Text Adventure Literacy Jam 2026 featured in GameObserver

This year’s TALJ has just been featured in an article on GameObserver. This is a relatively new web site that features news and articles about computer games and gaming. The web site was started around December 2025. They promote that all articles are written by humans for humans and no GenAI is used. The emphasis seems to be on the typical high-end console and computer games, so I was surprised to find any interest in text adventures. Nevertheless, any promotion is good promotion.

This is motivation to stop putting off certain hint-fixing runthroughs. I mean, beyond the comp being over, when I can feel comfortable making bigger changes.
