Are you a #SFWA member or know a #SFWA member? In a previous life, it was a dream of mine to be considered for a Nebula Award. For that to be a possibility now, in video game form, is wild to me. Please consider 1000xRESIST on your Nebula ballots!

Awesome!! Thanks so much for including The Crimson Diamond, Jono, and for your kind words! I'm so happy that you enjoyed it and felt like the gameplay was well-integrated with the overall design. That was a big goal I had for the text parser interface. 😊
