I'm so glad to hear the deluxe version is in the works! I am definitely looking forward to it!
And thank you so much for the kind words! This was also my first game jam and my first successfully finished project – getting this kind of feedback has really inspired me to keep trying to write adventures!
I haven't thought about publishing too much, but I do have a few ideas for other adventures in the same setting (psychedelic Renaissance Venice in Florida is just too much fun to play around with!) If I get a few of them written, maybe I'll put all of them together into a collection and try publishing it!
I would absolutely be open to collaborating on something in the future! I don't know too much about Itch either (this is the first time I've done anything on it), but I'd absolutely love to keep in touch and work on something together! Have you joined the Discord that one of the jammers set up?
