Hello all.

I have just finished my second full-fat-for-real videogame. It is called "The 2030 Proto-Interfacer's Guide to House-Oriented Emotional Exploration (For Mbtzl)".

It is the 2x reanimated corpse of what I was supposed to make for Glorious Trainwrecks' 2019 Sekret Santa event for Mbtzl (who I'm not even sure if they're still around), but didn't because I foolishly joined in before I had any experience with making games. It originally was going to be an "Advanced Guard" Bomberman semi-cy-clone, with live sports commentary and deeply upsetting "RNG" influence, that was built out of another failed attempt at an RPG from earlier in 2019. It then became whatever this is, over the course of the next two years after picking it back up around October 2021.

It is strange as a gift. But this really is the same game as I was making back in '19, to me, in spirit. Its Nu-forme and Original formation co-existed in the same project file for a very very long time, and they influenced one another in many homeopathic but tangible ways. I don't know if it works as a game, I don't know if it works as a gift, I am quite anxious about the whole thing if I am to be perfectly honest, and I do not quite know how to feel about it yet. BUT! it is the thing that I happened to make in the end. And you can play it and judge for yourself... TODAY... On itch dot io.

With apologies to Frank Zappa's estate. The most special of thanks go out to Fen and Lydia for their help.
