Hey, I bet you didn't hear that Zork 1, 2, and 3 were open-sourced today!

Today is the day to tell a strange story.

The long version we'll tell later, but the short version is this. In an attic, in his late great-uncle's house, @jon.inkle.co found a locked trunk. It took twenty years to open. Last summer he did.

Inside was a wiring diagram, and a stack of books.

Insulting to the players, insulting to the IP, insulting to the medium, the developers. And the craft itself. Fuck you executives who pushed this garbage.

Me naively thought the recent Star Trek series had more or less hit rock bottom, but I hadn't seen Strange New Worlds, now we're digging. Not sure I'll make it to the end of S1.

I should probably start posting some of my artwork here on Bluesky, starting off with some fan art I just made for
"The Legend of Drizzt" book series by the amazing R. A. Salvatore. A challenging and very fun illustration to make!

Photoshop, 2025.
