Announcing the winners of Spring Thing 2023!

@AmandaB already called it, but it deserves repeating:

Both Best in Show games are debut games!

Thanks to all the authors for a wonderful month-and-a-half of games.

And good job! to all the people who sent in Ribbons.

Congratulations to the well deserved winners! And thanks so much to everyone who submitted their wonderful ribbon selections! And finally, a big thank you to everyone who gave their time to play these games (and fight through some ahem ’non-standard’ systems) to write up their (very well considered) reviews.

Edit: I think this was @30x30 's first game, too??? Is this a first, for two brand-spanking-new authors to take the gold?

You should check your Brigid’s other work (wips) on itch. I think you’d enjoy it very much!!

Big congratulations to Best of Show winners @kamineko and @30x30 and big thanks to @mathbrush for organizing!

I had a blast playing this year’s games and contributing for the first time.

Thanks for the tip–it’s great that experienced writers are finding the comp from other places!

Also, I think we all appreciate that you’re able to find other works on itch that we’ll likely enjoy, like the Twine parser entry referenced in your postmortem.
