Hey there r*if, it's been a long time, but I haven't had a craving for cretinous blovations deconstructing the same tired and largely
incorrect points about Galatea in just as shitty a manner as they were made ten years ago, nor have I needed to hear how the wonderful and
approachable Inform7 is responsible for all the pain and suffering in the western world. But I hope we can put how awful you are as a Usenet
group behind you since you drove virtually all my friends off, and focus on what really matters: what I've been up to.
I made a game called Cryptozookeeper, and you can download it through the Internet Archive here: (url removed)
cryptozookeeper.zip will get you everything you need if you're on Windows. At
https://www.cryptozookeeper.com there's instructions for the Mac terp (I've heard Splatterlight works, but I don't own a Mac) and the Linux terp (thanks to Gerynar for putting that together).
At this point, if the previous times I've announced games here is any indication, the next three or four posts will be people losing their
goddamn Christing minds because the archive size is almost 600 MB. If this absolutely makes you go mental and you have some way to compress MP3s better than PKZIP I'm all ears, otherwise if this really bothers you, I would invite you to party Phil Katz-style. (Though if you don't want to listen to the music, and that's perfectly legitimate, because I'm sure I'd hate r*if's taste in music in the same way you'll
probably hate mine, you can grab the story file and graphics files individually at archive.org.)
I've tried to put together a game that is funny, hopping and character-driven, but also with bits of RPGs in there as you create and train
cryptids like Big Foot, the Loch Ness Monster, shadow people and the fur-bearing trout. Let's just have makeup sex here, r*if, and get
through this, and then we can go back to pretending the other doesn't exist.
Yours in Christ,
Robb
