to the entire community for this extraordinary recognition. This is a great honor for Hannah Powell-Smith and everyone who worked on the game, including managing editor Abigail C. Trevor, artist Paola Tuazon, and copy editor Kris Ligman, as well as the dozens of people who helped with beta testing.

Crème de la Crème has earned the highest honor from the interactive fiction community, and we are so, so, grateful for that.

It’s IFCOMP, the annual interactive fiction competition and I have a new game! It’s Basilica de Sangre!

What's a demon to do? Your mother has been missing for weeks. Rumor has it that she's being held prisoner in the infamous convent Basilica de Sangre. They say no demon has ever escaped from Basilica de Sangre. That's not encouraging. But you're going to find her and rescue her, no matter how many nuns you have to possess!

Special thanks to Steph Cherrywell, Norman Rafferty, Vince Shamwow, and Sarah Adams for playtesting and to Davy B for additional coding and problem solving! Basilica de Sangre is written in the Quest system and requires installed Quest software (available for free at http://textadventures.co.uk/quest) to run.

You can play the game (as well as many others) and vote for your faves at https://ifcomp.org/ballot

280 – A Game for a New Decade

This game was terrible, I think everyone hated this. Everyone hates those things where you just hit the joystick toward the flashing yellow bit.

One of them is apparently called "Steph Cherrywell" and the other two devolved into Q shit and should not have engagement according to the notes on the original post.
