Hey, ZZTers. It's 2018 and I finished an engine game I started at least 15 years ago. Maybe longer. I'm not really sure.

It's a pretty dorky thing to do. But I got a bug in my ear about and after leaving it alone since at least 2003, I decided to finish it.

I guess the thing to do with ZZT games this year is release them on itch: https://jdmgames.itch.io/nibblin

Thanks!

ZZT has a weird kind of cachet with the indie scene currently. Some of those itch games are also by former community ZZTers that are going by different names now. Pretty wild that ZZT games end up on the premier indie game storefront in the year 2018.

Up on my feet applauding you, pal. I'll take a look at it when I get home.

Pretty fitting given that the ZZT community as we know it was given life by a huge indie community.
