I mean, there is still time if you want to start right now!

Me making half of my game in 24 hours hahaha

That's the spirit! :D

Yes also, can someone explain to me how to make people playtest on Inform 7? I just don't know how to publish a game with that engine! How will I put it on Itch, lmao?

I dont use Inform, sorry :/

Perhaps it's better if you ask at intfiction.org, a very active forum with a lot of people using it.

Oh okay, nice! I'm already learning it to make games, I don't want to also learn how to publish them haha

Once your game is compiled, you should end up with a z5 or z8 file (if compiling to a z-code file) or ulx or gblorb file (if compiling to Glulx). I suspect you'll have a gblorb file. Just upload that file to your itch.io game page and provide instructions on how to run it using an appropriate interpreter. See ifwiki.org for a list of recommended interpreters for various platforms.

In the longer term, you can look into providing a browser playable version using Parchment. Instructions to do this are available in the Inform 7 help, but the templates and other files that it uses are out of date. Do a search for Parchment on intfiction.org and you should find some more up-to-date instructions.

Yes, I get this weird .gblorb file... I'll just put it on Itch as I don't even know how to playtest it myself! LOL! I didn't even know you needed an interpreter!

I just downloaded your game. It works fine. I use Windows Glulxe.
