First, Greg Costikyan (yes, that Greg Costikyan) has given Aching Dreams a favorable review.  Not intense praise or accolades by any means, but for what the game is, I’m very pleased with what he said.  And there’s an interesting conversation going on in the comments, too.  Really, this is kind of an amazing feeling for me; obviously Cook did a lot of work on the project (more than just art), but I’m the one who had responsibility for programming, UI design, fixing bugs, not to mention building and “shipping” the finished product.  So I feel rather…validated!

Also, I’ve started on an interactive fiction game called “The Duel” for TIGSource’s Commonplace Book Competition (horror-themed for the Halloween season!).  Check it out and make suggestions!
