Hey #drawers, #GraphicsDesigners, #painters of the #fediverse,
I'm a #deafblind #softwaredeveloper who also creates #intfiction #games as a hobby. I like the multi media approach to interactive fiction: Those games are rarely played (only) in the console anymore, so why limit myself when creating them?
