I've just about completed the first version of my IFComp entry. I suspect it's not very polished, and that people familiar with Inform 7 or parser games in general will be able to detect its flaws and omissions easily. That makes me uncomfortable, but my ability to tolerate discomfort with lack of perfection has grown by leaps and bounds. I once submitted a cake for a cake contest that made me so miserable, you don't even know.

Anyway, I'll be messing with the game more tomorrow, and then the say after tomorrow is my pre-surgery. I feel like September will end up being another low to no progress month. But maybe it only feels like I'm making no progress.

Apparently I write parser fiction now.

I'm using Inform 7 and thinking about IFComp. And having fun.
