It looks pretty great, and there are quite a few folks involved who've appeared in our pages and on our staff. If you're into erotica and/or IF, I hope you will consider backing (if you can) and/or boosting the Kickstarter.
Would love to hear what folks think about this. @SharangBiswas, any comments based in your own game design work with students?
Hey #gamedev and #academic friends. Who legally owns the creative and intellectual rights to a game that was created collective with its players? I wrote about a game at #UChicago that's raising so many questions for me as a designer and educator. chicagomaroon.com/article/20…
