What's New (on this site)

01.29.26 Update to Interactive Fiction - I ported Xanadu to Inform 7 and hosted on my new Itch.io page so that it can be more easily distributed to be played (directly in a browser). It's now fully modernized with some improved descriptions and mechanics. I also published Palace of the Silver Princess on Itch so it can be played in browser. Some good progress on this front! P.S. if you play either, let me know of any bugs/quirks you find.
