Hello, ZZT.org. It's Newt. It's been a long damn while. Almost ten years or some shit like that.

I'm pretty active at http://www.glorioustrainwrecks.com these days, making little games there. I'm staging an event weekend next month (May 12-13) where over the course of a weekend, I'm going to try to get as many people to make as many ZZT games start-to-finish as they can. It's mostly a Klik 'n' Play community over there, so a lot of us over there haven't used ZZT in a long-ass time or never used it before. But if your'e still interested in just sitting down and making one or more quick (or not-quite-that-quick) games, give it a look.



Glorious Weekend of ZZT Blitzkrieg-a-thon!

Check out the page for event details! Hope to see some ZZTers involved!

I'll participate the best I can. The idea is intense, a bkbkzzt. Will there be topics, or is it just a free-for-all?

I like this.

It's a total free-for-all. Make as much as you want of what you want!

Late-notice reminder: this starts in 12 hours and 40 minutes, and I just realized it lasts two days!

I'll be making something.

I WANTED TO MAKE A HEAPING PILE OF GARBAGE GAMES BUT TURNS OUT HOSTING YOUR COMPUTER CONTEST ON MOTHERS DAY WEEKEND IS A REALLY BAD IDEA??? SEEING WHAT I CAN DO ANYWAY

indeed

Will probably submit a 30-minute entry just because.

YEAH that was pretty stupid to set it on mother's day weekend. Mother's Day is one of those holidays that sneaks up on me and I wasn't even thinking about that shit.

In all fairness, I think it snuck up on most of us. :)

I just noticed this, and I might do so! I just submitted my project (incomplete experimental art-thing), and I was wishing I had more time.

cool, i'll probably put more work into dracula's night in then. gotta think up cool new ways to call the d-man a necrotic trash bag.

Even still, not a bad turn out. That's more games then have been made in the past two years 0_o
