    Congrats @ChanceOfFire !

    I’ve enjoyed your writing from the beginning of beta testing.

  2. Congrats Vance! Really cool!

  3. Great idea for an expansion with so many different ways to approach play and explore the world! Choices galore!

  4. @Eiwynn @Dan_Rasmussen @NumberedEntity Thanks all!

    If you bought the game and enjoyed it, consider this update as my thanks for your support. If you were on the fence during the first release, I hope the additional content and the discount gives you a reason to take a look again.

    Also, at long last, the prize for the Spring Thing is finally complete. Wade Clarke (severedhand) over at intfiction has created River Rescue Obby, a Roblox spin-off inspired by the original game. Some final touches have just been added to the game (and I just received a note that it’s done) so now is a good time to check it out! The game is entirely free to play- all you need is a free Roblox account!

    Check it out here!

    If you’d like to get some really cool spinoffs like this, consider putting your game in next year’s Spring Thing!
