(i was activated a week ago, but i finally get to make a proper intro post now that i'm at a desktop! have you tried writing long posts with markdown on a phone? you shouldn't)

hello! i'm alex / rabbit / wisprabbit. i make puzzles and interactive fiction, i'm very quiet and i keep myself to myself, and i was once told by a novelty Parappa the Rapper account that my posting is awful.

here is what i am responsible for:

interactive fiction

i make interactive fiction, with an interest in parser-based text adventures. when i say i make interactive fiction, i mean that i have made one: Vampire Ltd, a short text adventure in which you are a vampire committing corporate espionage on another vampire. i have another one in the works which i'm hoping to submit to IFComp 2022.

i've also reviewed a few works of interactive fiction. most of them exist on a WordPress site, with a few more in a private subforum of the IntFiction forum which I never bothered to make public. i am considering posting future reviews here, and really making it impossible to find anything i've written.

games

Vampire Ltd is playable somewhere on my itch.io page, along with an earlier vampire game which i reused the best jokes from and a prototype DROD-like puzzler which i wanna remake and build on someday.

speaking of DROD, i also had a hand in playtesting and marketing Erik Hermansen's newer puzzle game The Godkiller - Chapter 1. if you like top-down puzzlers, it would be cool of you to buy it and play it and buy a hundred more copies for your friends.

puzzles

i make japanese-style logic puzzles and cryptic crosswords. they rarely do significant numbers, but that's okay, i enjoy making them. i post a new one to my twitter account every wednesday, or probably thursday if you live far enough ahead of time. i usually post logic puzzles, though i'm trying to do a cryptic crossword on the last wednesday of every month.

my older puzzles can be found in this twitter thread, and my newer puzzles can be found with this twitter hashtag. if you want just the logic puzzles, they get automatically collected in the puzz.link database (and you can filter for puzzle types and difficulty there as well). all the crosswords are posted on crosshare.

okay that's it

i don't know what i'm going to use cohost for yet but i have some ideas. maybe puzzle compilations, maybe interactive fiction reviews or other if projects. probably even worse posts than the character limit on twitter allows. but first, i gotta learn some css.

i can officially post as of 5-7 minutes ago

everyone give a warm cohost welcome to the 250 new coposters who just got activated

I'm Dzuk, a big queer orc living in the Brighton area of the UK. I have for a good many years been specialising in making emoji and emoji-like vector illustrations and I made Mutant Standard, a project that tries to make standard emoji more queer, more furry and more fun. (Mutant Standard's website is really outdated, I am working on an update in the coming months!)

I'm finding myself in a transitional period in my life, wanting to get back to dreams of doing illustration, so I'll eventually start posting things in that direction over time as well ^^.

Probably will be other things too, life is weird right now! Hi.
