Is the achewood text adventure still in the works?  I haven't seen any mention of it in over a year now.  Are you writing it yourself, Chris, or have you hired someone?

I am super excited by the idea of this project.

You are in a maze of twisty punchlines, all of them alike.

It is dark in here. You are likely to be criticized by a Jough.

I would definitely play Zorkwood. Or Acheband.

(Will the Achewood text adventure feature Hiram the Blacksmith?)

I hope CJ realizes how rad it is that his name is now a verb that is on par with "googled" among this crowd.

CJ, I salute you.

Nah, I just searched the board before posting to make sure there wasn't a recent thread about it.

Yes, my code guy has made an editor and I'll start piecing it together this spring/summer. The objective will be to get Lyle to dialysis despite many obstacles, and it will be impossible to win. There will be a hidden .bmp of Samantha Fox with a top on.
