Thanks so much! I’m glad people have enjoyed it.

Very much enjoying the Thirst Frontier. Like the cumulative effect, and the way the qualities are obscured.

Thanks heaps to everyone who has spent time playing the Thirst Frontier and providing feedback. It kept me going.

Thanks, also, to Richard (of Fetch the Engines) who helped convince me to enter it at the last minute.

I haven’t tried Locked Code yet, but I thought Anwnn Simulation was amazing.

(And thanks for use of the SN tools. I really enjoyed making Thirst Frontier.)
